| Summary: |
The evaluation of public programmes and policies
is currently considered not only an essential
technical tool, but also a strategic element for good
governance. However, excessive theorisation and
various difficulties of a practical and
methodological, if not political, nature sometimes
hinder its effective use.
In the Spanish case, moreover, the absence of an
effective institutional model makes it difficult to
channel the potential of accumulated experience
and capacities, making it necessary to establish a
legal and administrative framework that gives it
coherence and operability. The announcement of a
draft Law on the evaluation of public policies on
public policy evaluation raises expectations about
the possibility of adopting a new suitable public
institutional architecture.
External Control Institutions must also participate
in this process, given their role in analysing the
effectiveness, efficiency and results of public plans,
programmes and policies, and their experience in
conducting performance audits. Evaluation and
performance auditing can form part, from a
cross-cutting and complementary vision, of the
same evaluation ecosystem, in which both share
knowledge, approaches and tools. In any case, there
is no doubt that evaluation allows for a more
comprehensive perspective, and that the
incorporation of some of its elements into the
performance auditing would facilitate an
evaluative approach, within the ex-post analyses
carried out by the external control institutions. |
