Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) 2022-2026

Abstract

The Institutional Development Plan is a State instrument for strategic planning, an institutional document that aims to present the organizational structure with a focus on values, mission, objectives, strategies, goals, and actions, seeking to define more precisely the performance of the State University of Piauí - a multi-campus institution - as well as describe the capacity to respond to external needs. In doing so, the PDI presents itself as an instrument aimed at reflecting and changing those conditions that are not satisfactory and strengthening those already consolidated, so that it is possible to face the challenges of higher education in the State and advance even further in the University's development actions, articulating with social and governmental bodies by allowing the institution to present adequate responses to the demands of the academic community.

This PDI was designed after a series of meetings held according to a previously defined and constructed calendar, together with the bodies involved; and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they took place remotely. The meetings had the participation and involvement of all UESPI Campuses. The debates discussed the methodology and system for collecting information, as well as the premises that guide the implementation and realization of the community's desires, based on the present and looking to the future.

The first premise corresponds to the need to develop systematic mechanisms for evaluating results, in order to confirm, throughout its implementation, the adequacy of its foundations and objectives, as well as the technical correctness of its programs, projects and actions.

The second premise is the concern to adopt measures to make viable and install mechanisms for implementation, which should be continually tested, considering their logic and results, which should be pursued through integrated action with the Government and each unit that makes up the University.

The third premise concerns the fact that the adoption of high levels of governance, transparency and accountability is essential for the adequate evaluation by society of the actions carried out by each of the agents participating in this HEI. Thus, the UESPI Institutional Development Plan, valid from 2022 to 2026, aims to integrate all levels in order to achieve its legitimate aspirations.

We also emphasize the fact that PLANNING is a dynamic act in management and the more people take ownership and incorporate the construction process, the better the monitoring, execution and evaluation mechanisms will be.

The UESPI Central Committee for the Development of the PDI has representatives from the Pro-Rectorates, special advisors to the Rectorate, Local Committees, structured in each UESPI Campus and Center, representatives of faculty, students, administrative technicians and organized civil society.

The following Committees were created to conduct this work:

Central Committee for the Development of the PDI of UESPI; Local Committee of the Campuses of Parnaíba, Piripiri, Campo Maior, Clóvis Moura, Torquato Neto, Oeiras, Floriano, Picos, Uruçuí, Bom Jesus, São Raimundo Nonato and Corrente. The importance of this strategic planning instrument, the result of a participatory and harmonious construction process, lies in the economic context (social, geographic and political), but with problems in its execution due to the existing difficulties.

Therefore, mobilization, organization, studies and reflections were necessary. We counted on the participation of the local committees to fill out the forms with suggestions, highlighting the experiences of each of the campuses and center. For this reason, the process of preparing the PDI had the following stages: PDI accountability, 2017-2021; beginning of the work with the local committees discussing the concepts, construction bases, guidelines and tools necessary for preparing the PDI; interaction with the local committees, so that they could express their perceptions, opinions, suggestions about the preparation process as well as suggestions for the composition of the document. After analysis, systematization and consolidation of the suggestions and proposals, the document was finalized and submitted for consideration by the UESPI University Council and the FUESPI Board of Directors.
