OBJECTIVE: to assess the implementation of the actions of the Leprosy Control Program in Camaragibe, Pernambuco State, Brazil.

METHODS: evaluative research with {\textquoteright}implementation analysis{\textquoteright}, based on criteria, indicators and parameters guided from the construction of the Logic Model; four components were assessed - management, health care, epidemiological surveillance, health education and communication -; direct observation/questionnaire was used, as well as data from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases.

RESULTS: the implementation of the program was incipient (58.3\%); the estimate for the components varied from {\textquoteright}not implemented{\textquoteright} (health education and communication, 48.0\%), {\textquoteright}incipient{\textquoteright} (management, 53.3\%; health care, 57.2\%) to {\textquoteright}partially implemented{\textquoteright} (epidemiological surveillance, 73.0\%); in 2012, it was observed low proportion of examined contacts (28.4\%), treatment dropout (34.1\%), limited standardization of patient care flow, and poor resolution of problems by managers.

CONCLUSION: the level of implementation found was related to the organization of services, with negative repercussions regarding the result indicators.
