Delineamentos da gestão municipal da política de assistência social na Paraíba

Abstract

The present study, entitled "Guidelines for Municipal Social Assistance Management in Paraíba, aims to evaluate the role of Small Porte I municipalities in the management of the Social Assistance Policy in Paraíba. Taking as a guiding question: To what extent does the management model implemented by SUAS help to fulfill the demands of Social Protection within the municipalities of Pequeno Porte I? The relevance of this study is to contribute to the debate on Social Protection Management, based on the relationship between the PNAS / SUAS reference model and the demands for Social Protection expressed in the housing territory. These, in turn, produce - ambiguities, differences, challenges and different perspectives in terms of the management of social protection, especially in the municipalities of Small Porte I. The problematization occurred from the model of aggregation of municipalities, sub-classification of SUAS 10 / MDS / 2015. The investigative process was based on a quantitative-qualitative approach of the exploratory and descriptive type, having as analytical and territorial basis the municipalities of Small Porte I, which are hegemonic in the state of Paraíba, that is: of the 223 municipalities, of these 193 are Small Porte I, corresponding to 39.92% of the Paraíba population. This composition also reproduces, in the majority, in the other states of the Brazilian territory, mainly in the Northeast Region. The investigative path was delineated from secondary and primary sources, based on an intentional sampling design, based on the criteria of managers associated to COEGEMAS and considering the subclassification of municipal ports adopted by SUAS 10, which aggregates 6 types of population in the same distributed in the four mesoregions, according to IBGE classification. The primary data collection was delimited as the main source the municipal manager responsible for the management of social protection in the municipalities. For this, the interview technique was used from a semi-structured questionnaire as instrument of this research. Being interviewed 15 managers / secretaries of Social Assistance. Secondary data on Municipal Social Protection Management were collected on websites, documents, regulatory framework of PNAS/SUAS. The collected materials were applied to the content analysis technique, to contemplate the reflective analysis of reality. It was possible to deduce that the model of organization of the municipal management process of the Social Assistance Policy has shown advances in its institutionality, although it still can not attend to the proposed organization of the organizational structure of the SUAS, concentrating basically on the services and benefits of protection protection. However, despite all difficulties in operationalizing municipal social protection management in SUAS, it is the municipal entity that most invests financially in Social Assistance Policy through Municipal Social Assistance funds, thus contributing to strengthening and executing the policy.
