Summary/Abstract: The evaluation of a public policy aims to appreciate its effectiveness and efficiency, it is considered as an essential element of the modernization of public administration and good governance. Evaluation took extent in those recent years, guides and evaluation procedures are produced by UNDP; the World Bank; research and expertise centers for evaluation, networks, associations and government entities; National, regional, continental and international levels have been dedicated to evaluation around the world. By wanting to give more attention to public policy evaluation, the United Nations General Assembly designated officially 2015 as an international evaluation year, which is the year of transition from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Some African countries have succeeded in taking steps to institutionalize, disseminate the culture of evaluation and practice of evaluating public action, while in other countries the process is still in its embryonic stage. Some challenges remain, namely; recognition by the public power of the role of evaluation as an important lever for economic development, development of evaluative capacities and the creation of an enabling environment for the implementation of evaluation results.
