Speaking at the 11th Meeting of the Advisory Council of the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas, the minister underscored that the real challenge of public governance lies in the implementation, rigorous monitoring and ability to correct flaws found in the projects.

Azevedo spoke of the need to evolve towards a better model that allows, in a few minutes, to understand what “is being executed well, what is at risk and where urgent intervention is needed at the highest level,” emphasizing that projects fail more often due to a lack of monitoring, coordination, and accountability.
