Chile is well-advanced in the field of
program and project evaluation, with adequate institutions
and procedures in place, and has achieved a very high
standard by any international comparison. DIPRES has
established a system of evaluations of sound quality. This
system promotes the utilization of evaluation results in
management decisions, including budget decision. The
outsourcing of evaluations guarantees technical and
political independence of program and project evaluations,
while increasing their credibility. On the other hand,
policy evaluation in Chile is mainly an ad-hoc and
spontaneous activity, with no definite procedures or
standards. Regardless of the quality of those sporadic
evaluations, the fact remains that no one is responsible for
the selection, methods, implementation, financing, and
utilization of the results of policy evaluations. This
report will focus on developing a strategy and instruments
for further institutionalizing public policy assessment in
Chile. The first chapter discusses definitions and concepts
related to the public policy process and describes the scope
of this report. Chapter second examines the policy processes
of six Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) countries, including federal countries such as Canada
and the United States (U.S.) and unitary countries similar
to Chile. Chapter third takes the OECD context as background
to analyze Chile’s own policy process and lays out
challenges to improving the policy process in Chile. Chapter
fourth builds on the previous analysis to offer a number of
possible directions Chile can take to achieve its goal of
strengthening public policy assessment. |
