Peru decentralization and territorial development challenges

Overview

In Peru, experts and analysts have raised concerns regarding the long-term effectiveness of the country’s decentralization process. After more than twenty years, critics argue that structural reforms have focused excessively on administrative procedures and budget execution rather than meaningful territorial management or the quality of public services.

This approach has reportedly widened the gap between the capital and provincial regions. Challenges include a lack of state presence in many areas and a high dependency on mining canon resources, which are concentrated in limited regions and fail to support food security or strategic development. Furthermore, economists note that while public investment has been decentralized, subnational governments often lack the technical institutional capacity required for effective execution.
