The Indicators Executive Evaluation (AEI) is a methodology developed by the government of Minas Gerais, through the Program State for Results, to be systematically used to evaluate the quality of the indicators monitored in the strategic management of Minas Gerais. This tool consists in 34 questions, grouped in four thematic axes: Data Production, Indicator Production, Concepts and Methodology, and Use and Communication. Those attributes evaluated are associated with desirable indicator’s characteristics, such as clarity, relevance, adequacy, timing and specificity. The methodology was applied to the set of indicators monitored in 2009 (104 indicators). The evaluation provided, for each indicator, the identification of gaps in the indicator production process, which was very useful to strengthen the portfolio of indicators. At last, this paper points out the value added by the AEI in the monitoring activity, encouraging the development of more appropriate measures for the public policies’ results and helping to strengthen the performance-based contracting model of the State.
