Objective: To investigate how the effectiveness of integrity and anti-corruption policies in local governments can be evaluatedin a qualitative aproach, analyzing a federal program experimentally, implemented between 2018 and 2020, in a sample of 12 ofthe 25 voluntary Brazilian municipalities.?eoretical framework: Analysis and evaluation of the policy based on an organizational integrity management frameworkpublished by the OECD.Methodology: Evaluative and exploratory research with procedures of participant observation, content analysis and descriptivestatistics.Results: 26 types of products, 15 category of instruments, 17 processes and 16 central structures (actors) were evidenced. ?eeffectiveness of the period was only 65%, but the policy is subject to implementation gaps that may impact its effectiveness,and mainly its efficiency and impacts. Time lacks a defined change model (theory of change), with measurable objectives andperformance indicators. In a qualitative approach, regarding the coherence of the model and balance of the measures, many ofthem depend on interaction with the external context and are rule-based type. Despite its limits, the policy is innovative and canplay a fundamental role in the development of institutional capacities in Brazilian local governments, which have a high incidenceof corruption and very fragile integrity systems.Originality: ?ere are almost no theoretical-empirical studies on integrity policies in Brazilian’s local governments.Theoretical and practical contributions: ?e policy is still under development and it’s possible to adjust it, including emphasison the creation of a local agenda, and inclusion of value-based measures. As a theoretical contribution, new elements were addedto the framework adopted.
