Abstract(s)
This report serves to inform on the meeting discussions and conclusions in developing the evaluation culture and the methodology for the end-term evaluation of the Portuguese National Health Plan 2020 (PNS 2020). The meeting was technically supported by the WHO Regional Office for Europe to Portugal (BCA 2016-2017).
Portugal has endorsed its National Health Plan (PNS) 2012-2016 in 2012 and in 2015 has extended its duration until 2020, scoping the commitments to Health 2020 at national and local levels. Portuguese national authorities planned for end-term evaluation of the PNS 2020 in their strategic and operational documents, to ensure meeting of the PNS objectives, goals and targets. WHO, Regional Office for Europe has supported policy development in Portugal in the last decade and especially the PNS 2020 as an implementing tool of the WHO European policy framework for health and well-being Health 2020. Following this line of cooperation for policy development, the Ministry of Health of Portugal requested technical support from the WHO Europe for developing a methodology of the PNS 2020 end-term evaluation as part of the signed Biennial Collaborative Agreement 2016-2017. The policy evaluation planning phase was initiated in July 2017 at a technical level to discuss evaluation structures, questions, criteria and methodological approach, as a prerequisite for further developing the work plan and terms of reference of the PNS 2020 end-term evaluation. Based on the conclusions of the meeting of WHO National Health Policies’ Program and the Portuguese National Health Institute (INSA) held in July 2017, INSA started several activities, and especially: (1) mapping of implementation evidence for PNS 2020, based on a methodology developed with technical support of WHO that included PNS 2020, Health 2020, NCD-GMF and SDG targets and indicators, (2) conceptualizing the governance structure and different scenarios for the end-term evaluation of PNS 2020, and (3) preparing high-level technical dialogue to bring together national institutions mandated with specific aspects for health policy development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation at different levels, as well as expert community. High-level technical dialogue was held on 14 and 15 December 2017. It widened the scope of discussions beyond the end-term evaluation of the PNS 2020 towards developing a culture for policy evaluation in the country, using the PNS 2020 evaluation for a more focused approach and discussions. This report presents a condensed overview of the rich and open meeting discussions, conclusions, and recommendations to serve further developing of the policy evaluation culture and the PNS 2020 end-term evaluation.
