Abstract

Currently, the financing of social projects through National Interest Programs (NIPs), based on Government Decisions (GDs), may lead to an inequitable distribution of resources, overlooking the specific needs of vulnerable groups in certain regions. This issue significantly impedes the sustainable development of disadvantaged areas.

Decentralizing the contracting, approval, and financing process of NIPs at the regional level holds significant potential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of social programs. This decentralization process would allow for the adaptation of programs to the unique needs of each region, potentially leading to more efficient resource use and greater impact on disadvantaged groups.

In-depth research on this topic could greatly enrich the existing knowledge in the field of social policy and regional development. Analyzing the effects of NIP decentralization could yield valuable insights for social sector practitioners and policymakers.

The successful decentralization of NIPs could positively influence regional economic indicators, such as employment rates, poverty levels, and overall population well-being. By catering to the specific needs of vulnerable groups, better tailored social programs could enhance social inclusion and boost local economic growth.

Furthermore, it is important to note that regional bodies effectively contribute to local progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
