Resumen El fortalecimiento de la gestión municipal constituye un eje central para mejorar la provisión de servicios públicos y promover el desarrollo local, siendo el Programa de Incentivos a la Mejora de la Gestión Municipal (PI) una de las principales herramientas de política pública en este ámbito. El objetivo general de la investigación consistió en analizar el impacto del PI en el desempeño de una municipalidad tipo A, caracterizada por un mayor tamaño poblacional, una mayor capacidad administrativa y una mayor complejidad institucional. La metodología empleada fue de enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental y un nivel descriptivo-explicativo, utilizando información secundaria proveniente de reportes institucionales y bases de datos oficiales, así como indicadores de cumplimiento de metas del programa. Los resultados evidencian que la implementación del PI contribuyó de manera significativa a mejorar los procesos de gestión, especialmente en áreas vinculadas con la planificación, la ejecución presupuestal y la prestación de servicios municipales, aunque se identificaron brechas asociadas con la sostenibilidad de los logros y la capacidad técnica del personal. En conclusión, el PI representa un mecanismo efectivo para fortalecer la gestión municipal en municipalidades tipo A, siempre que se acompañe de estrategias complementarias de fortalecimiento institucional.
Abstract Strengthening municipal management is central to improving public service delivery and promoting local development, with the Municipal Management Improvement Incentive Program (PI) being one of the main public policy tools in this area. The overall objective of the research was to analyze the impact of the PI on the performance of a type A municipality, characterized by a larger population, greater administrative capacity, and greater institutional complexity. The methodology used was quantitative, with a non-experimental design and a descriptive-explanatory level, using secondary information from institutional reports and official databases, as well as indicators of program goal achievement. The results show that the implementation of the PI contributed significantly to improving management processes, especially in areas related to planning, budget execution, and the provision of municipal services, although gaps were identified in relation to the sustainability of achievements and the technical capacity of staff. In conclusion, the IP represents an effective mechanism for strengthening municipal management in Type A municipalities, provided that it is accompanied by complementary institutional strengthening strategies.
