This paper presents the results of Pronaf’s implementation evaluation based on the following criteria: content, context, capacity, commitment and clients/coalitions. Beyond the documental analysis, the methodology has used interviews and focus groups. The results highlight the necessity of convergence between the perspectives top-down and bottom-up for the analysis of implementation of public policies and indicate technical assistance deficiencies as the most important obstacles for the success of the program. On the other hand, there are meaningful improvements on the governance structure, enabling the settlement of demands brought up by different actors and that enhances frequent updates in the scope of the program , thus ensuring the maintenance of the operational quality achieved.
