Abstract

The article carries out a critical review of the Spanish Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. After describing the genesis of recovery plans in the EU, we consider the limited social resources with which the plan was developed. Its structure and the weaknesses contained in the absence of quantitative objectives that allow monitoring and evaluation are analyzed below. In fact, the absence of a mechanism for evaluation and accountability of results is noted, beyond the mere execution of funds, as well as the limitations of the established management apparatus, which should have had a much larger dimension.
