Between 2003 and 2016, the Brazilian federal government implemented the National Program for the Sustainable Development of Rural Territories (PRONAT), whose governance took place in joint participatory colleges formed by social actors, their organizations and government representatives. Social management constituted the guiding framework of the program and the social management cycle sought to organize the processes of participation, coordination, management and social control of public policies by territorial actors. The Ministry of Agrarian Development began to design its monitoring and evaluation system in 2007. For this purpose, it mobilized teams of researchers from several public universities in the country. The evaluation of social management and its concrete indicators in two cycles of monitoring and evaluation, configuring itself as a decentralized process through an index composed of the several relevant indicators theoretically and methodologically, embedded in the Social Management Index (IGS). This paper aims to: (i) discuss the theoretical references that guided the construction of the IGS, ii) present the trajectory of the evaluation methodology and the associated monitoring and evaluation systems and iii) characterize the dimensions of the index. Lessons are given about construction process that favoured tinkering, learning and hybridization.
