Resumo: Project management increasingly focuses on delivering benefits, considering institutional complexity and global challenges. Inland waterway transport (IWT) projects appear in the Brazilian Nationally Determined Contribution following the Paris Agreement. However, Brazilian IWT projects remain underdeveloped, and waterway freight transport capacity is underutilized. There is a literature gap on the links between budget performance, policy, politics, and project management. In particular, we know little about the effects of the interactions between governance mechanisms and public budget execution on the procurement of waterway transport infrastructure projects in Brazil. This paper aims to assess Brazilian waterway infrastructure budgetary execution and governance arrangements to determine the influence of these factors on policy failures. We performed a qualitative analysis of policy plans and investments made between 2014 and 2020 through interviews and documental research to examine 109 waterway infrastructure projects. All respondents pointed out the lack of planning as an obstacle to waterway projects, and 74% reported budget shortness. Nevertheless, we found USD 43.2 million available in budgets that were never utilized. The inability to invest is a bigger obstacle for Brazilian waterway projects than budget insufficiency. We recommend an adaptive management approach to allocate investments, in which stakeholders learn together to implement more effective project strategies.

Los proyectos de transporte por vías navegables interiores aparecen en la Contribución Determinada a Nivel Nacional de Brasil, siguiendo el Acuerdo de París. Sin embargo, los proyectos brasileños de transporte por vías navegables interiores siguen estando subdesarrollados y la capacidad de transporte de carga por vía fluvial está subutilizada. Hay un vacío en la literatura sobre los vínculos entre el desempeño del presupuesto, la política, la política y la gestión de proyectos. En particular, sabemos poco sobre los efectos de las interacciones entre los mecanismos de gobernanza y la ejecución del presupuesto público en la contratación de proyectos de infraestructura de transporte fluvial en Brasil. Este documento tiene como objetivo evaluar la ejecución presupuestaria de la infraestructura de vías fluviales brasileñas y los arreglos de gobernanza para determinar la influencia de estos factores en las fallas de las políticas. Realizamos un análisis cualitativo de planes de políticas e inversiones realizadas entre 2014 y 2020, a través de entrevistas e investigación documental, para examinar 109 proyectos de infraestructura de vías navegables. Todos los encuestados señalaron la falta de planificación como un obstáculo para los proyectos de vías navegables, y el 74% de ellos informó escasez de presupuesto. Sin embargo, encontramos US$ 43,2 millones disponibles en los presupuestos, pero nunca utilizados. La incapacidad para invertir es, por lo tanto, un obstáculo mayor para los proyectos de hidrovías brasileñas que la insuficiencia presupuestaria. Recomendamos un enfoque de gestión adaptable para asignar inversiones, en el que las partes interesadas aprendan juntas para implementar estrategias de proyecto más efectivas.A gestão de projetos se concentra cada vez mais na entrega de benefícios, considerando a complexidade institucional e os desafios globais. Os projetos de transporte hidroviário interior (THI) aparecem na Contribuição Nacionalmente Determinada do Brasil, seguindo o Acordo de Paris. No entanto, os projetos brasileiros de THI permanecem subdesenvolvidos e a capacidade de transporte hidroviário de carga é subutilizada. Há uma lacuna na literatura sobre as ligações entre desempenho orçamentário, política, política e gerenciamento de projetos. Em particular, sabemos pouco sobre os efeitos das interações entre mecanismos de governança e execução do orçamento público na contratação de projetos de infraestrutura de transporte aquaviário no Brasil. Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar a execução orçamentária da infraestrutura hidroviária brasileira e os arranjos de governança para determinar a influência desses fatores nas falhas das políticas. Realizamos uma análise qualitativa dos planos de políticas e investimentos realizados entre 2014 e 2020, por meio de entrevistas e pesquisa documental, para examinar 109 projetos de infraestrutura hidroviária. Todos os entrevistados apontaram a falta de planejamento como um entrave aos projetos hidroviários, e 74% deles relataram déficit orçamentário. Apesar disso, encontramos US$ 43,2 milhões disponíveis nos orçamentos, mas nunca utilizados. A incapacidade de investir é, portanto, um obstáculo maior para os projetos hidroviários brasileiros do que a insuficiência orçamentário. Recomendamos uma abordagem de gestão adaptativa para alocar investimentos, na qual as partes interessadas aprendam juntas para implementar estratégias de projeto mais eficazes.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-10-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8781310.1590/1679-395120210135Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 No. 5 (2023); e2021-0135Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 Núm. 5 (2023); e2021-0135Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 21 n. 5 (2023); e2021-01351679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/87813/84475https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/87813/84476https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, Bruna Renata Cavalcante deCarvalho, Eliezé Bulhões deBrasil Junior, Antonio Cesar Pinho2023-11-06T19:56:26Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/87813Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:28.720662Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
