Adaptaciones al Subsistema Nacional de Evaluación de Costa Rica a partir de los ODS

Abstract

The article compiles the advances in the sub-system of evaluation in the field of public interventions evaluation in the Costa Rican public sector. It particularly emphasizes the strategic elements recently configured by the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy as the governing body in evaluation, bearing in mind the postulates of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals’ framework as a reference and meeting point. In this sense, a tour around the national governing instruments for evaluation that have been permeated by this international framework is made, as well as a review of a specific case. It concludes with a series of reflections to feed the debate on the need to step forward in the state apparatus’ evaluation schemes.
