“…Dessa forma, as condicionalidades aparecem como uma obrigação a ser realizada pelos beneficiários por receberem uma "ajuda" do governo. Na mesma direção, Costa et al 50 mostram que os beneficiários do programa também fazem uso do termo "ajuda" para fazer menção à caridade, subentendendo que o valor recebido advém da caridade do governo em garantir o acesso a itens básicos, como vestimenta e alimentação, ou seja, reafirmando a percepção do programa não como direito.…”

The Bolsa Família Program -PBF is an example of action that requires intersectoral efforts and contributes to implementation of the Food Safety System and Nutrition -SISAN. Beneficiary families are in the most vulnerable situation, as they have to face the complexity of this condition. In this sense, the intersectoral approach is the political strategy that has been used by the main public policies in Brazil. This is a Case Study in Morros de Santos, which aimed to characterize the profile of PBF beneficiaries, map and reflect on the intersectoral actions implemented or under construction and to gather information on the perception of service managers about the program. Therefore, questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The profile has been defined by descriptive analysis and interviews were analyzed by content analysis. Five key informants of social, health and education services of Morros de Santos were interviewed. The profile of the beneficiaries was in line with the program objectives, but there is no access of services to unified data. The actions have been restricted to sectored monitoring of PBF's conditionalities. The perception of managers about the program is that it fulfills its objectives, although it is not yet seen as a right. In this scenario, it is suggested that municipal investment should occur in different sectors, while rethinking policy actions and considering intersectorality as an strategic axis. Having a unified information system would facilitate the work and the effectiveness of these actions, including promoting SAN, thus contributing directly to the implementation and consolidation of SISAN in the city.

The Bolsa Família Programme is often discussed in Brazil. Its relevance, actuality and capacity to adapt to different party models and government regimes are systematically discussed. This article analyses the process of institutionalization of the Bolsa Família program (PBF) in Brazil during the governments of the Labour Party, but offers also insights in order to understand its continuity over the years despite the partisan shifts of the Brazilian regime. From a historical-materialist political analysis, I argue that the PBF is a hegemonic policy within the Brazilian social assistance that reinforces a paradigm of welfare based on access to basic services through the market and not as universal social right. Its hegemony has been consolidated through strategies of unification, centralization and agreements among federal entities. These strategies were elaborated within the process of agenda definition that led to the implementation of the program. The regulation model adopted is understood as a resource operated by managers in order to ensure hegemony by means of: (a) centralization of goals, (b) inter-sectorial conditionalities, (c) model of performance control linked to financial rewards to municipalities, (d) control of conditionalities and targeting counterbalanced by mechanisms of mass coverage and (e) strategies for social legitimation. The work offers a methodological approach for the analysis of researches conducted about the program, and establishes a dialogue with the field that focuses on the evaluation of social policies, especially with studies that examine the role of law within these policies, as well as with those dealing with the expansion of conditional cash transfer programs.
