A intersetorialidade enquanto estratégia de gestão das políticas públicas sobre drogas

Abstract

The issue of intersectionality is increasingly in the debate about public policy management in Brazil. As for their different approaches, prevails the idea of conception as a public management strategy that refer the integration of various sectors and civil society, in order to solve social problems. This allows an overall understanding about the thematic of drugs, as mirrors a multifaceted view of the problem that finds correspondence with the vision of drugs as a social issue and, therefore, does not refer to a single actor, not just certain sectors. The research was characterized by being an exploratory case study conducted in the city of Juiz de Fora/MG. We analyze the functioning of the intersectoral through participant observation, official documents and semi-structured interviews with managers that compose the Comitê Gestor Municipal de Políticas Sobre Drogas (Municipal Management Committee on Drugs) of Programa Crack, é Possível Vencer (Crack Program is Possible Winning). The results showed that the intersectoral approach still is a process under construction, with great challenges. There is a notion of political actors about the concept of intersectionality, associated with aspects of complementarity between sectors, common objective, interdisciplinarity, integrality and practical disagreement. There is a lack of parameter setting for the actions that the guides. Usually, there are emergency strategies of each sector separately. Facilitators aspects of intersectoral approach were the interaction between systems, scenario analysis, implementation planning, knowledge of the other's work and leadership. Hindering aspects: excessive bureaucratization, personal and political interests, different priorities, fragmentation of the administration, insufficient dialogue and sector overloads. In the specific issue of drugs, there are difficulties with regard to the lack of knowledge of network, participation of civil society, pressure for indicators and human resources. While the aspects of the program were cited, among others, lack of programmatic convergence, slowness in the process, lack of planning in the implementation, design which provides interfaces, dialogue facilitator. Understand the points raised facilitates and directs the improvement of public policies that are to be intersectional, especially in the area of drugs.
