The rights approach to local public management: experiences from Brazil

Abstract: The Fundação Getulio Vargas, São Paulo, Public Management and Citizenship Program was set up in 1996 with Ford Foundation support to identify and disseminate Brazilian subnational government initiatives in service provision that have a direct effect on citizenship. Already, the program has 2,500 different experiences in its data bank, the results of four annual cycles.

“…At the beginning our answer was yes or may be, but eventually we learnt to also reply: "no idea -does it matter?" Important in forming the last answer was another Ford Foundation supported project in which we looked closely at local initiatives in poverty reduction SPINK, 2000;SPINK 2003). These were practical experiences gathered from a number of sources being developed by municipal governments, NGOs and community movements, which were then debated in open meetings with activists, academics, members of the communities themselves and case-study researchers.…”

“…In the second part, the focus is on the experience of the Public Management and Citizenship Program (SPINK, 2000) and the theme of innovation in public organizations (JACOBI; PINHO, 2006;FARAH;SPINK, 2008) and local responses to poverty reduction SPINK, 2000;CAMAROTTI, 2007). From this, two important themes appear: the notion of public action as an aggregating concept for discussing the complexity of the contemporary social, economic and political scene at the mid-range level of action (including the role of business); the importance of seeing what is taking place from the point of view of what are at times very distinctive territorialities.…”

“…A suposição de que é melhor ter mais serviços, mesmo que os mecanismos de acesso a estes sejam pouco O que parece ser necessário é reconhecer as possibilidades de ação de uma gestão pública na perspectiva da cidadania e dos direitos (Spink, 2000).Isto é, uma gestão pública preocupada com o impacto dos serviços e das ações públicas no cotidiano do exercício da cidadania entendido no seu sentido mais amplo. Onde os serviços serão julgados eficazes não porque são mais rápidos ou mais baratos, ou ainda porque produzem mais ação, mas por gerarem conseqüências tangíveis, aceitáveis e claras para as condições e a prática da cidadania, para a redução da desigualdade e da pobreza; tanto para quem recebe quanto para quem fornece e para quem participa da comunidade mais ampla em que as ações ocorrem.…”
