Abstract

Several international institutions have positively assessed the evaluation system of government programs developed in Chile. However, technical and institutional aspects continue to represent a challenge for this system, in addition to the problem of the low performance evaluation that the programs are receiving. This article corresponds to a presentation of the results of a research aimed at identifying, through a systematic review of the Government Program Evaluations carried out in Chile during the years 2001-2020, the critical areas of social programs as a whole and at the sectoral level. This is based on the consideration that not paying attention to these aspects would constitute an obstacle, both for making decisions for improvement and continuous learning about the programs, as well as for carrying out better quality evaluations. The methodology used was Quantitative Content Analysis. The findings of this research suggest prevailing shortcomings at the global level in the areas of results, design and institutional coordination in social programs, trends that are generally maintained at the sectoral level, in addition to highlighting specific problems.
