Accountability and Transparency in the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Brazil: Contributions from the Federal Court of Accounts
Abstract
By revisiting the constitutional precepts of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, we note an infra-constitutional normative gap and reduced government definitions about the long-term goals and strategies that could summarize a path for social and economic development, reflecting convictions and long lasting social and political
pacts – a role which is not and cannot be executed by the pluriannual plans.
