In line with the Minister of Planning, Miriam Belchior, the PAC would facilitate the adoption of an innovative method in monitoring public management, since it favors the culture of prioritization, responsibility and transparency in information (through quarterly Balances). In addition, monitoring offices will be established, permanent and collegiate offices to monitor the entire cycle of ventures and that also identify difficulties and propose solutions to overcome them, in addition to effectively accompanying the physical goals.

There was also improvement in processes due to:

• - PAC works gained mandatory transfer status;

• - Reduction in disbursement time for payment of sanitation and housing works by cash;

• - Environmental Licensing - simplification of procedures;

• - Monitoring together with the TCU;

• - AGU Special Group;

• - Improvement in the quality of public spending; and.

• - Appraisal of the modalities of concessions and contracting.

After the creation of the PAC, the government realized the need to have human resources in the Ministries related to infrastructure to subsidize the formulation of public policies, plan, coordinate, supervise and offer technical assistance in the execution of projects related to the execution of large infrastructure works. To replace such deficiency, the government decreed Provisional Measure – MP 389/2007, converted into law No. 11,539/2007, which created the career of Infrastructure Analyst and the position of Senior Infrastructure Specialist.

PAC das Crianças

On October 11, 2007, on the eve of Children's Day, the "PAC das crianças" or "Children's PAC" was launched, a subprogram of the PAC that constitutes a package to confront violence against children and adolescents, foreseeing expenses of R$ 2.9 billion until 2010, which will come from 14 ministries and state companies.

The "Children's PAC" includes projects for admitted adolescents that will consume R$ 534 million between 2008 and 2010. According to the National Secretariat of Human Rights, between 1996 and 2006 the number of adolescents admitted for the practice of violence almost quadrupled. The package foresees expenses of R$ 199 million in the reform and construction of 49 institutional units and foresees the creation of financing for municipalities with more than 50 thousand inhabitants to implement socio-educational measures by allowing inmates to provide services to the community.

The "Children's PAC", through the Ministry of Sports, will allocate R$ 37.6 million for the construction of sports blocks in inpatient units—they will still have libraries, workshops and outpatient clinics.

An incentive was created, which provides R$ 1,500, in a single payment, to families that take back children brought into shelters due to poverty, starting in 2008, and another that transfers young people over 18 years of age from shelters to collective housing by offering them loans in state banks; and the last one distributes R$ 70 million to 445 municipalities for shelter reform.

A budget of R$ 1.4 billion will be allocated to help children and adolescents who suffer violence and to create, until 2009, a national adoption registry.

PAC Historical Cities

The Program to Accelerate the Growth of Historic Cities was launched in 2009, in collaboration with the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN). This special PAC line was offered to 173 historic cities (tombadas) or in the process of being named.

Until April 2011, R$ 133.1 million were invested in preservation actions, which included revitalization of squares, restoration of monuments and burying electrical wiring.

PAC 2 was launched on March 29, 2010 which provides resources of the order of R$ 1.59 trilhão in a series of segments, such as transportation, energy, culture, environment, health, social area and housing. There are 6 investment areas of PAC 2: Better City, Citizen Community, My House, My Life, Water and Light for All (expansion of Light for All), Transportation and Energy.

• - Better City PAC: Face the main challenges of large urban centers to improve people's quality of life.

• Urban Mobility PAC (or Cup PAC): PAC 2 - Large Cities Mobility and PAC 2 - Medium Cities Mobility.

• - PAC Citizen Community: Increase the offer of basic services to the population of popular neighborhoods and guarantee the presence of the State.

• PAC Historical Cities

• CEUs - Unified Arts and Sports Centers.

• - PAC My House, My Life: Reduce the housing deficit, boost the civil construction sector and generate work and income.

• - PAC Water and Light for All: Universalize access to water and electricity in the country.

• - PAC Transportation: Consolidate and expand the logistics network, interlinking various modalities (road, rail and waterway) to guarantee quality and safety.

• PAC 2 Equipment, which is, in summary, the donation of machines to municipal governments to open and improve roads.

• - PAC Energy: Guarantee security of supply from an energy matrix based on renewable and clean sources. Develop discoveries in the Pre-Salt, expanding oil production in the country.

En 7 de mayo de 2007 fue publicado por el comité gestor del PAC el primer Balance del PAC, referente al período de enero a abril de 2007, un estudio detallado de sus proyectos en marcha.

En 20 de septiembre de 2007 el comité gestor presentó el Segundo Balance del PAC, notando que el programa ganó velocidad e inversiones que ya tienen reflejos en las previsiones del PIB, pero aún es preciso acelerar la conversión de gran parte de los recursos aún no gastos de 2007 en obras reales. Conforme el balance, en abril el PAC tenía 1 646 acciones registradas y pasó a 2014 entre mayo y agosto. En 31 de agosto de 2007, 60% de esas acciones estaban en el estágio de obra y 40% en la fase de licenciamento, licitación o proyecto, indicando que el PAC presentaba rendimiento satisfactorio del 94,1% del valor invertido y del 90,3% en acciones.

Destination of money

In line with the balance disclosed by the civil service in June 2009, the PAC completed 15.1% of the programmed total.

El PAC es blanco de las incontables controversias, denuncias e irregularidades. Entre ellas están:.

Union Court of Accounts

In 2009, the Union Court of Accounts pointed out irregularities in 30 of the 99 PAC works audited, of which the suspension of 13 was recommended. The federal government, concerned with the possibility of not being able to advertise the PAC, sent lawyers to accompany the processes with the aim of defending the execution of the works.

Electoral use

The PAC is criticized for having been created for electoral purposes, uniting all common and mandatory expenditures and investments of the federal government under a propaganda nomenclature, to facilitate disclosure. At the same time, the government pre-candidate for the presidency, Dilma Rousseff, Minister-Chief of the Civil House, would have her name associated with him. A request was formalized for the Superior Electoral Court to filter whether the behavior of the president, and the pre-candidate, when reviewing works in person, would characterize an early electoral campaign. Politicians and the president of the STF, Gilmar Mendes, accuse Lula of using construction inaugurations as a way to promote the PT candidate.

Another criticism is due to the fact that the capitals governed by PT allies are the ones that receive the most resources from the PAC.

Federal government decrees

Some PAC works were carried out under decree, in order to circumvent electoral legislation that prohibits the transfer of federal resources for new works in the three months preceding the election of mayors. The electoral legislation also prohibits the use of the government machine to carry out what was considered, according to Minister Gilmar Mendes and other critics, an early electoral campaign by Dilma, accompanied by Lula at all the inaugurations of the aforementioned program.

According to the NGO Contas Abertas, until the end of 2009, only 9.8% of the PAC works were completed and 62% did not come off paper.
