Economicidade colaborativa: uma arquitetura democrática para a contribuição de órgãos de controle externo na governança dos desastres

Abstract

O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é demonstrar como o Controle Externo pode contribuir na redução dos riscos de desastres, contribuindo para a governança democrática. Em seus objetivos específicos, o estudo pretende: a) identificar os Tribunais de Contas como condutores da participação social em estágios pré-decisórios da formulação de políticas de Redução dos Riscos de Desastres (RRD); b) propor o conceito de Economicidade Colaborativa como abordagem teórica para garantir o fortalecimento do sistema de controle e da governança democrática; c) aplicar a metodologia do design-thinking como abordagem prática para o entendimento da demanda pública ante cada realidade local.

Objective - The general objective of this research is to demonstrate how External Control can contribute to reduce the risks of disasters, contributing to democratic governance. In its specific objectives, the study intends to: a) identify Audit Courts as drivers of social participation in pre-decision stages of formulating policies for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR); b) propose the concept of Collaborative Accountability as a theoretical approach to ensure strengthening of the control system and democratic governance; c) apply designthinking methodology as a practical approach to understanding public demand of each local reality. Methodology - Design-Thinking, applying the concept of Collaborative Accountability at the ex-ante moment of the public policy of DRR, with i-Cities indicator (IEGM) in the Kingdon Multiple Flow Model (2003).Discussion and Possibilities - The possibilities revolve perspectives of the Schools of Accounts and Management (ECG), Schools of the Audit Courts that seek to improve internal and external controls. Pedagogical essence of the concept of Collaborative Accountability provides a more integrated and cohesive architecture in DRR policy, strengthening system of control of public administration, engagement of society, and democracy. Practical implications – Applicability of the research was shown to be relevant, since it opens up possibilities for better qualification of public policies capable of dealing with wicked problems such as disasters, when from the moment of the pre-decision stages of its formulation. It also improves degree of institutionality of the Audit Courts, contributes to updating of IEGM as well as improves DRR policy and Public Administration. Social implications - The study allows to know performance of the Accounts Courts and to propose improvements in external control given historical and evolutionary conditions of the public administration, in the context of a democratic society in network. In this context, when referencing the citizen in the center of the democratic framework, Collaborative Accountability uses social learning to bring educated citizens and trained public servants, concerned with generating a public value that considers equity and culminates in Social Resilience. It seeks to develop a collective consciousness capable of arousing in the elected agent greater capacity to operate with different forms of knowledge acquisition, allowing greater inclusion and participation of citizens and public servants in formulation of public policies (RRD), when in their pre- according to local reality. Originality - Collaborative Accountability, of pedagogical essence and applicable by Schools of Accounts and Management (ECG), revisits classical approaches and suggests new arrangements capable of dealing with complexity of current public problems such as disasters. Thus, External Control Bodies can use these arrangements to watch over public policy cycle - from the origin - exercising a more integrative and cohesive control. It is a new approach to stimulate democratic concertation and civic engagement in policy-making, providing new areas for future research on subject
