This work of a socioeconomic nature proposes to know the level of use and usefulness of the results of the evaluations of the field support programs in Mexico, in the period 2001-2017, it is a meta-evaluation or evaluation of the evaluation, which considers particularly those two key aspects of the evaluation process. To carry out the study, information was obtained from the possible users of the evaluations through a survey applied online or directly. The foregoing is relevant since in Mexico the formal evaluation of SADER’s field support programs before SAGARPA dates back to the end of 1997, with the Alliance for the Field, to the current programs and also in an important period of time. From 2001 to date, the federal government has maintained a technical cooperation agreement with FAO to conduct this process. Thus, this work is also relevant for decision-making since it corroborates, among other things, the limited use of evaluations carried out in decision-making for the improvement of programs. Finally, it is expected to contribute to motivate a technical-methodological and normative redefinition of the external evaluation process of the field support programs in Mexico and thus achieve the objective of improving the performance of said programs to which they are assigned year after year. important public resources to improve the standard of living of the population living in rural areas.
