Existe uma distância significativa entre o discurso institucional da Cooperação Portuguesa e as práticas dos membros deste setor, no que diz respeito à avaliação externa. A presente Dissertação de Mestrado pretendeu identificar quais os elementos do contexto da Cooperação Portuguesa que afetam, e como, o processo de avaliação externa realizada por empresas e/ou avaliadores individuais, de programas/projetos executados por Organizações Não Governamentais para o Desenvolvimento (ONGD), entre 2013 e 2023. O estudo empírico, baseado numa abordagem qualitativa, recorreu a dois tipos de instrumentos, a entrevista semiestruturada e o questionário, a aplicar a um universo constituído por três ONGD, quatro empresas especialistas em avaliação, dois avaliadores individuais e o Camões, I.P., de acordo com o website deste financiador, onde são divulgados os relatórios de avaliação externa realizados entre 2013 e 2023. Os resultados destacaram que existem múltiplos elementos do contexto que afetam, positiva e negativamente, o processo avaliativo externo de programas/projetos e que apesar da intenção clara do Governo para investir mais na monitorização e na avaliação, refletida na Estratégia da Cooperação Portuguesa 2030, o presente TFM confirmou que a Cooperação Portuguesa ainda tem um longo caminho a percorrer, sobretudo, no que concerne o investimento necessário ao nível da criação de uma cultura de avaliação no setor, seja através da contratação de recursos humanos especializados, seja pelo aumento de recursos financeiros para a realização de avaliações externas dos programas/projetos financiados. A avaliação externa ainda não está interiorizada, para as ONGD e para o Camões, I.P, como uma ferramenta muito útil, cujos resultados deveriam ser totalmente incorporados nas suas práticas.
Regarding external evaluation, there is a significant gap between the institutional discourse of the Portuguese International Aid sector and the practices of its members. This master’s thesis sought to identify which elements of the Portuguese International Aid context affect, and how, the external evaluation process carried out by companies iv and/or individual evaluators, of programmes/projects implemented by Non-Governmental Development Organisations (NGDOs), between 2013 and 2023. This study, based on a qualitative approach, used two types of instruments, a semi-structured interview and a survey, to be applied to a universe composed by three NGOs, four companies specialised in evaluation, two individual evaluators and Camões, I.P. Agency, according to the funder's website, which publishes the external evaluation reports conducted between 2013 and 2023. This thesis results highlighted that there are multiple factors that affect, positively and negatively, the external evaluation process of programmes/projects and that despite the government's clear intention to invest more in monitoring and evaluation, as reflected in the Portuguese Cooperation Strategy 2030, this study confirmed that the Portuguese International Development sector still has a long way to go, especially in terms of the investment needed to create a culture of evaluation within, either by hiring specialised human resources or by increasing financial resources to carry out external evaluations of funded programmes/projects. Therefore, external evaluation has not yet been internalised by NGOs and Camões, I.P. as a very useful tool, whose findings should be fully incorporated into their practices.
