Community participation in the São José Project

By ANTONIO CAVALCANTE DE ALMEIDA

This paper analyzes the S o Jos Project (PSJ). Its mission is to improve the living conditions of the poorest populations by supporting infrastructure, productive and social sub-projects for groups of small rural producers organized in community associations in the interior of the state of Cear . In this paper, we analyze how the participatory strategies of the social actors were implemented and negotiated in the different stages of the project - formulation, implementation and evaluation. The investigation was based on a case study carried out in the municipality of Quixeramobim, located in the central hinterland region of Cear . In the municipal unit, four community associations were chosen for the representative sample: two with a level of community participation considered to be successful and the other two with an insufficient level of participation. In this way, the research focused on three different arenas: associations, councils and the state government.
