Public Management Evaluation Tool: 2007-2013

By Institutional Capacity of the State Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)

The Public Management Evaluation Tool (PET) evaluates five "pillars" of the public policies' management cycle considered important for the implementation of Management for Development Results (MfDR). The dataset covers Latin American and Caribbean countries over the period 2007-2013.

The five pillars are: (i) results-based planning, (ii) results-based budgeting, (iii) public financial management (including auditing and procurement), (iv) program and project management (including the public investment system), and (v) monitoring and evaluation of public management. These pillars are broken down into components that track the maturity of institutional systems. The components are in turn composed of indicators and minimum requirements that these systems must have in an MfDR environment.

Scoring

All of these measures—minimum requirements, indicators, components, and pillars—are scored on a scale from 0 to 5, where a 5 indicates an ideal institutional situation. This allows users to assess and compare the maturity of public-management systems across countries.

Coverage

The tool covers countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, among others. The data is provided as a single CSV resource.

Data notes

What is the Public Management Evaluation Tool (PET)?

It is a tool that evaluates five pillars of the public policies' management cycle considered important for implementing Management for Development Results (MfDR).

What are the five pillars it evaluates?

The pillars are: (i) results-based planning, (ii) results-based budgeting, (iii) public financial management (including auditing and procurement), (iv) program and project management (including the public investment system), and (v) monitoring and evaluation of public management.

How are the pillars structured?

The pillars are broken down into components that track the maturity of institutional systems, and the components are in turn composed of indicators and minimum requirements that systems must have in an MfDR environment.

How are the measures scored?

All measures—minimum requirements, indicators, components, and pillars—are scored on a scale from 0 to 5, where a 5 indicates an ideal institutional situation.

What is Management for Development Results (MfDR)?

MfDR is the management approach whose implementation the five pillars are designed to support; the tool measures whether institutional systems meet the requirements expected in an MfDR environment.

Which countries and time period are covered?

The data covers Latin American and Caribbean countries—including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru, among others—over the period 2007-2013.

In what format is the data available?

The data is provided as a single CSV resource.
