A atuação do estado na implementação/execução da política pública de assistência social: limites e possibilidades no âmbito das regionais da SEDESE em MG

Abstract

This research aims to implement the PNAS/SUAS, through the analysis of the work of SEDESE/Diretorias Regionais do Estado de Minas Gerais, from 2007 to 2014. For that, we did a bibliographic study, documentary analysis of the CEAS and decrees related to this theme, as well as field research with the subjects involved in this area – Regional Directors and Technical Higher Level. We find out that the Regional Directories act in the sense of fulfilling their role as a regionalized state entity, however they lack greater support to fully exercise their attributions, the major obstacles being the centralization of actions and the lack of financial contributions to improvement of working conditions, so that there is more permanence of workers and greater capacity of accomplishment of technical advice in the cities, currently the biggest work front of these Directorships. It was noticed from 2015, when the Higher Education Technicians were inserted in the Boards of directors, there was a greater effort of listening and discussion aimed at the strengthening of these regional ones. Through the analysis of the minutes of the CEAS, it was also observed that the Minas Gerais’s work is very proactive in relation to the national politics of social assistance, standing out in several aspects, such as the cofinancing of the policy, immense challenge due to the extension of the state, which groups a fifth part of the cities in the country, and technical advice, adhering to national training proposals, doing regional workshops and courses, which is much easier to the adhesion of towns and closer relationship to the state government. Regarding the implementation of PNAS/SUAS, we have seen that in Minas Gerais there was a huge effort to make it works, through the structuring of the management, pacing and deliberation instances, the implementation of the equipments and execution of the main plans, projects and social assistance benefits.
