English translation:of any public decision

Explanation:
In french, "toute evaluaton de choix public" is " toute evaluation de choix (posé par un organe ou une institution) publique", in shorter...
In english, I would write "all evaluations of any publics decisions". This translation would also avoid the confusion with the "public choice theory", which is not concerned here, it seems.

Grading comment

Thanks - I agree that it should not be confused with the economic theory of public choice. I have gone for 'publicly-endorsed policy' (suggested by another colleague) but I think it's more or less the same thing!
