Objective: The study aimed at investigating the perceptions of Local Administration Leaders in what concerned the practices and processes of monitoring and evaluation related to public management. Methods:  A semi-structured questionnaire was applied to local government leaders (technicians and undersecretaries) from eighty-nine cities over  50,000 inhabitants that  joined the “Pacto pela Saude”. Results:  Despite of the fact that the majority of respondents was equipped with management tools and made use of information systems to orient the decision-making processes, such use can be considered either inadequate or inefficient. Conclusion: Bearing in mind the institutional needs and challenges to be tackled, the paper has demonstrated the existence of significant gaps in relation to organizational practices that allow the institutionalization of M&A within the municipal administration, thus demonstrating a challenge to be overcome.
