Capixaba municipalities to receive support for structuring public policy monitoring systems

By the end of this year, the municipalities of Anchieta, Serra, and Montanha, in Espírito Santo, will have structured the path to create their own monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for public policies. The action integrates a pilot project led by the Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Espírito Santo (TCE-ES), with technical support from FGV CLEAR.

The initiative involves workshops, local diagnostics, and a proposal for a municipal policy aimed at institutionalizing M&E — a practice still little widespread in the Brazilian municipal context. In addition to technical advice, the project included a seminar and a course in Public Management Based on Evidence, with managers from 15 Capixaba municipalities.

According to the director of FGV CLEAR, professor André Portela, the experience could inspire other public administrations in the country. For the mayor of Montanha, Iracy Baltar, the participation represents a milestone and an example of innovation for other municipalities.
