Abstract

The new Brazilian law on access to information established a set of definitions, principles and guidelines aimed at promoting transparency and viability of exercising social control over government action. The results of programs of the multiannual plans (PPA) are in the set of information that must be made available to citizens. According to this law, these results are generated from the systematics for monitoring and evaluation of PPA programs that is established by a set of regulations. This work aims to analyze adherence of this systematics to the new law on access to information in order to stimulate debate about the existence of certain opacities that may restrict the monitoring and evaluation of governmental action by society.
