A gestão estadual da Política de Assistência Social em Sergipe no período de 2011 a 2014

Abstract

This monograph seeks to emphasize the importance of the management process in public policies of a social nature, focusing on Social Assistance. From this perspective, we map the state management of the Social Assistance Policy in Sergipe, identifying the attributions of Social Assistance in the state, the periodicity of its actions and the changes occurred in the space between 2011 to 2014. The research was of the bibliographic and documentary types , with qualitative and quantitative analyzes, whose theoretical assumptions were based on Marxian social theory. The study revealed how the insertion of Social Assistance into the wording of the Federal Constitution of 1988 meant an achievement for the population that was engaged in the struggle for rights. In this context, participative management, although it is not the most democratic form, is the one that is applied in the policy of Social Assistance in Brazil. It is based on the federative pact, in a shared way, in which the attributions and competences assigned to each sphere of government must be distributed and transferred. In addition, our study presents some considerations about the economic, social and political situation experienced during the period of analysis, as well as demographic aspects, maintaining the link between the local and the national scope. In addition, systematizes the data found in the local documents that characterized the policy of Social Assistance in Sergipe. In short, the management managed to achieve some goals in relation to the consolidation of SUAS in the scope of the National Policy of Social Assistance in the state of Sergipe, however, some aspects that represent setbacks have also been identified.
