Summary: Public policies are currently living major changes. The rapid evolution of social and economic systems, along with the emergence of increasingly actors and interests (WTO, EU, national, regional and local citizens, and so on.), Make public policies represent a system today highly complex. In the midst of this system and in view of the interests of civil society, a growing need to monitor and justify public spending, to identify concrete results of policies, check the cost of relations programs, and determine whether the effects the policies relate to the objectives originally envisaged. There is also the desire for continuous learning from past mistakes, the âexperienciaâ and improve future programs and public policies for the good of society. All these interests are trying to meet through evaluation, a systematic process of observation, analysis and valuation of conception, design, implementation and effects of public interventions. Considering then that the evaluation is crucial to the new style of governance, especially as a learning tool in the design and implementation of public policies, the introduction of this new perspective requires, and leads at the same time, systems development evaluation at the departmental level, organizations, sectoral policies and the whole Civil Service.

The thesis contributes to the definition of concepts, indicators and recommendations for improving evaluation systems and develop a comprehensive evaluation capacity in governance. Thus, the thesis is one of the first collections in Spain of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in this field.
