This research aims to determine whether the proposal of the Sustainable Cities Program (PCS) (goal plans, axes, indicators and results) can serve as an instrument for evaluating public management in Brazilian municipalities, from the perspective of accountability. The methodological procedure was based on information collection techniques, based on indirect and direct documentation, collected from the program's website and with complementary data provided by the program's management. Then, the classification was performed regarding adherence to the goal plan. It was observed that even though the program has metrics and guidelines for the municipalities involved, there is no understanding and empathy on the part of managers to what the PCS values, so the results indicate that in the current circumstances it would not be possible to use it as a tool. evaluation of the work developed.
