Decentralization of the management of some bodies in Brasilia can improve resource management

the Administrative reform Broken, and not just the PEC: There is no detailed, consensual proposal on how to reform the state. Knowing that there is waste in managing people and suppliers, is there an alternative to spending better without replenishing? One possibility is the decentralization of management to reduce regional disparity.

take from Brasil Public bodies may be a less controversial idea than administrative reform and more cost-effective regional policy than others. According to the Transparency Gateway, hundreds of billions are spent by lonliness In the Federal DistrictSalaries, benefits and contracts with suppliers. It gives more than 60,000 RRL annually to each inhabitant of DF.

But not all public bodies must be in Brasilia, except for those that require direct and permanent dialogue with Parliament and the Supreme Courts. After all, we live in an era Zoom. State-owned and other indirect administrative bodies may be distributed among other capitals—mainly in the United States north he is from the Northeast.

These areas will benefit from server consumption and contracting with suppliers. The union could pay less for services (such as rent), and the purchasing power of civil servants would increase: Brasilia is an artificially expensive city, where a set of rules insanely limit the supply of real estate.

Perhaps the most cited public body in the world in recent years has been CDC – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is located in Atlantanot in Washington. actually European Union (well, it’s not a country) divides its apparatus equally among its 27 nations, including the poorest (such as Estonia And Greece) – Although some focus on Brussels.

Can we do something similar between our 26 states? Do the gains from decentralizing public bodies outweigh the gains from conglomerating them into DF? We already have some indirect management bodies that are headquartered outside DF, such as PetrobrasAnd border And even a regulatory agency (the central office of forget it is in River).

In the United kingdomWith the transition of power in the 2000s, tens of thousands of servers left London BBC He went to Manchester. The assessment of local economies is positive. here can be from Teresina the Porto Velho. we United States of AmericaRepublicans have a proposal to remove members from Washington, which would be in states whose economies have suffered the most in recent years.

Can the slogan “Not Brasilia, More Brazil” take a literal connotation?
