Abstract

The assessment of public policies is a step rousing interest both by comparison to the entire cycle of public policies, and related to the implementation of policies, especially seeing that the two steps were separately described in the specialty literature due to their specificity. The assessment assumes various actors, specific steps and sub-steps; it uses its own techniques, methods and tools. This specific framework of the assessment process will be followed at the level of this article and will be generically named the design of the assessment process. The design of assessment tries to define assessment related to the existence of assessment, its targets and functions, actors, steps and typologies. This study proposes to find the specificity elements of assessment and to outline what they have previously defined as being an evaluative design specific to local administration which can lead to good public policies as long as there is no assessment recipe.

Keywords: types of evaluation, stages of evaluation, public actors, public policies, public decision
