Cooperação Sul-Sul para segurança alimentar: influências do Centro de Excelência do Programa Mundial de Alimentos nas relações Brasil-África

Abstract

Este artigo avalia a cooperação Sul-Sul entre Brasil e África Ocidental sob a ótica das parcerias para o desenvolvimento e da erradicação da fome da Agenda 2030. Para tal, analisou-se a ligação da política exterior do Brasil à experiência brasileira no combate à fome por meio do componente de alimentação escolar da estratégia Fome Zero. Foram aplicados modelos de teoria da mudança e de path-dependence em três estudos de caso (Senegal, Togo e Gâmbia). Com isso, estimou-se que a cooperação no combate à fome foi positivamente complementada pelas ações do Centro de Excelência do Programa Mundial de Alimentos. Essa adição traduz-se como uma aproximação suplementar diplomática entre o Brasil e aqueles países em relação à cooperação Sul-Sul impulsionada pelas agências do governo brasileiro.

Brazilian foreign policy for the Global South: The creation of the Centre of Excellence against Hunger

“…Itamaraty engagement fit the context of seeking a new positioning for Brazil in international hierarchy, as well as allowing for a renewed relationship with the WFP. Future studies may assess the receptiveness of these actions on the part of traditional donors and local partners and the impact of the work conducted by the Centre in effectively combating hunger (Articulação Sul, 2017;Magalhães & Buani, 2017). There is also a need for further discussion on accountability mechanisms and the cost-benefit ratio for all those involved in South-South co-operation and collaboration agreements with the UN.…”

“…However, in Itamaraty, the idea that the technical co-operation offered by Brazil should be monitored by the Brazilian Co-operation Agency (ABC), which at this stage was almost exclusively a recipient of international aid, was starting to take hold, as explained by one of the diplomats involved (personal communication, Brazilian Diplomat 1, May 2, 2017). Indeed, the significance of Brazilian social programmes in the 2000s strengthened ABC to lead negotiations and perform activities based on SSC principles (Magalhães & Buani, 2017). The support of the ABC, as well as the Brazil Mission to FAO and its related agencies, were identified as determining elements in the emergence of the new institution in conversations with staff members.…”

Mobilising international embeddedness to resist radical policy change and dismantling: the case of Brazil under Jair Bolsonaro (2019–2022)

“…Cooperation activities included bilateral South-South and trilateral schemes alongside UN entities like WFP and FAO, implemented mostly in Latin America and Africa. Examples range from a the Brazil-FAO International Cooperation Programme, launched in 2008, the Brazil-WFP Centre of Excellence Against Hunger, launched in 2011, as well as shorted-lived initiatives like the 2012-2016 Purchase from Africans for Africa (PAA Africa) 23 (CEAH and IPC-IG, 2013;Miranda et al, 2017;FAO, 2018;Magalhães & Buani, 2017;Dri and Molinari da Silva, 2021). 24 Throughout the years, FNDE became the main source of funding for Brazil's school feeding-related international technical cooperation initiatives.…”

Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar no contexto do federalismo: Sob a ótica do gestor educacional

“…Essa rede tem como objetivo promover o trabalho conjunto e apoiar programas de nutrição de instituições públicas e privadas, acadêmicas e da sociedade nos países da América Latina e do Caribe. Assim, as práticas do PNAE têm influenciado os acordos de cooperação do Brasil com os países em desenvolvimento (Magalhães & Buani, 2017).…”
