Social programs are policy instruments that aim to guarantee people's basic rights such as education, health, food and in general all those essential aspects for a dignified and full life. In this sense, they are aimed at serving the most vulnerable population, which is the one that faces the greatest obstacles to achieving these rights. However, in many cases programs do not achieve their purpose, either because they were not well designed from the start, because in practice they work for purposes other than social ones, such as clientelle use for political-electoral purposes, or because they operate with anomalies in an environment of opacity.

According to the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) and other independent bodies dedicated to evaluating public policy, one measure to avoid these problems is to have evaluations and control mechanisms throughout the program cycle, in addition to operating it with maximum transparency (1).
