#SDGAction53370
Description
In this framework, the objective of PENCYT 2019 – 2024 is to contribute to the transformation of Panama through a set of actions aimed at creating and implementing a culture based on knowledge, thus integrating the country into the knowledge economy. This PENCYT objective is aligned and contributes directly to achieving those objectives established in the Government Strategic Plan
El PENCYT será ejecutado a través de tres grandes programas principales: • CTI y recursos humanos avanzados, atendiendo la “estrella” del PEG de educación • Sectorial, atendiendo las prioridades del PEG en el pilar del desarrollo de una economía competitiva, el pilar de combate a la pobreza y la desigualdad, y el pilar de estado de derecho. • Transversal, que contribuye a fortalecer las articulaciones al interno del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación, y contribuye a su vez al desarrollo del pilar del PEG de buen gobierno fortaleciendo la institucionalidad de la CTI en Panamá.
a) Support for university transformation as a cornerstone to take a leap in quality in terms of high-level human resources that brings the country closer to a knowledge economy. b) Transfer of technology and knowledge, through linkage agreements between universities, national and multinational companies and government, in order to develop the main social and economic pillars of the country. c) Joint development of research and innovation agendas by sector to generate a framework of priorities by sector
Los mecanismos de coordinación se establecen para fortalecer la gobernanza del Sistema Nacional de CTI, a través del CICYT y una mayor articulación entre instituciones, ministerios y la SENACYT, en el cual el ejecutivo ejerce el liderazgo en consonancia para la transformación productiva y social del país. Con estos mecanismos se avanzan en la coordinación y complementariedad entre instrumentos de política que apuntan a los diferentes objetivos, científicos, académicos, de innovación y emprendimiento entre otros.
El monitoreo y la evaluación son componentes esenciales en la ejecución del PENCYT 2019 – 2024. El monitoreo es el proceso sistemático de recolectar, analizar y utilizar información para hacer el seguimiento al progreso del Plan, en favor de la consecución de sus objetivos, y para guiar las decisiones de gestión. La evaluación es una apreciación sistemática del PENCYT, que se concentra en los logros esperados y alcanzados, examinando la cadena de resultados. La evaluación es un proceso continuo que no solamente sirve para verificar el uso adecuado de los recursos asignados a cada actividad de CTI, sino principalmente como insumo a un proceso de aprendizaje que permita la adecuada toma de decisiones para perfeccionar la política. Una evaluación de esta naturaleza se basa en el entendido que el objetivo de la política es de fortalecer el SNCTI para que este sea capaz de enfrentar los desafíos de desarrollo económicos y sociales de Panamá. Este último propósito constituye el foco de la evaluación. Dada su importancia, establece que se deberá implementar un esquema de monitoreo y evaluación autónomo (un Sistema de Monitoreo & Evaluación) cuya primera tarea será precisamente desarrollar los indicadores de evaluación de la política. El Sistema de Monitoreo y Evaluación deberá también estar en capacidad de medir el avance y la calidad de los programas sectoriales y transversales del PENCYT, el que tendrá dos evaluaciones externas: una intermedia a finales del 2021 y una final a finales del 2023 para ser concluida en el primer semestre del 2024. Los indicadores estratégicos para la medición de la implementación de este Plan se irán desarrollando en concordancia con el avance del mismo acorde con los recursos financieros que sean puestos a disposición del SNCTI.

Buena parte de la demanda de las convocatorias emblemáticas de SENACYT se concentra en la capital del país. Este patrón es consistente con la distribución más general de los recursos y, en particular, con la centralización de las capacidades de CTI. Comenzar a corregir esta dinámica requiere esfuerzos explícitos y coordinados en todos los niveles. Requiere también apelar y convocar al sector educativo primario y secundario, al científico-académico, al sector empresarial —a través de agremiaciones y asociaciones locales, regionales y nacionales, concertando esfuerzos y diseñando instrumentos que busquen alterar algunas de estas inequidades tan consolidadas.
