APPLIED RESEARCH AS A SUCCESS FACTOR IN THE DESIGN AND MATERIALIZATION OF PUBLIC POLICIES AT THE LEVEL OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE

Abstract

The process that involves the identification of a phenomenon and the best way to solve it, in Public Administration, is, according to the authors, a process that involves research, use of scientific methods, even the definition of priorities, lacks a thorough analysis in Public Administration. Public, because when it does not go through a process that obeys methods and techniques, it may not result in the satisfaction of the need for which the plan, program or project was conceived, this phenomenon of projects that did not result in Public Administration is recurrent here in Angola, and when the causes are asked, there is almost no answer, in our view, one of the main causes is in the way plans, programs and projects are drawn up in the process, something goes wrong, or in the design, execution or evaluation , but on the other hand, it is believed that at the central government level, taking into account the scope of application and the transversality of the purpose, there are many risks that contribute to these faculties. the same cannot be said of local governance, where it is possible to be more concrete in defining the phenomenon, and to find the best variant to solve it, but then what is wrong, it is believed that local administrations, despite the insufficiency of specialized technicians, do not give priority to the importance of knowledge in Applied Research, the so-called institutional research more focused on the real and practical problem.
