📋 Tender Overview
The Cooperation Fund for Social Development - Foncodes, a national program of the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion-Midis, is a pioneer in the application of the core executive management model, and has achieved high levels of effectiveness in the transparent management of public funds, thus curbing cases of corruption.
Therefore, currently, the executing nucleus is successfully applied in all projects and programs of Foncodes such as Haku Wiñay / Noa Jayatai, Student Residences, Purchases to MYPErú, My Entrepreneurship Women and others.
The traditional way and the one used in the country, is to entrust a contractor with the execution of projects and public works that are often truncated. On the other hand, with the executing nucleus, this practice is replaced, since it is the user population itself that manages the purchase of materials and other inputs with public funds.
The money of the State is transferred to the executing nuclei, under the modality of "donation with charge", and at the end of the management of the project that lasts 3 years, renders accounts in a transparent way of the resources allocated.
This type of contract, called the executing nucleus, has legal personality, is created on a temporary basis for the duration of the project and its representatives are elected in a democratic and concerted manner. This management model gives the user population the responsibility of managing the administration of resources and decision-making such as acquiring materials, hiring technical and professional services for the implementation of projects and others.
The core executing model was created in the early nineties by Foncodes, to execute social and productive infrastructure projects to support citizens in poverty and extreme poverty in rural communities of the country.
This innovative and dynamic management model revalues and is based on Andean culture and its ancestral practices such as ayni (mutual help between relatives) and minka (community work with social objectives).
The executing nucleus is made up of four members. The president, the secretary and the treasurer, who are elected in a participatory and democratic manner in a general assembly; The Public Prosecutor is appointed by the District Municipality by resolution. Any neighbor, male or female user, who lives in a community or population center and who has time availability, is responsible and honest to assume the position can be elected.
The emergence of the nucleus
In Peru, the effects of the crisis of the eighties and nineties led to an economic adjustment, as part of the reform of the State. In order to counteract the impact on the most vulnerable population, on August 15, 1991, the Compensation Fund for Social Development - Foncodes was created, and years later it changed its name to the Cooperation Fund for Social Development - Foncodes.
At that time, while in the other social funds of Latin America the projects were executed through a contractor, Foncodes, with the core executing model already promoted the participatory approach of the user population to access project financing. Rural communities were organized and constituted before Foncodes as executing nuclei, thus promoting their participation in the election and execution of projects.
Today, the experience of the executing nucleus is significant, the Foncodes project management tool is applied throughout the country. By the end of 2023, with the Haku Wiñay/Noa Jayatai project, 91 executing nuclei will be formed, through which 182 productive projects will be executed, with an investment of 224.2 million soles, which will allow the incorporation of 36,513 new user families, in 88 districts of 69 provinces and 21 departments of the country.
