Abstract: Abstract Fiscal federalism, accountability and evaluation are concepts that come to life through the implementation of the Results-Based Budgeting and the Performance Evaluation System, or at least that is what we have understood in the Mexican context. Through a long list of legislative reforms, the scheme for the transfer of resources from the central government to subnational (states) and local (municipal) governments has been shaped, at the same time that obligations have been included to render accounts, establish goals and objectives with performance indicators and evaluate their results through external evaluation processes. Since subnational governments retain their freedom and sovereignty, the level of implementation of their own performance evaluation systems has been differentiated. To observe this phenomenon, we use the metrics of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit that since 2016, starting with the last legislative reform, allow us to identify the constituent elements of the state performance evaluation systems and their operation.
