COPRODUÇÃO NAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE FOMENTO À AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR

UMA ANÁLISE DAS AÇÕES DO MUNICÍPIO DE CAMPOS DOS GOYTACAZES/RJ

Abstract

Co-production in public services is an emerging theoretical approach in public policy studies. This approach starts from the conception that the production of public policy involves different social actors, at different moments in their cycle. Thus, through a qualitative case study, an observation research was carried out, investigating: how are Public Policy for the Promotion of Family Agriculture (PPAF’s) constituted in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, in the light of the co-production approach? In order to analyze the process of co-production of PPAF's in the municipality, the specific objectives of the research were: To identify the social actors who participate in PPAF's; Describe their political relations in the co-productive process; and Analyze the dynamics of co-production of PPAF’s.  The present work contributes to perceive the diversity of social actors in the co-production of PPAF’s, the influence of political elements in the co-productive process and that the participation of these actors occurs through dialogue and discussion.
