Abstract

This article examines the development of the managerial function in the Peruvian Public Administration. The case of managers under the 2013 Civil Service Act is analyzed, along with the types of public managers established by the Act, and the different modalities established for access to the posts. In second place, the article focuses on the Cuerpo de Gerentes Públicos (Public Managers Cadre). Specifically, it goes through the processes that make up its management model and the competency profiles designed by SERVIR (the agency in charge of the Cuerpo). Subsequently the results in the implementation of this Civil Service are described. Finally, the main strengths and areas of opportunity for the development of the Cuerpo de Gerentes Públicos are identified.
