The performance of systems and health policies is closely related to their capacity of reaching objectives and goals within a context of clear governance priorities. In this perspective, Performance Management (GD), which is a set of elements and procedures that tactically adjust actions outlined to ensure the achievement of results, seems to fulfill this purpose. The objective of this study was to evaluate the Monitoring and Evaluation Policy used by the Executive Secretariat for Health Surveillance of Pernambuco (SEVS), based of this model. A normative evaluation was carried out, using a qualitative descriptive approach starting with the design of the PM logical model and pre-established criteria. For this study, we interviewed 10 key informants and documents were analyzed. The SEVS M & E Policy is convergent with the Performance Management model, based on the components proposed in the analysis: performance leadership, management structure and production of information and knowledge. The M & E are key elements in this process, but it is necessary to differentiate them and seek strategies that will keep them alive. More often than not, monitoring the performance of Health Surveillance Management is the driving force behind the sustainability of the Policy. The evaluation needs to take on a more permanent agenda at SEVS, as part of the performance that is pursued.
