El impuesto predial es el principal impuesto a nivel municipal en el país. No obstante, la recaudación predial en el Perú representa solo el 0,25% del Producto Bruto Interno (MEF, 2022). Esto es bajo comparado con otros países en América Latina.\n\nEs el primero documento de la serie \"Gestión de Riesgos para mejorar la entrega de productos a nivel subnacional\", la cual consiste en documentos de trabajo vinculados a las materias focalizadas. Estos documentos recogen la experiencia de los gobiernos regionales y gobiernos locales socios del Programa GFP Subnacional y el conocimiento de sus consultores, a fin de convertirse en un insumo práctico para identificar y tratar los principales riesgos que pueden afectar la producción y la entrega de bienes o servicios y el logro de los objetivos institucionales de las entidades a nivel subnacional.\n\nEsta serie se desarrolla sobre la base de las disposiciones de la Contraloría General de la República del Perú (CGR) en la Directiva N° 006-2019-CG\u002FINTEG, \"Implementación del Sistema de Control Interno en las Entidades del Estado\" (en adelante, Directiva SCI) y las orientaciones en la \"Guía para la Gestión de Riesgos para los Gobiernos Regionales, en el marco de la implementación del Sistema de Control Interno\" (CGR, 2022b). Asimismo, adopta las pautas de la Secretaría de Integridad Pública de la Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros, en la \"Guía de Gestión de Riesgos que afectan la Integridad Pública\" (PCM, 2023).\n\nEn este sentido, las propuestas contenidas en estos documentos de trabajo pueden ser consideradas por las entidades cuando elaboren su \"plan de acción anual - sección medidas de control\", que es una herramienta establecida por la CGR, en el marco de la implementación del SCI.\n\nEl desarrollo y la elaboración de este documento han sido posible gracias al Programa de Fortalecimiento de la Gestión de las Finanzas Públicas a Nivel Subnacional en el Perú (2019-2023) -

Al respecto, se ha calculado que los países pierden en promedio entre 30% y 50% de los beneficios en el proceso. En el Perú, específicamente, se pierde el 40% debido a las dificultades en la administración de dichos proyectos (FMI, 2020).\n\nAnte dicha problemática, se hace necesario fortalecer las capacidades de los gobiernos subnacionales para la ejecución de la inversión pública y para superar los desafíos que estos procesos plantean.\n\nEn tal sentido, el presente documento se plantea como objetivo contribuir con la mejora de las capacidades de los niveles de gobierno regional y local en la ejecución de la inversión pública, a través del estudio de casos referidos a la identificación y análisis de situaciones adversas y obstáculos recurrentes que afectan o pueden afectar la continuidad, el resultado o el logro de los objetivos.\n\nEllo permitiría a los funcionarios de gobiernos subnacionales

The Global Forum is an initiative of The World Bank. The contribution was submitted in July 2020; the version below contains minor updates to hyperlinks.\n\nIt explores how covid-19 has exposed cracks and flaws in the systems designed to protect communities from corruption and has accelerated existing trends in financial crime. The next systemic disruption may come from another pandemic, climate change or perhaps biological or cyber attacks. Whatever the future holds, it is clear that financial crime systems must become more resilient if they are to protect us. \n\nThe article notes that the world has an opportunity to reflect meaningfully on the problems and build stronger, more efficient and effective systems against financial crime. It covers three areas:\n\n\n- Technology, and how technology upgrades in law enforcement and criminal justice proceedings are necessary but not sufficient\n- Streamlining and speeding up procedures in cases of financial crime, such as mutual legal assistance \n- Citizen engagement in the fight against financial crime, including mobilising citizens by using recovered proceeds of corruption and crime to fund essential healthcare services.\n",2021,"Basel Institute on Governance","2021-12-20",[439,43,63,101,440],"Asset Recovery","Public Governance",[],[443],{"url":444,"caption":445},"https:\u002F\u002Fglobalforumljd.com\u002Fwhats-new\u002Fglobal-forum-law-justice-and-development-review-legal-experiences-and-global-practices"," View the GFLJD Review of Legal Experiences and Global Practices Relating to COVID-19",[16,43,63,101,51],[363],[449],"Article",{"id":451,"storage":128,"filename_disk":452,"filename_download":453,"title":454,"type":132,"created_on":429,"modified_on":429,"charset":7,"filesize":455,"width":456,"height":457,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":7,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":458,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":429},"8e820908-5ca1-4e36-bee9-aea6fbd4b1e3","8e820908-5ca1-4e36-bee9-aea6fbd4b1e3.jpg","Pages-from-Papering-over-cracks-or-building-stronger-systems-together.jpg","GFLJD contribution cover page",364925,1653,2339,{},[],[],[462],{"id":463,"sort":7,"publications_id":464,"directus_files_id":477},1791,{"id":428,"status":125,"sort":7,"user_created":243,"date_created":429,"user_updated":465,"date_updated":430,"nid":431,"slug":432,"image":451,"title":433,"body":434,"citation":214,"language":363,"year":435,"publisher":436,"date_published":437,"external":219,"topic":466,"link_internal":467,"link_external":468,"featured":219,"topics":470,"languages":471,"type":472,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":7,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"og_image":7,"countries":473,"tags":474,"pdf":475,"authors":476},"dfef11db-1bc6-47e9-a61d-93443995484b",[439,43,63,101,440],[],[469],{"url":444,"caption":445},[16,43,63,101,51],[363],[449],[],[],[463],[],{"id":478,"storage":128,"filename_disk":479,"filename_download":480,"title":480,"type":282,"folder":283,"uploaded_by":243,"created_on":429,"modified_by":7,"modified_on":429,"charset":7,"filesize":481,"width":7,"height":7,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":482,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":7,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":429},"ec710e8c-ea21-4427-a787-53f8fe264e33","ec710e8c-ea21-4427-a787-53f8fe264e33.pdf","Papering-over-cracks-or-building-stronger-systems-together.pdf",186129,"Download PDF",[],{"id":485,"status":125,"sort":7,"date_created":486,"date_updated":487,"nid":488,"slug":489,"title":490,"body":491,"citation":214,"language":363,"year":435,"publisher":436,"date_published":492,"external":219,"topic":493,"link_internal":495,"link_external":499,"featured":219,"topics":500,"languages":501,"type":502,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":7,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"image":504,"og_image":7,"countries":512,"tags":513,"pdf":514,"authors":536},1794,"2022-04-27T11:53:40.000Z","2026-06-02T14:08:40.000Z",2070,"annual-report-2020","Annual Report 2020","Our Annual Report celebrates the achievements of our teams and partners around the world that we are most proud of in 2020. It also reveals some of the challenges we had to overcome, together.

We are happy to partner with three leading Peruvian academic and research institutions: the Institute of Peruvian Studies, Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana (GPC) and Universidad del Pacífico.\n\nThe first dialogue took place in the city of Piura in northwestern Peru. Public officials, specialists, academics and civil society representatives held technical discussions on multilevel governance and the coordination of the state’s administrative systems.\n\n## Why decentralisation needs local voices\n\nDecentralisation can bring decision-making closer to people and make public services and investment more responsive to local needs. But transferring responsibilities is not enough. Regional and local governments also need adequate resources, institutional capacity and administrative systems that work across different levels of the state.\n\nThis is a challenge in many countries. National policies and systems need to provide consistency, while leaving enough room to respond to different regional circumstances. Without that balance, decentralisation can result in fragmented policies and spending rather than more effective government.\n\nListening to people who work with these systems on the ground is therefore essential. Their experience can reveal where national policies support local delivery, where they create obstacles and what could work better.\n\n## Understanding *territorios* \n\nThe word *territorio* reflects this approach. In Spanish, it means more than a geographical area. It describes the ties between people, institutions and the places in which they live. \n\nIt also carries political and social meaning. Local identities, inequalities and economic and environmental conditions all affect how people experience the state.\n\nIn the debate about decentralisation, *territorio* therefore highlights a desire to gain a ground-up understanding of people’s realities in order to inform state reforms.\n\n## Concrete outcomes from the Piura dialogue\n\nPiura offers an especially relevant setting for the first regional dialogue. Its major infrastructure needs and its experience of climate-related shocks, reconstruction and disaster risk management illustrate the limits of fragmented public action. \n\nThey also underline the need for stronger coordination across sectors and levels of government.\n\nThe discussion centred on a policy paper draft by [Carlos Vargas](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fabout\u002Fteam\u002Fcarlos-vargas\u002F), Director of the Basel Institute’s Subnational PFM Programme. It highlighted the need to strengthen coordination across planning, budgeting, public investment, procurement and implementation.\n\nParticipants also stressed that decentralisation reform should go beyond the transfer of responsibilities across levels of government. A key priority is to ensure that the State’s administrative systems work together more effectively at the local level. This would enable public institutions to respond in a more coordinated and coherent way to local needs and priorities. As Carlos Vargas said: \n\n> Piura shows that decentralisation is not only about transferring functions, it is about connecting systems, resources and capacities so that public action responds to local priorities and citizens’ needs.\n\n## How regional experience will inform national policy\n\nThe contributions from Piura and other regional dialogues in Arequipa, Cusco, Loreto and Lambayeque will inform a revised version of the policy paper and a wider set of recommendations for Peru’s national policy debate. \n\nEach dialogue will examine a different aspect of the relationship between decentralisation, public management and territorial development.\n\nIf decentralisation is to work for people across Peru, regional and local experience must help shape it.\n","2026-08-24","peru-decentralisation-debate",[101],[670],"Main page",{"id":672,"storage":128,"filename_disk":673,"filename_download":674,"title":675,"type":132,"created_on":676,"modified_on":662,"charset":7,"filesize":677,"width":556,"height":136,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":678,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":679,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":680},"6a8cb1ad-6aa6-48ef-9e24-4e4c0dbc7306","6a8cb1ad-6aa6-48ef-9e24-4e4c0dbc7306.jpg","Piura - Alexander Rugel.jpg","Piura   Alexander Rugel","2026-08-24T13:45:12.000Z",783053,"Photo: Alexander Rugel",{},"2026-08-24T13:45:13.000Z",[682],{"id":683,"news_id":684,"countries_id":697},7824,{"id":660,"status":125,"user_created":685,"date_created":661,"user_updated":685,"date_updated":662,"title":663,"type":664,"body":665,"image":672,"date":666,"topic":7,"slug":667,"activity":7,"nid":7,"topics":686,"activities":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":687,"translation_of":7,"language":363,"countries":688,"tags":689,"authors":692,"images":693,"translations":694,"content":695,"translations_news":696},"115250da-6c1d-42e7-888a-fbbe909fc524",[101],[670],[683],[690,691],6086,6087,[],[],[],[],[],{"id":258,"name":259,"code":260,"latitude":261,"longitude":262},[699,713],{"id":690,"news_id":700,"tags_id":710},{"id":660,"status":125,"user_created":685,"date_created":661,"user_updated":685,"date_updated":662,"title":663,"type":664,"body":665,"image":672,"date":666,"topic":7,"slug":667,"activity":7,"nid":7,"topics":701,"activities":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":702,"translation_of":7,"language":363,"countries":703,"tags":704,"authors":705,"images":706,"translations":707,"content":708,"translations_news":709},[101],[670],[683],[690,691],[],[],[],[],[],{"id":711,"name":712},1371,"Public governance",{"id":691,"news_id":714,"tags_id":724},{"id":660,"status":125,"user_created":685,"date_created":661,"user_updated":685,"date_updated":662,"title":663,"type":664,"body":665,"image":672,"date":666,"topic":7,"slug":667,"activity":7,"nid":7,"topics":715,"activities":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":716,"translation_of":7,"language":363,"countries":717,"tags":718,"authors":719,"images":720,"translations":721,"content":722,"translations_news":723},[101],[670],[683],[690,691],[],[],[],[],[],{"id":646,"name":647},[],[],[],[],[],{"id":731,"status":125,"date_created":732,"date_updated":733,"title":734,"type":735,"body":736,"date":737,"topic":7,"slug":738,"activity":7,"nid":7,"topics":739,"activities":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":740,"language":363,"image":741,"translation_of":7,"countries":749,"tags":770,"authors":823,"images":840,"translations":841,"content":842,"translations_news":843},10638,"2026-06-22T15:13:42.000Z","2026-07-10T07:01:29.000Z","From budgets to bridges: how better public finance management improves lives in Peru and beyond","Blog","*How public money is managed at the local level has a direct impact on people's lives – from whether children get their school books to the conservation of local environments on which many communities depend for their health and livelihoods.*\n\n*For more than a decade, the Basel Institute on Governance and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) have partnered with regional and municipal governments across Peru to strengthen public financial management and improve public service delivery.*\n\n*Through the [Programa GFP Subnacional](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gfpsubnacional.pe\u002F), a dedicated team combines practical technical assistance with innovative approaches, including data analytics, digital tools and behavioural interventions. Together, these help governments make better decisions, use resources more effectively and communicate better with the people they serve.*\n\n*In this Q&A, Programme Director Carlos Vargas explains how Programa GFP Subnacional – the Subnational Public Finance Management (PFM) programme – works, what it has achieved and why its lessons matter beyond Peru.*\n\n## How does the programme help governments deliver better services?\nBroadly speaking, the programme aims to enhance processes for public service delivery and improve the capacity of subnational governments to use public resources responsibly.\n\nIn practice, this means really hands-on assistance with things like tax management or budget planning that both covers the required resources (e.g. teaching materials) and considers what’s needed to deliver a service (e.g. enough vehicles to distribute the materials to schools).\n\nThis in turn ensures that citizens receive public services in the quantity and quality they need and projects are completed within budget and on time.\n\nIn other words, the programme aims to make a real difference in people's lives – particularly in areas like education, health, biodiversity conservation and the fight against climate change.\n\nOur advisors work hand-in-hand with local officials, providing technical assistance, training and support with technology in line with national priorities and systems.\n\n## What difference has the programme made in terms of revenue generation?\nThe results have been significant.\n\nOne of the clearest examples comes from Tarapoto in the San Martín region. Through automated WhatsApp reminders, streamlined processes and a new online payment system, the municipality increased property tax collection. The additional revenue helped fund a bridge that now provides around 800 pupils with safe, direct access to their school.\n\nIn the Municipality of Piura, we helped automate tax collection processes using algorithms and artificial intelligence to better understand taxpayer behaviour.\n\nThis allowed us to group taxpayers into categories and design tailored communication strategies for each, which helped increase property tax revenue – funds governments need to invest in public services.\n\n## How about in education or conservation?\nIn education, we have assisted regions to ensure that around 95 percent of school materials now arrive on time before the start of the school year. The programme has also contributed to the timely delivery of vaccines and medicines.\n\nOn biodiversity conservation, we have supported three regional governments in Peru to establish a baseline for deforestation, drawing on 24 years' worth of data to identify zones that are particularly vulnerable to deforestation and other illegal activities.\n\nBased on this, we have developed an early warning system that enables regional governments to act more quickly and direct their limited resources towards the most critical areas rather than trying to cover vast territories.\n\n## Why are regional and municipal governments so important?\nIn Peru, public spending is highly decentralised – around 35 to 45 percent of the budget is allocated to regional governments and municipalities.\n\nThese are the entities closest to citizens. If this final link in the chain does not work well, citizens will not receive the services they need.\n\n## How does better public finance management reduce corruption risks?\nBy improving the efficiency and transparency of processes within public bodies, we limit discretionary power and reduce opportunities for corruption.\n\nThe programme has generated concrete evidence of this. The regional government of Loreto – Peru’s largest region – for example, rose from 18th to 4th place in the national ranking of corruption prevention capacity after becoming a programme beneficiary.\n\nThis kind of progress matters, because corruption ultimately undermines the delivery of public services and the responsible use of public resources.\n\n## What can other countries learn from Peru's experience?\nWe see the Programa GFP Subnacional as a laboratory for public finance innovation. Over more than a decade, it has generated proven tools and approaches that improve efficiency, reduce losses and help ensure the quality of public services.\n\nThis body of evidence – tested and refined over time – represents a form of global learning.\n\nThe lessons and best practices the programme generated can be shared not only across Peru but also with other countries, where they can be adapted to local needs.\n\nIn this sense, the Swiss government's investment in the programme goes beyond impact in a specific region: it is an investment in generating knowledge and innovations that can inform public financial management reforms and help improve public services and the lives of citizens elsewhere.\n","2026-07-08","interview-how-better-public-finance-management-improves-lives",[101],[670],{"id":742,"storage":128,"filename_disk":743,"filename_download":744,"title":745,"type":552,"created_on":746,"modified_on":746,"charset":7,"filesize":747,"width":556,"height":136,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":7,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":748,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":746},"22d93982-9aff-4a6d-a204-9b9a63aa8e6f","22d93982-9aff-4a6d-a204-9b9a63aa8e6f.png","Website

Esto llevó a un aumento de la recaudación que luego sirvió para financiar la construcción de un puente que ahora permite que 800 estudiantes tengan acceso directo y seguro a su escuela. \n\nEn la Municipalidad de Piura también ayudamos a automatizar los procesos de recaudación utilizando algoritmos e inteligencia artificial que nos permitieron entender mejor el comportamiento de los contribuyentes. \n\nEsto nos permitió establecer tipologías y, en función de ellas, diseñar estrategias diferenciadas de comunicación, lo que ayudó a aumentar la recaudación del impuesto predial; fondos que las municipalidades necesitan para financiar servicios públicos e inversiones.\n\n## ¿Y qué se ha logrado en materia de educación o conservación?\n\nEn educación, hemos ayudado a las regiones a asegurar que alrededor del 95% de los materiales educativos llegue a tiempo antes del inicio del año escolar. El programa también ha contribuido a la entrega oportuna de vacunas y medicamentos.  \n\nEn lo que respecta a la conservación de la biodiversidad, hemos apoyado a tres gobiernos regionales en el Perú para que puedan contar con una línea de base sobre la deforestación. Para ello, usamos datos recogidos durante 24 años para poder identificar las áreas críticas, es decir, zonas particularmente vulnerables a la deforestación y otras actividades ilegales. \n\nCon esta información, elaboramos un sistema de alerta temprana que permite a los gobiernos regionales no solo actuar más rápido, sino también optimizar sus escasos recursos y dirigirlos a aquellas zonas críticas, en lugar de intentar cubrir todo el territorio. \n\n## ¿Por qué los gobiernos regionales y municipales son tan importantes?\n\nEso tiene que ver directamente con la participación que tienen en el presupuesto público. En países de Latinoamérica, y de manera muy marcada en el Perú, el gasto público está altamente descentralizado: alrededor del 35% hasta el 45% representa el presupuesto del gobierno subnacional; es decir, de los gobiernos regionales y municipalidades.\n\nEstas entidades tienen la conexión más directa con los ciudadanos. Es decir, si existen problemas en este último eslabón de la cadena de prestación de los servicios públicos, los ciudadanos no podrán recibir los servicios públicos que requieren.\n\n## ¿Cómo puede una mejor gestión de las finanzas públicas ayudar a reducir los riesgos de corrupción?\n\nAl mejorar la eficiencia y aumentar la transparencia en los procesos y las actividades que se realizan dentro de una entidad pública, reducimos los espacios de corrupción y limitamos la discrecionalidad. \n\nDe hecho, el programa ya ha generado evidencia concreta que así lo respalda. Tenemos casos como el de Loreto —la región más grande del Perú— que, al pasar a ser beneficiario del programa, subió del puesto 18 al 4.º puesto en el ranking nacional de capacidad de prevención de la corrupción. \n\nEste tipo de avances son fundamentales, porque la corrupción finalmente termina atentando, limitando o dificultando la entrega de los servicios públicos debido a un mal manejo de los recursos públicos. \n\n## ¿Qué lecciones pueden aprender otros países de la experiencia del Perú?\n\nNosotros vemos al Programa GFP Subnacional como un laboratorio de innovación en gestión de las finanzas públicas. A lo largo de más de una década de implementación, hemos podido generar evidencia, herramientas y enfoques que mejoran la eficiencia, reducen las pérdidas y ayudan a asegurar la calidad de los servicios públicos. \n\nEste conjunto de conocimientos, validado y consolidado a lo largo del tiempo, representa una suerte de aprendizaje global. \n\nAsí, creemos que las buenas prácticas y lecciones aprendidas que el programa ha generado pueden ser compartidas no solo con otras regiones dentro del Perú, sino también con otros países, donde pueden ser adaptadas a necesidades y realidades locales. \n\nEn este sentido, la inversión que ha hecho el gobierno suizo va más allá de una región específica: es una inversión que genera conocimiento e innovación que otros países también pueden aprovechar para orientar sus reformas en materia de gestión de las finanzas públicas y, con ello, mejorar los servicios y las condiciones socioeconómicas de sus ciudadanos.",{"id":731,"status":125,"user_created":753,"date_created":732,"user_updated":754,"date_updated":733,"title":734,"type":735,"body":736,"image":742,"date":737,"topic":7,"slug":738,"activity":7,"nid":7,"topics":850,"activities":7,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":851,"translation_of":7,"language":363,"countries":852,"tags":853,"authors":854,"images":855,"translations":856,"content":857,"translations_news":858},[101],[670],[751],[759,760,761,762],[764],[],[],[],[20],{"id":860,"status":125,"date_created":861,"date_updated":862,"title":863,"type":735,"body":864,"date":865,"topic":866,"slug":867,"activity":868,"nid":872,"topics":873,"activities":874,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":7,"language":363,"image":875,"translation_of":7,"countries":881,"tags":902,"authors":966,"images":984,"translations":985,"content":986,"translations_news":987},10596,"2026-01-12T11:01:44.000Z","2026-06-24T13:41:07.000Z","A career with purpose in public finance management: Límberg Chero","_Our colleague Límberg Chero has played an important role in establishing the Basel Institute’s strong presence in Peru. From the early years – even before a formal office existed in Lima – to his current work with the [Subnational Public Finance Management Programme](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fpublic-finance-peru) ([Programa GFP Subnacional](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gfpsubnacional.pe\u002F)), his journey reflects a great passion for fighting corruption. It began far from the capital, in an ancient town in northern Peru, and was strengthened through rigorous academic training and years of public service._\n\n_This article is part of a series on careers in fighting financial crime and opportunities to learn and study with the Basel Institute._\n\n## The take-off in Peru\n\nMy journey at the Basel Institute on Governance began even before the Lima office existed.\n\nIn 2014, together with colleagues from the Basel Institute – including our dearly missed Managing Director of two decades, Gretta Fenner, and my colleague Óscar Solórzano – we launched a public finance management project funded by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs of Switzerland (SECO).\n\nAlthough centred on macroeconomics and fiscal policy, its essential goal was to make the public budget tangible and meaningful for citizens.\n\nTo do this, we moved beyond traditional approaches and integrated innovative tools, like the use of behavioural science to prevent corruption and foster integrity in the management of public finances. This comprehensive perspective – a novelty in Peru at the time – was key to the project proposal’s success.\n\nSince then, the Subnational Public Finance Management Programme for regional and municipal governments in Peru has retained SECO’s trust for more than 10 years.\n\nThe secret behind this success lies not only in improved processes and fiscal discipline, but in the continuous work with people committed to change. Internally, the Basel Institute’s team is multidisciplinary, open to change and committed to bridging practice and academic insight.\n\n## Bridging differences for sustainability\n\nWorking at the Basel Institute on Governance is truly a privilege. Our Lima office has gained remarkable regional recognition thanks to a distinctive approach: practical, rigorous and focused on building strong relationships with key actors in the fight against corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing.\n\nI currently lead the Subnational PFM Programme’s Interinstitutional Coordination, ensuring the programme’s effectiveness and, above all, the sustainability of reforms at subnational levels, in alignment with national efforts.\n\nThis work requires the continuous reconciliation of the different “languages”, worldviews and objectives of people across Peru’s diverse regions.\n\nOur aim is to craft strategies and messages that resonate equally to ministries, regional governments and municipalities – aligning technical agendas with political ones, and engaging civil society and academia along the way.\n\nThis challenge becomes more manageable because of my background: I come from an ancient town in northern Peru, Monsefú. Being perceived as someone close yet trained in competitive academic and professional environments fosters trust and legitimacy.\n\n## From economics to a global mission\n\nAs a child, leaving my town felt impossible. Universities were located in other regions and the educational options available largely led to local career paths tied to a modest economy with little real opportunities. At that time, the country had not yet experienced the trade openness or business development it has today.\n\nThrough hard work and the trust of people who believed in me, however, I earned scholarships that allowed me to study in highly competitive environments in Peru’s capital, Lima, more than 1,000 kilometres away from my hometown.\n\nMy foundations were solid: I completed my undergraduate studies in economics and later specialised through the Central Bank’s Economics Programme, which admits only 30 candidates out of thousands of applicants, as well as through an internship at the World Bank in Korea.\n\nI worked as an economist at institutions such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the Andean Community (CAN) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).\n\nAt that time, my professional life felt complete: it combined specialised technical work with teaching and active participation in international networks. These included the Andrés Bello Agreement Network, which brought together university researchers from multiple countries to reflect on and advance regional integration in Ibero-America, as well as the Puentes Network, which focused on promoting transparency in investment by Latin American companies.\n\nBut everything changed when I fully grasped the scope of the challenges posed by global corruption. I never imagined my economics degree would only be the starting point of a much bigger journey. From that moment on, my purpose became clear: to dedicate all my experience to strengthening this fight against forces that hinder global prosperity.\n\n## Innovating with little budget\n\nIn Latin America, the Basel Institute is known for results-oriented innovation. I have witnessed firsthand how every new skill quickly finds a practical application and how we can make significant contributions without the need for additional funding.\n\nFor example, I could draw on my Master’s degrees in Process Innovation and Government Control, and in Public Management and Education (Andragogy) to enrich various initiatives we pursued, such as:\n\n*   supporting regional governments in implementing structural reforms in significantly shorter timeframes;\n*   strengthening Peru’s [Public Finance Management Experts Network](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fnews\u002Fswiss-support-public-finance-management-experts-network-peru), which was recognised during [Peru’s National Innovation Week](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fnews\u002Fperus-innovation-week-showcases-training-concept-our-public-finance-management-team);\n*   and reducing dropout rates and increasing course completion in our Internal Control and Integrity courses through, among other things, the introduction of “virtual coffee breaks”.\n\nDuring the pandemic, we leveraged my background in education to [enhance our online learning and training approach and results](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-design-virtual-training-course-works-your-context-experiences-peru). For example, we started to deliver courses and training across the country via Facebook, a platform that at the time did not charge for mobile data usage and allowed public officials to participate even using low-end mobile phones. These courses have since been integrated into [Basel LEARN](https:\u002F\u002Flearn.baselgovernance.org\u002F) – the Basel Institute’s online training and learning hub.\n\nTogether, these efforts enabled us to develop courses that reached more than 6,000 participants in five years – all without additional funding.\n\n## It’s all about people\n\nMy work has focused on ensuring the sustainability of tangible improvements to public finance management that the PFM Programme’s experts helped implement in areas as varied as:\n\n*   distribution of vaccines and educational materials for children;\n*   property tax collection in major cities;\n*   restitution of confiscated funds;\n*   and the fight against “green corruption”.\n\nIn this context, the most valuable asset is our network. I have more than 20,000 contacts on my business phone – all professionals who directly or indirectly contribute to the Programme’s goals, and above all, friends committed to building a better Peru.\n\nThis network generates mutual benefits: it enables the rapid dissemination of good practices, drastically reduces event preparation costs (we secure many venues at zero cost) and ensures massive impact.\n\nColleagues across the Basel Institute are a vital part of this network. Our close collaboration has led me to take part in a wide range of diverse and fascinating projects – from serving as a director and writer for several programme-produced videos, to moderating international events on asset recovery, and exchanging methodologies used in public finance management that can be applied to asset recovery and repatriation.\n\n## The foundation that inspires and sustains hope\n\nThe Peruvian context presents unique challenges. There is high political volatility, evidenced by the fact that there have been eight presidents in the past 10 years despite only two presidential elections in that period. This means that “VUCA” (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) and the notion of “chaos” are part of daily life.\n\nYet, beneath this instability lies a “subsoil” of ethically committed public officials and technical professionals who allow progress to continue. They are my daily source of inspiration.\n\nAs I often say: There are more good people than bad – they just make less noise. This reflects a reality: the visible efforts of honest Peruvians provide a stronger foundation than the corruption cases that shake us, even if public perception sometimes suggests otherwise.\n\nIn sum, I am deeply grateful for the privilege of engaging with my country and its challenges through work that strengthens public integrity and the fight against corruption. Thank you, Basel Institute – and its magnificent team around the globe – for allowing me to continue serving the world, and especially my country.\n\n## Inspired?\n\nTake a look at the learning

la presencia del Basel Institute en Perú. Desde los años previos a la apertura de la oficina en Lima hasta su trabajo actual en el [Programa GFP Subnacional](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gfpsubnacional.pe\u002F), su trayectoria refleja un profundo compromiso con la integridad pública y la lucha contra la corrupción. Su camino comenzó lejos de la capital, en un pueblo milenario del norte del país, y se fue forjando a través de una rigurosa formación académica y años de servicio público._\n\n_Este artículo forma parte de una serie sobre carreras vinculadas al crimen financiero y sobre las oportunidades de aprendizaje y formación que ofrece el Basel Institute._\n\n## El despegue en Perú\n\nMi camino en el Basel Institute on Governance comenzó antes de que la sede de Lima existiera.\n\nEn el año 2014, junto a varios colegas del Basel Institute, incluyendo a nuestra recordada Directora General durante 20 años, Gretta Fenner, y mi colega Óscar Solórzano, iniciamos la puesta en marcha de un proyecto de finanzas públicas financiado por la Secretaría de Estado para Asuntos Económicos de la Confederación Suiza (SECO).\n\nAunque el núcleo del proyecto era la macroeconomía y la política fiscal, el objetivo esencial era asegurar que el presupuesto público fuera tangible y significativo para la ciudadanía.\n\nEsto nos obligó a trascender los enfoques tradicionales e integrar herramientas innovadoras, tales como las ciencias del comportamiento, para fomentar la integridad y prevenir la corrupción en la gestión de finanzas públicas. Esta visión integral, una novedad en el país en aquella época, fue vital para el éxito de la propuesta.\n\nDesde entonces, el Programa de fortalecimiento de la Gestión Financiera Pública de gobiernos regionales y locales del Perú ha mantenido la confianza de SECO por más de diez años, una longevidad prácticamente inigualable.\n\nEl secreto de este éxito no radica solo en la mejora de procesos o la disciplina fiscal, sino en el trabajo permanente con las personas que impulsan el cambio. Para ello, el Basel Institute cuenta con un equipo multidisciplinario, abierto al cambio y comprometido con crear puentes entre la práctica y la academia.\n\n## Uniendo lenguajes para la sostenibilidad\n\nTrabajar en el Basel Institute on Governance es un verdadero privilegio. Nuestra oficina en Lima ha logrado una notable aceptación regional gracias a un enfoque de trabajo único: práctico, profundo y enfocado en construir relaciones sólidas con actores clave en la lucha contra la corrupción, el lavado de activos y el financiamiento del terrorismo.\n\nActualmente, lidero la Coordinación Interinstitucional del Programa GFP Subnacional. Mi rol busca asegurar la buena marcha y, sobre todo, la sostenibilidad de reformas en los niveles subnacionales, en coordinación con el nivel nacional.\n\nEsto implica un esfuerzo constante por conjugar los lenguajes, cosmovisiones y objetivos completamente diferentes de personas de las distintas regiones del país.\n\nNuestra meta es crear estrategias y mensajes que sean relevantes tanto para un ministerio, un gobierno regional o una municipalidad por igual, para así alinear las agendas técnicas con las políticas, incluyendo tanto a la sociedad civil como a la academia.\n\nEste desafío se facilita gracias a mi origen: provengo de un pueblo milenario del norte del Perú, Monsefú. El ser percibido como alguien cercano, pero que se pudo formar en ambientes académicos y profesionales competitivos, facilita la confianza y legitimidad.\n\n## De la economía a una misión global\n\nDurante mi niñez, salir de mi pueblo parecía imposible. Las universidades estaban en otra ciudad y solo brindaban la oportunidad de seguir alguna carrera local, enfocada en actividades de una economía poco desarrollada y con escasas oportunidades reales. Por ese entonces, el país no tenía la apertura comercial ni el desarrollo empresarial que tiene hoy.\n\nGracias a mucho esfuerzo y la fe de personas anónimas, pude acceder a becas para formarme en ambientes altamente competitivos en Lima, la capital de Perú, a 1.000 kilómetros de mi ciudad natal.\n\nMi base fue sólida: estudié economía como carrera de pregrado y luego me especialicé con el curso de Economía del Banco Central (donde solo entran 30 de entre miles de postulantes) y haciendo una pasantía en el Banco Mundial en Corea.\n\nLuego trabajé con temas de macroeconomía en instituciones como el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas, el Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, la Comunidad Andina (CAN) y el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID).\n\nPor ese entonces, mi vida profesional parecía completa: no solo incluía mis actividades profesionales especializadas, sino que también la docencia y la participación en redes internacionales. Por ejemplo, participaba en el Convenio Andrés Bello, que unía a investigadores de universidades de varios países para reflexionar y actuar en temas de integración en Iberoamérica, y en la Red Puentes, que unía esfuerzos en torno a la transparencia de las inversiones de las empresas translatinas.\n\nPero el giro llegó al entender a fondo los megadesafíos globales de la corrupción. Nunca imaginé que mis estudios en economía serían tan solo el punto de partida de una ruta mucho más importante. Desde entonces, mi propósito ha sido volcar toda mi experiencia para fortalecer la lucha contra los flagelos que impiden la prosperidad global.\n\n## Innovando con presupuesto cero\n\nEl Basel Institute en Latinoamérica se caracteriza por su innovación orientada a resultados. Yo mismo soy testigo de cómo cada nueva habilidad encuentra un espacio de aplicación y permite realizar importantes aportes sin requerir de presupuesto adicional.\n\nPor ejemplo, mis maestrías en Innovación de Procesos y Control Gubernamental y en Gerencia Pública y Educación (Andragogía) han sido canalizadas para enriquecer diversas iniciativas:\n\n*   ayudando a gobiernos regionales a realizar cambios estructurales en plazos mucho menores al promedio;\n*   enriqueciendo la [Red de Expertos GFP](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fnews\u002Fswiss-support-public-finance-management-experts-network-peru) del país (iniciativa reconocida en la [Semana Nacional de Innovación de Perú](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fnews\u002Fperus-innovation-week-showcases-training-concept-our-public-finance-management-team)),\n*   reduciendo la deserción a la vez que aumentando el número de aprobados en nuestros cursos de Control Interno e Integridad, gracias a la implementación de \"coffee breaks virtuales\".\n\nDurante la pandemia, aprovechamos mi formación en educación para [potenciar una iniciativa de educación y entrenamiento](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-design-virtual-training-course-works-your-context-experiences-peru) que permitía llevar cursos y capacitaciones a todo el Perú a través de Facebook. En ese entonces, la red social no cobraba por el uso de datos móviles y permitía el acceso a todos los funcionarios públicos, incluso si solo tenían celulares de gama baja. Ahora, esos cursos se han integrado a [Basel LEARN](https:\u002F\u002Flearn.baselgovernance.org\u002F), la plataforma educativa del Basel Institute.\n\nEn conjunto, logramos implementar cursos que contaron con más de 6.000 alumnos durante cinco años, todo sin usar presupuesto adicional.\n\n## La importancia de las redes de contacto\n\nMi labor ha estado enfocada en asegurar la sostenibilidad de mejoras tangibles desarrolladas por los expertos del Programa GFP en temas tan variados como:\n\n*   la distribución de vacunas y materiales educativos a niños,\n*   la recaudación predial en ciudades principales,\n*   la restitución de fondos decomisados\n*   y la lucha contra la \"corrupción verde\".\n\nEn este contexto, lo más valioso es la red de trabajo. Actualmente, tengo más de 20 mil contactos en mi teléfono, todos profesionales relevantes directa o indirectamente en la actividad del Programa GFP, pero principalmente amigos comprometidos con el ideal de un Perú mejor.\n\nEsta gran red genera beneficios mutuos, ya que permite la difusión de buenas prácticas, reduce drásticamente los costos de preparación de eventos (tenemos muchos locales a costo cero) y asegura un impacto masivo.\n\nLos colegas dentro del mismo Basel Institute son también parte importante de esta red. Nuestra estrecha colaboración me ha llevado a participar en proyectos tan diferentes e interesantes como director y guionista en varios videos producidos por el programa, moderar eventos internacionales de recuperación de activos e intercambiar metodologías usadas en finanzas públicas para la recuperación y repatriación de activos.\n\n## La base que inspira y sostiene la esperanza\n\nEl contexto peruano presenta retos únicos. Hay una alta volatilidad política, evidenciada por el hecho de haber tenido ocho Presidentes en los últimos diez años, cuando en teoría elegimos uno cada cinco años. Esto hace que los entornos “VUCA” (volátiles, inciertos, complejos y ambiguos) y conceptos como “caos” cobren un sentido literal en nuestro día a día.\n\nNo obstante, existe un \"subsuelo\" de funcionarios y técnicos éticamente responsables que permite que el trabajo avance y que me inspira día a día.\n\nComo suelo decir en mis charlas: \"Los buenos somos más, pero hacemos menos bulla.\" Esta frase refleja la realidad: el esfuerzo visible de los peruanos honestos es una buena base que supera en valía a los casos de corrupción que nos golpean, aunque muchas veces la percepción nos diga lo contrario.\n\nEn suma, el privilegio de aproximarme al país y a sus desafíos, implementando temas que sé que aportan al fortalecimiento de la integridad pública y la lucha contra la corrupción, hace que agradezca la oportunidad:\n\nGracias, Basel Institute, gracias a su grandioso equipo en todo el mundo, por la oportunidad de seguir sirviendo al mundo y, especialmente, a mi país.\n\n## ¿Te gustó esta historia?\n\nSi también te interesa o apasiona dedicarte a la lucha contra la corrupción y el crimen financiero, te invitamos a revisar la oferta educativa del Basel Institute:\n\n*   [Basel LEARN](https:\u002F\u002Flearn.baselgovernance.org\u002F): nuestra plataforma de aprendizaje en línea, con cursos virtuales gratuitos y otros recursos\n*   [Basel STUDY](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fstudy): nuestros programas de postgrado en anti-corrupción y recuperación de activos, dictados en conjunto con la Universidad de Basilea",{"id":860,"status":125,"user_created":243,"date_created":861,"user_updated":465,"date_updated":862,"title":863,"type":735,"body":864,"image":876,"date":865,"topic":993,"slug":867,"activity":994,"nid":872,"topics":995,"activities":996,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":7,"translation_of":7,"language":363,"countries":997,"tags":998,"authors":999,"images":1000,"translations":1001,"content":1002,"translations_news":1003},[101],[869,870,871],[101,88],[869,870,871],[883],[891,892,893,894],[896],[],[],[],[18],{"id":1005,"status":125,"date_created":1006,"date_updated":1007,"title":1008,"type":664,"body":1009,"date":1010,"topic":1011,"slug":1012,"activity":1013,"nid":1015,"topics":1016,"activities":1017,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":1018,"language":7,"image":1019,"translation_of":7,"countries":1029,"tags":1051,"authors":1130,"images":1131,"translations":1132,"content":1133,"translations_news":1134},10529,"2025-01-28T17:01:48.000Z","2026-06-24T13:41:25.000Z","Peru’s Integrity Week celebrates transparency and good governance, including for the environment","While most of the world celebrates International Anti-Corruption Day on 9 December, Peru has kickstarted a new tradition: an entire week dedicated to integrity, transparency and anti-corruption events and celebrations.\n\nThe country celebrated its first [Semana de Integridad Pública](https:\u002F\u002Fsites.google.com\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fintegridad2024) – Public Integrity Week – last December, following the passing of a law that dedicates the second week of December each year to the occasion. The aim is to reinforce the country’s commitment to transparency and ethics in public administration.\n\nOur teams were closely involved in the various events that took place across the country.\n\n## Building integrity in public finance management\n\nMembers of our Subnational Public Finance Management programme or [Programa GFP Subnacional](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gfpsubnacional.pe\u002F2024\u002F12\u002F10\u002Fel-programa-gfp-subnacional-participa-en-la-semana-de-integridad-publica-con-una-serie-charlas-en-trujillo-lima-moyobamba-cusco-y-tarapoto\u002F) organised and participated in 14 events in nine different regions. In total, the events involved more than 2,000 individuals in person and a similar number online.\n\nTopics included ethical leadership, policies and strategies to mitigate risks and promote transparency in public administrations, and the role of asset forfeiture in fostering integrity and reducing impunity for corruption.\n\nThe discussions and workshops underscored the commitment of the Swiss-funded programme to:\n\n*   Strengthen capacities: Provide tools and practical knowledge to identify and manage the risks that affect public integrity.\n*   Promote multi-stakeholder dialogue: Encourage collaboration between different parties, including government, the private sector and civil society, to address ethical and transparency challenges together.\n*   Inspire action: Promote a culture of integrity and accountability as the basis for inclusive and sustainable development.\n\n## Green corruption high on the agenda\n\nOur [Green Corruption](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fgreen-corruption) prevention team, funded by the UK's Conflict, Stability and Security Fund, also participated in 18 separate events, reaching over 6,000 participants in person and more online.\n\nOur team drew attention to the fact that corruption is a key enabler of illegal trade in natural resources. Illegal logging in the Peruvian Amazon, illegal mining or wildlife trafficking pose serious threats to the country’s environment, people and economy. But these complex crimes can’t be addressed without an active focus on corruption prevention.\n\nThe prominence of this topic during Integrity Week is an important achievement. It reflects increased awareness and interest in green corruption among Peruvian authorities, specifically from the Ministries of the Environment and Agriculture, as well as the national [Secretariat for Public Integrity](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gob.pe\u002F7855-presidencia-del-consejo-de-ministros-secretaria-de-integridad-publica) that led the organisation of the events.\n\n## Learn more\n\n*   See

public finance management programme enters exciting new phase","We are delighted that our highly successful programme to strengthen public finance management at the regional and local levels in Peru is entering its third four-year phase.\n\nFunded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) since 2013, the [Programa GFP Subnacional](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gfpsubnacional.pe\u002F) aims to improve how public finances are managed and spent at the subnational level and to optimise the delivery of public services to Peruvian citizens.\n\n## Hands-on support, tangible impact\n\nOur office in Lima coordinates an ambitious programme of capacity building and technical assistance, including innovative training initiatives and mentoring by experts based in local and regional government offices.\n\nWith an additional USD 8 million in funding from 2024–2028, the programme will build on its previous achievements in strengthening capacity in relation to procurement, budgeting and risk management processes. These include:\n\n*   Increased efficiency in the programming and execution of public investments, particularly in education and healthcare infrastructure.\n*   Strengthened internal controls and financial management systems at regional and local levels.\n*   Successful implementation of property tax management reforms, significantly boosting local revenue collection.\n*   Notable progress in asset recovery through Peru’s non-conviction based forfeiture law, Extinción de dominio. Drawing on the Basel Institute’s asset recovery expertise, this effort has led to the recovery of millions of dollars in misappropriated public funds and is helping to reduce impunity for corruption.\n\nThe team has also helped to introduce innovative tools to increase efficiency and transparency in public administration – like WhatsApp chatbots for tax collection.\n\nThese [short testimonials](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fplaylist?list=PLYRnhpCcnLP_3bkP5LFPtKnbD0HV1M1vy) highlight some of the real impacts our team’s work has had for both the governments and the citizens they serve.\n\n## New biodiversity focus\n\nThe third phase of the programme will continue strengthening these areas, incorporating new strategies and adapting to changing circumstances.\n\nIt will also add a special focus on the monitoring and surveillance of regional conservation areas, including through the use of innovative technologies. This support will help subnational governments to preserve biodiversity and implement sustainable development strategies, aligning with Peru’s national environmental policies. This complements the work of the Basel Institute’s [Green Corruption programme](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fnews\u002Fimproving-public-integrity-peru-how-regional-governments-can-take-lead) in Peru and neighbouring countries that also enjoy rich biodiversity and are home to precious rainforest.\n\nIn addition, the programme specifically seeks to facilitate the implementation of recommendations for Peru to comply with OECD standards on public finance management at the subnational level.\n\n## Launch event\n\nAt the launch event at the Swiss Ambassador’s residence in Lima, high-level diplomats and subnational government leaders gathered to celebrate the programme’s successes so far.\n\nPaul Garnier, Swiss Ambassador to Peru, highlighted the significance of the ongoing collaboration, saying:\n\n> _“__It is very important to maintain a stable economic framework and solid and transparent institutions that generate confidence and allow for the further deepening of economic relations between Peru and Switzerland._ _It is also important to improve the provision of basic services such as health, education and sanitation._ _We hope that the new phase of the Subnational GFP Programme will contribute to sustainable growth and also to poverty reduction__.”_\n\nMassimo Bloch, Director of the Swiss Economic Cooperation - SECO commented:\n\n> “_This_ _third phase of the_ _Programa GFP Subnacional_ _has been designed taking into account the good practices learned, as well as the particular characteristics and needs of each regional or local government._ _On behalf of SECO…__we want to accompany the coordination, effectiveness and implementation of policies that_ _foster_ _sustainable growth and improve public services for citizens._ _Our commitment to Peru is long-term__.”_\n\nCarlos Vargas Mas, Programme Director, remarked:\n\n> _“Our work has proven that technical assistance, when combined with a commitment to transparency and good governance, can create lasting, meaningful improvements for millions of Peruvians. This new phase will further solidify these gains.”_\n\nAmong the distinguished guests at the event were the Director of the Swiss Economic Cooperation - SECO in Peru, Massimo Bloch, the Basel Institute on Governance’s Head of Latin America, Oscar Solórzano, a thematic coordinator of the Programme and former President of Peru’s Fiscal Council, Carlos Oliva, Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance Betty Sotelo, and the former Minister of Economy and Finance, Miguel Castilla.\n\n## Expanded beneficiaries, alignment with national policies\n\nThe regional government of Loreto and municipality of Maynas are set to join the programme’s 11 existing beneficiaries: the municipalities of Abancay, Cusco, Piura, San Martín (Tarapoto) and Trujillo, as well as the regional governments of Apurímac, Cusco, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Piura and San Martín.\n\nThe programme will also continue close coordination with relevant state institutions, including the [Public Integrity Secretariat](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fnews\u002Ffostering-peer-learning-and-innovation-public-integrity-peru), Ministry of Economy and other relevant Ministries such as health and education, government environmental agencies, prosecutors’ offices and the judiciary.\n\n## Learn more\n\n*   Download a flyer in [Spanish](http:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fsites\u002Fdefault\u002Ffiles\u002F2024-11\u002FProgramaGFP_ES.pdf) or [English](https:\u002F\u002Fbaselgovernance.org\u002Fsites\u002Fdefault\u002Ffiles\u002F2024-11\u002FProgramaGFP_EN.pdf).\n*   See SECO’s [information sheet](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cooperacionsuiza.pe\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2024\u002F10\u002FHoja-informativa-finanza-publicas-SECO-2024.pdf) on Switzerland’s commitment to helping Peru improve public finance management (in Spanish).\n*   Watch a short [video about the programme’s achievements](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=8TtfzpfugP4) in the second phase (in Spanish).\n*   Watch [testimonials from public officials](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fplaylist?list=PLYRnhpCcnLP_3bkP5LFPtKnbD0HV1M1vy) telling stories of how the programme has benefited them and the citizens they serve.\n*   View the [Programa GFP Subnacional website](http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gfpsubnacional.pe\u002F) and follow the programme on [LinkedIn](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fcompany\u002Fprograma-gfp-subnacional) and [Facebook](http:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002FGFPsubnacional\u002F).","2024-10-21",[101],"swiss-peruvian-public-finance-management-programme-enters-exciting-new-phase-2708",[1145,1146],"Anti-corruption interventions","Partnerships",2708,[101],[1145,1146],[670],{"id":1152,"storage":128,"filename_disk":1153,"filename_download":171,"title":1139,"type":172,"created_on":1154,"modified_on":1154,"charset":7,"filesize":1155,"width":1025,"height":1156,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":7,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":1157,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":1154},"f355701d-4d0b-4a0f-a1f3-686436118cb4","f355701d-4d0b-4a0f-a1f3-686436118cb4.webp","2025-05-12T21:10:14.000Z",74636,819,{},[1159],{"id":1160,"news_id":1161,"countries_id":1174},7091,{"id":1136,"status":125,"user_created":243,"date_created":1137,"user_updated":465,"date_updated":1138,"title":1139,"type":664,"body":1140,"image":1152,"date":1141,"topic":1162,"slug":1143,"activity":1163,"nid":1147,"topics":1164,"activities":1165,"programme":7,"area":7,"websites":1166,"translation_of":7,"language":7,"countries":1167,"tags":1168,"authors":1169,"images":1170,"translations":1171,"content":1172,"translations_news":1173},[101],[1145,1146],[101],[1145,1146],[670],[1160],[],[],[],[],[],[],{"id":258,"name":259,"code":260,"latitude":261,"longitude":262},[],[],[],[],[],[],{"Asset Recovery and Enforcement":1182,"Corruption Prevention and Public Governance":1183,"Business Integrity Ethics and Compliance":1184,"Green Corruption":1185,"Public Finance Management":1186,"Ukraine":1187},"\u002Fwork\u002Fenforcement","\u002Fwork\u002Fprevention","\u002Fwork\u002Fbusiness","\u002Fwork\u002Fprogrammes\u002Fgreen-corruption","\u002Fwork\u002Fprogrammes\u002Fpublic-finance-management","\u002Fwork\u002Fprogrammes\u002Fukraine",1788339310306]
