Tacsir, Ezequiel, Diego Aboal, Paola Cazulo & Pablo Angelelli, Jul 2016, Evaluación de corto plazo del Programa Nacional de Incentivo a los Investigadores (PRONII) de Paraguay, El presente artículo presenta los resultados de una evaluación de impacto de muy corto plazo del Programa Nacional de Incentivo a los Investigadores (PRONII) de Paraguay en su edición 2011. Para dicho objetivo, se emplean técnicas cualitativas, las que se complementan con el reporte de resultados a partir de técnicas cuantitativas estándares, que fueron analizados en más detalle en otro documento. El análisis cualitativo destaca el hecho de que los investigadores consideran que hay una mayor producción académica luego de la implementación del programa, asociada a la posibilidad de dedicar más tiempo a la investigación. Los entrevistados concuerdan con que el PRONII estaría permitiendo generar bases para hacer investigación de mejor calidad, y permitir el desarrollo y consolidación de líneas de investigación. Por otra parte señalan que la formalización de la carrera de investigador mediante el establecimiento de un sistema de jerarquías objetivamente ordenado en relación a la producción científica, ha generado un mayor reconocimiento social a la tarea. En el debe se apunta que el mecanismo de evaluación y los criterios utilizados por el PRONII aún no han permeado lo suficiente en los sistemas de evaluación y promoción de investigadores de las universidades. El análisis de impacto cuantitativo identifica un mayor impacto positivo del sistema sobre los investigadores Nivel I. Para los demás niveles, los impactos positivos son muy puntuales, esto en parte se puede deber al corto plazo transcurrido desde el comienzo del programa. - See more at: https://publications.iadb.org/handle/11319/7755#sthash.GGNHDT3u.0HJZnlAo.dpuf, More information

Merkle, Ortrun & Diego Salama (eds.), Mar 2016, Challenges to Peacekeeping in the 21st Century, UNU-MERIT Blog Series, Peacekeeping is one of the cornerstones of the United Nations and was, is and will be an essential tool for creating lasting peace in war-torn societies. The international system has changed in many ways since the first deployment of peacekeepers in 1948; new actors and challenges have emerged and mandates have evolved. The 21st Century brings enormous challenges to the international community’s peace and security – and peacekeeping will have to address many of these challenges. This series, culminating on International Day of UN Peacekeepers, 29 May, will bring innovative analysis and offer solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing peacekeeping today, More information
