| description | This study analyzes factors that allow local officials to overcome design distortions generated during the process of registering beneficiaries of the «Vaso de Leche» Program in a context in which these beneficiaries are powerful social actors who have a capacity for collective action. This study was conducted between 2002 and 2010 in Villa El Salvador, a district of metropolitan Lima. Villa El Salvador municipal authorities selected beneficiaries without considering the target population as established by the official regulations. This variation from established norms is understood in this study as a «design distortion». Starting in 2004, this distortion was reduced with the introduction of a registry for the program that did follow official norms. In the literature, control mechanisms are highlighted as a key strategy for correcting design distortions. This study suggests an alternative focus: change also depends on the decisions of local officials to establish alliances with program target groups and concludes that such decisions are fundamental to understand the program implementation in contentious settings. |

This study was conducted between 2002 and 2010 in Villa El Salvador, a district of metropolitan Lima. Villa El Salvador municipal authorities selected beneficiaries without considering the target population as established by the official regulations. This variation from established norms is understood in this study as a «design distortion». Starting in 2004, this distortion was reduced with the introduction of a registry for the program that did follow official norms. In the literature, control mechanisms are highlighted as a key strategy for correcting design distortions. This study suggests an alternative focus: change also depends on the decisions of local officials to establish alliances with program target groups and concludes that such decisions are fundamental to understand the program implementation in contentious settings. En este estudio se analizan los factores que permiten superar las distorsiones en la implementación del registro de beneficiarios del Programa del Vaso de Leche en escenarios donde los receptores de alimentos son actores sociales poderosos y con capacidad de acción colectiva. Para ello, se escogió el caso del distrito limeño de Villa El Salvador entre 2002 y 2010. En este distrito los funcionarios municipales seleccionaban a los beneficiarios sin considerar a la población objetivo, como establece el diseño oficial del programa. Sin embargo, a partir de 2004, se efectuaron cambios que mejoraron el procedimiento, implementando empadronamientos en concordancia con las normas. Aunque la literatura resalta los mecanismos de control como una de las claves para corregir las distorsiones del diseño, el artículo sugiere un enfoque alternativo: el cambio depende además de las estrategias de los funcionarios locales para pactar alianzas con los beneficiarios del programa, dado que las decisiones políticas que toman son fundamentales para comprender los problemas de su implementación en situaciones contenciosas. 2014-06-27 2022-03-17T18:48:13Z 2022-03-17T18:48:13Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/702 10.21678/apuntes.74.702 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53033 spa eng https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/702/716 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/702/717 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes application/pdf application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
