I. Introduction:
In order to relate Transparency in Budget management with citizen participation with the
variable Strategic planning with organizational learning for results-based management, it is
necessary that strategic planning, results-based management (RBM) and organizational learning
(OL) in public and educational institutions be directed towards promoting active and
transparent community participation in these processes.
One of the key concepts is transparency in public management, citizen participation and open
government, based on the contributions of various authors and international organizations. The
problematic reality is analyzed and alternative solutions are proposed, framed in the theories
and conclusions presented. The problematic reality is evident in:
Lack of transparency in public management, hindering access to information and social
control over government actions.
Low citizen participation in the design and implementation of public policies, limiting
the influence of citizens in decision-making.
Weak collaboration between the various social actors, hindering the co-creation of public
value and innovation. Generating a lack of transparency in public management:
o Difficulty accessing public information.
o Lack of effective communication from the government.
o Weak accountability of public officials.
Low citizen participation in public processes:
o Limited citizen participation in the development of public policies.
o Weak social control over government actions.
o Lack of effective mechanisms for citizen participation.
Weak collaboration between social actors:
o Distrust between the public sector, civil society and the private sector.
o Difficulty working together to solve social problems.
o Lack of mechanisms for intersectoral collaboration.
Strategies for directing strategic planning:
1. Clear and transparent communication: Managers must communicate the institution's
work objectives clearly and transparently to all members of the university community.
This involves sharing the institutional vision, mission and values, as well as the
established strategic goals.
2. Diagnosis and situational analysis: A thorough diagnosis and situational analysis is
necessary to identify the institution's methodological needs. These needs must be
reflected in the institution's problem bank, serving as a basis for the development of
action plans.
3. Collaborative teamwork: The development of the strategic projection must be a
participatory process that involves representatives from various sectors of the
university community, such as the board of directors, the year group, the academic
council, among others. Collaborative teamwork encourages the exchange of ideas,
consensual decision-making, and commitment to institutional objectives.

Role of Results-Based Management:
GpR plays a crucial role in the interface with strategic planning and OA by:
Focus on achieving results: RBM establishes clear and measurable performance
indicators to assess progress towards achieving strategic objectives.
Analysis of the summary report of the year of instruction: This analysis allows us to
identify processes with greater difficulty and take appropriate corrective measures.
Raising the quality of institutional management: GpR promotes continuous
improvement of processes and efficiency in the use of resources.
Evaluation and monitoring of strategic planning: GpR allows the initial result to be
compared with the result obtained, facilitating the evaluation and adjustment of strategic
planning.
It is necessary that there is an effective interrelation between strategic planning, RBM and OA,
which is essential for achieving its objectives and comprehensive institutional development.
Managers must promote a participatory and collaborative environment that fosters
organizational learning and informed strategic decision-making.
Some definitions
Results-based Management (RBM):
Definition: GpR is a management model that focuses on obtaining predefined results,
through the planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of institutional activities
(Fernández and Rubio, 2020).
Benefits:
o It raises the quality of institutional management.
o Monitor and evaluate the improvement of strategic planning.
o It allows the comparison of the initial result with the one obtained.
Application:
o Study and analysis of the summary report of the year of instruction.
o Institutional self-assessment in three- or five-year periods.
o Detection of weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities.
Organizational Learning (OL):
Definition: OA is the process by which HEIs acquire and use knowledge to improve their
performance and adapt to changes in the environment (Megret and Galarza, 2018).
Characteristics:
o It is associated with the change in institutional behavior and the creation of a
knowledge base.
o It occurs due to the university community's ability to respond to changes in the
environment.
o Allows modification of existing strategies and rules.
o It requires proper use of human talent skills.
o It involves creating a work environment that encourages learning.
o Manages the tacit and explicit knowledge of the institution.

o It is associated with institutional culture.
o It is an indispensable basis for improvement in an organization.
o It is managed from the base in the self-assessment processes.
Relationship between GpR and AO:
GpR and AO are synergistic processes that complement each other.
GpR provides a framework for planning and evaluating organizational learning.
The AO allows HEIs to learn from their experiences and continuously improve their
results.
Transparency in Public Management:
Definition: Transparency in public management is defined as the fundamental principle
that requires the openness of the State to public scrutiny, effective communication and
accountability. It implies that government actions must be accessible, understandable
and subject to citizen review (Gasco-Hernández, 2023)
Characteristics:
o Access to information: Public information must be accessible to citizens in a
timely, complete, reliable and free manner.
o Effective communication: The government must communicate its decisions,
plans and actions in a clear, precise and understandable manner for citizens.
o Accountability: Public officials must answer for their actions before citizens and
oversight institutions.
Citizen Participation:
Definition: Citizen participation is defined as the fundamental right that allows citizens
to actively engage in public decision-making processes and exercise social control over
government actions. It involves the possibility of participating in the development,
implementation and evaluation of public policies (Gasco-Hernández, 2023).
Ways to participate:
o Public consultation: Mechanism through which the government seeks to gather
opinions and suggestions from citizens on a specific topic.
o Citizen hearing: Space for dialogue between the government and citizens to
discuss and debate a topic of public interest.
o Participatory budgeting: Process by which citizens participate in the
preparation and allocation of the public budget.
Open Government:
Definition: Open government is defined as a public management model that seeks to
improve transparency, citizen participation and collaboration to strengthen democracy
and collective well-being. It implies a paradigm shift in the way of governing, moving
from a closed and exclusive model to an open, transparent and inclusive one (Gasco-
Hernández, 2023).
Pillars of open government:
o Transparency: Access to public information and effective communication.

o Citizen participation: Active participation of citizens in decision-making.
Collaboration: Joint work between the public sector, civil society and the private sector
through an Open Government, which is a public management model that seeks to
improve transparency, citizen participation and collaboration to strengthen democracy
and collective well-being (Gasco-Hernández, 2023).
Transparency: A fundamental principle of public management that requires the
opening of the State to public scrutiny, effective communication and accountability
(Gasco-Hernández, 2023)
Citizen Participation: A fundamental right that allows citizens to actively involve
themselves in public decision-making processes and exercise social control over
government actions.
Transparency in Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting (PP) is a paradigmatic example of democratic innovation in transparent
public management. Its implementation seeks to increase citizen participation in decision-
making processes, strengthening the deliberative component of democracy.
Democratic Innovation Approach:
Democratic innovation is defined as the set of "new formal and informal dynamics" implemented
after a democratization process, with the aim of expanding citizen participation and influencing
political decisions (Hernández Trejo, 2022).
Characteristics of Democratic Innovation:
Formal and informal mechanisms: Democratic innovation can manifest itself through
institutionalized (formal) or non-institutionalized (informal) mechanisms, depending on
its origin and operation, and the political will for its implementation (Hernández Trejo,
2022).
Emphasis on deliberation: Democratic innovation promotes citizen deliberation,
where information, association, discussion and direct involvement of citizens are
fundamental pillars in decision-making (Gurza Lavalle & Isunza Vera, 2010).
Participatory Budgeting as an Instrument of Democratic Innovation:
The PP becomes a key instrument for democratic innovation in transparent public management,
by:
Promote citizen participation: Allows citizens to influence the allocation of public
resources, prioritizing projects of community interest.
Strengthen transparency: Provides greater transparency in the management of the
public budget, by allowing citizen access and oversight over resources.
Promote accountability: Forces public officials to be accountable for the use of
allocated resources, improving governance.
Enrich decision-making: Incorporate the citizen perspective into decision-making,
leading to more effective and fair public policies.

II. Methodology
This research is of a descriptive correlational type and was developed with workers of a Peruvian
municipality, considering the opinion and completion of questionnaires of both appointed and
contracted personnel who were willing to answer the questionnaires.
Approach This research was developed with a quantitative approach. Non-experimental, cross-
sectional design
Sample The sample for the present study consisted of 82 workers from a municipality who have
completed higher education or university studies, selected by convenience, that is, with non-
probabilistic sampling, surveyed during the year 2023
Null hypothesis: There is no significant relationship between Budget Management
Transparency (BMT) with citizen participation and strategic planning with organizational
learning (OL) during the year 2023
Alternative hypothesis: There is a significant relationship between transparency in the GdP
with citizen participation and strategic planning with AO during the year 2023
III. Results
The inferential results are shown, displayed with the Spearman Rho statistic, as they are
categorical variables, measured with the non-parametric statistic. The results will be obtained by
testing the null hypothesis; for a significance of 0.005
Hypothesis: There is no significant relationship between Budget Management Transparency
(GdP) with PC and strategic planning with organizational learning (AO) during the year 2023

The result of the Spearman Rho correlation coefficient is 0.760, indicating that there is an
intermediate positive relationship between the variables, with a bilateral significance level of
p=0.005<0.05 (highly significant). The null hypothesis is rejected and the general hypothesis is
accepted; showing that: There is a high significant relationship between Transparency in Budget
Management (GdP) with citizen participation and strategic planning with organizational learning
(AO) during the year 2023
That is to say, by increasing Transparency in Budget Management (GdP) with PC, strategic
planning with organizational learning (AO) increased considerably during the year 2023; in a
municipality, according to the workers of said institution; for whom the concepts and the items
answered were relevant and correlated, because some workers are pursuing postgraduate studies
in public management; who comment to their coworkers about the significance of these variables

and the respective link between them, in this sense, these students are influential in the other
workers.
IV. Discussion
The application of the questionnaires generated interest in workers in valuable concepts for
public management such as : Budget (GdP), organizational learning (AO) among others, as they
are essential tools for the continuous improvement of the Institutions.
Effective implementation of GpR and AO requires institutional commitment and the
participation of all members of the university community.
HEIs that foster R&D and OA are better positioned to achieve their strategic objectives
and fulfill their social mission.
Furthermore, performance-based budgeting (PP), as an instrument of democratic innovation in
transparent public management, contributes to the construction of a more participatory, fair and
equitable society, where citizens play an active role in decision-making and control of public
spending.
Recommendations:
Implement open government strategies that promote transparency, citizen participation
and collaboration.
Strengthen mechanisms for access to public information, ensuring its availability,
accessibility and quality.
Promote citizen participation in public decision-making processes through mechanisms
such as public consultations, citizen hearings and participatory budgets.
Promote collaboration between the public sector, civil society and the private sector for
the co-creation of innovative solutions to social problems.
In other words: Transparency in public management, citizen participation and open government
are fundamental pillars for strengthening democracy, good governance and sustainable
development. The implementation of strategies that promote these principles is essential for
building more just, equitable and prosperous societies.
Implement open government strategies:
o Design and implement an open government strategy that includes specific action
plans to improve transparency, citizen participation and collaboration.
o Create a unit or entity specialized in the implementation of the open government
strategy.
o Train public officials in the principles and practices of open government.
Strengthen mechanisms for access to public information:
o Expand access to public information
V. Conclusions
It is concluded that: There was a high significant relationship between Transparency in Budget
Management (GdP) with citizen participation; with strategic planning with organizational
learning (AO) during the year 2023
