Avaliação de implementação: o Conselho de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente em Rio Branco - Acre (2013 a 2016)

Abstract

As a result of popular struggles in the country, the social participation became one of the components of organization and management of public policies, by means of creation and institutionalization of management councils, endowed, officially, of deliberative nature and parity composition with representatives of government and civil society. This led them to consider an institutional innovation in Brazil because it carried with it the possibility of some changes in the implementation of public policies. However, many researches point out that there are several factors that limit the operation of the council decisions and distancing what was deliberated and implemented. This work has as a background the concern with the policy of social assistance and management of child and adolescent care in Rio Branco city. The problem of this research was to inquire how the implementation of the deliberations agreed by the City Council of Children and Teenagers Rights – CCCTR, occurred in the period from 2013 to 2016. The answer of this question headed the work and led us to identify the factors that were involved and interacted in the process of implementing their deliberations. Its main goal was to evaluate the implementations of deliberations of CCCTR as guiding hypothesis that the institutional of the Council, being only formally deliberative and supervisory, make it difficult to implement the deliberations. The methodology used in the present study was the analysis of the implementation process, emphasizing the sub-processes of training, dissemination and information, monitoring and evaluation. For the collection of data and information, the indirect documentation technique was used by means of bibliographical and documentary research, and also direct documentation by means of application of a questionnaire and an interviewing with 18 municipal counselors, defined as research sample. It was found that, in the period between 2013 to 2016, the CCCTR had the implementation of its deliberations compromised and permeated by several shortcomings in the progress of the actions. It was observed that the traditional form of monthly meetings had been innocuous in terms of deploying decisions and mobilizing resources. The research has shown that the council of rights has a very limited range of action. With regard to deliberative competence, it was observed that it is a fragile council, with not enough power to go ahead with its resolutions. And the legal competence of social control consisted of a partial control, in which the inspection was directed to civil society organizations that provide care to children and adolescents. The institutional conditions under which the council is subjected are unfavorable to the progress of the implementation of its deliberations. Because it is not an authorizing agency of expenditure and does not deliberate on other actions, it becomes dependent and linked to the municipal structure of the State, where municipal managers direct where to use the most important resources.
