Through a qualitative studyinvolving interviews and document review, limitations were identified infive key organizational capacities: governance, processes, organizationalculture, human resources, and technology. The findings revealed the absenceof performance metrics, standardized procedures, leadership, andintegrated technological platforms, which hinders efficient managementaligned with institutional objectives.
