Abstract

This article shows how structural rigidities of public spending in different institutional situations have created a hostile environment in the market of evaluation of results. For this reason it is necessary to find a legal framework that encourages the process of evaluation. The key for the development of evaluation capacity lies in demand incentives that link evaluation results with budget planning. The essence of the evaluation process is therefore compiling and ordering information necessary for decision makers. Thus, evaluation of results and self-evaluation are indispensable for the modernization of the State in Latin America.
