The distinction between "evaluation" and "analysis" within "EPPPAL: an endogenous model for public policy originating in, and directed toward Latin America", is a crucial issue because it gives balance, complements and questions the generous Anglo-Saxon (English) proposal and the friendly French offer on how to make policy public in Latin America. This paper begins with a brief description of the difference between public policy "Analysis" and "Evaluation". The first part presents the evolution of evaluation literature, its functions, conceptual references, typology, and models. q-he second section presents an analysis of its components, its basic assumptions, characteristics, emphases and tools.
