This article proposes to implement a qualitative opinion survey aimed at experts and build and index based on the results orientated for continuously assessing governance using a methodology that aside from the financial aspect, considers other 7 different topics to be analyzed. The addressed method is based on the study and adaptation of a simplified questionnaire of the main guidelines set by multilateral agencies to Governments for tracking their responsibilities and for implementing the current statistical best practices in survey design for opinion perception. The main result is the development of an assessment tool for governance supported on international methodological referents different from financial modeling, useful to compare their results to identify the impact of government policies on societies.
