The evaluation of the result of local public management and the measurement of its effectiveness, as a criterion for improvement, is a main topic in contemporary specialized literature because of its contribution to social welfare and development; however, the study carried out in the last 30 years shows diverse conceptions and methodological proposals around it. The present work has as an objective: to develop an approximate conceptual model to the improvement needs of the Local Organ of Popular Power in Cuba, taking into account theoretical considerations and good practices from the national and international environment, and the use of diverse theoretical and empirical methods that accompany the research process. The results of the study recognize the relevance of the model and its indicators for the agile, flexible and integral measurement of local public management, turning them into a tool to guide the decision making of directors and public officials.
