Draft document of the Institutional Development Plan 2019-2030 (PDI)

We present to the community the draft document of the Institutional Development Plan 2019-2030 (PDI) accompanied by a summary presentation.

This document is the product of a participatory process that was based on a framework that included: the socialization of the new Institutional Project; the construction of the knowledge base around the topics of interest from a global, national and regional perspective; the mapping of internal actors linked to initiatives aligned to the aforementioned topics, as well as associated networks; and the identification of institutional capacities in these areas.

The document describes, in the first instance, the methodology used for the construction of the Institutional Development Plan 2019-2030; it then presents a diagnosis based on the external and internal context analyses prepared for each of the strategic approaches mentioned above; and, finally, it points out the programs, subprograms and strategic actions aimed at advancing in the implementation of the PDI. The next phase in the consolidation of the IMP, which is in the process of being validated by UIAES (Information and Statistical Analysis Unit attached to Planning Department), consists of establishing the indicators and goals that will delimit the scope of the institutional initiatives.

The draft document that is being sent is aimed at generating a new space for reflection and debate in the different institutional collectives (senates, school councils, faculty, associations). As a result of this analysis, a copy of the consolidated reports and minutes, with observations and recommendations are expected to be sent to the General Secretariat no later than July 16, 2019.
