Abstract
This report was prepared in response to
the request from the Government of Brazil to evaluate the
experiencia de Avaliacao do Plano Plurianual (PPA's)
evaluation system and propose ways it could be strengthened.
In our understanding, the genesis of the PPA as an
instrument of government planning and management and its
philosophy was circa 1999. It was then that the decision was
made to apply a particular planning model piloted with a set
of priority projects (Brazil em Acao) in the 1996-99 PPA to
the entire set of government activities in the PPA 2000-03.
The current state of the PPA reflects a series of
evolutionary changes since then, with the improvements in
its evaluation framework being one of them. Because of this
origin, understanding and evaluating the PPA evaluation
system will require placing it in the context of the
evolution and the effectiveness of the whole PPA, as
envisioned in its original model and its subsequent
adaptations. The point of departure is the observation that
the primary challenge is to make the PPA effective as an
instrument to make the federal administration more
performance oriented. Improvements to the evaluation system
as such, though welcome and needed, should be a secondary
objective for the government, as this is only a limited part
of the whole endeavor.
