• Evaluation of social services and care policies, plans, strategies, and programs (ex ante, intermediate, and ex post evaluation).
• Economic evaluation of care, social policies, and services: cost analysis, cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and cost-benefit.

• Design and updating of the economic evaluation methodology: service cost models (cost per place, hour, or person attended), cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, cost-benefit, and social return on investment analysis.
• Sustainability analysis: demand projections (aging, dependency, disability), spending and financing scenarios, and the budgetary impact of new measures, services, or changes in the portfolio.

• Development of databases and information systems based on information from the set of evaluations carried out by Agentzia.
• Management, cleaning, integration, and statistical analysis of databases from administrative records, official statistics, and the agency's own evaluations, under security conditions and in compliance with data protection regulations.
• Collaboration with the center and service evaluation area in the phases that require it—design of instruments and samples, data exploitation and analysis, preparation of aggregate reports and, when the workload makes it necessary, support in the execution of evaluations—as well as the integration of its results into the analysis of policies and plans.
• Permanent coordination with the person responsible for center and service evaluation and with the Management, particularly in the joint planning of the agency's activities.
• Preparation of reports, recommendations, and dissemination materials of results adapted to different audiences, and support in monitoring the implementation of recommendations.
