Abstract: Given the modernization of public administration strategies and the heightened emphasis on transparency and accountability in Mexico, systems of control have become necessary tools used to evaluate policies designed to stimulate and facilitate the participation of community-based actors in the process of decision making. Such systems, based on indicators, generate information that allows administrators to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness, as well as the limitations, of participatory management. In this article, we present the results of a study designed to identify user perception of Baja California’s system of participatory management provided through the state Planning Committee for Development. Based on the results and analysis of focus group sessions and questionnaires, we determine that the current process of participatory democratic decision making is ineffective and inefficient. In order to redress the problems, we propose a new system of indicators, which incorporates impact, management, and output factors, to formulate and evaluate participatory management policies.
