Avaliação do processo de implantação do programa de aquisição de alimentos na modalidade compra institucional na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

This dissertation evaluated the process of implementing the institutional purchasing model of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), using the Brynard protocol 5c, which uses five variables (content, context, commitment, capacity, and customers) to evaluate the implementation of public policies. For the methodological course a research evaluation of implementation was adopted, with analytical descriptive approach. It is a case study in UFRN, where interviews were applied with a multistructured itinerary and participant observation, in addition to the documentary research. The results found showed that the implementation model of the PAA in the institutional purchases modality in UFRN did not count with pre model, having been formulated as the implementers met for discussion of the process. The historical context was a point that brought some difficulties to the implementation of the programme, since it was a troubled moment in the economic and political sphere of the country. Meanwhile, the commitment of the implementers and the administrative capacity of UFRN were the strengths of the implementation, contributing to the effective policy. Furthermore, the PAA-CI of UFRN has also brought positive results to both family farmers and the institution itself. At the end, recommendations are made for the refinement of the institutional purchasing model adopted by UFRN for the improvement of the next two calls.
