O Fundo de combate e erradicação da pobreza no Estado da Paraíba (Funcep/Pb): Uma análise do fomento à política pública estadual de economia solidária

Abstract

The research sought to carry out an exploratory study with the purpose of analyzing the participation of the Fund for Combating and Eradicating Poverty in the State of Paraíba (FUNCEP/PB) in the promotion of solidarity economy actions in the State of Paraíba, taking into account two periods, 2005 to 2014 and from 2015 to 2018. The focus of the research was, therefore, the transfer of resources from FUNCEP / PB to solidarity economy actions in the state of Paraíba, through covenants, terms of cooperation or similar. The FUNCEP / PB finances the execution of priority projects to combat and eradicate poverty. These programs and projects are directed to the attention of municipalities throughout the State, preferably the localities with the lowest social indicators, as well as groups or families that are in conditions of social vulnerability, articulating and integrating actions of various sectoral policies, as well as emergency programs, approved by its Management Council. Throughout the analyzed period, it was sought to analyze aspects that highlight the types of support made, the amounts passed on, as well as the relation of FUNCEP/PB in the structuring of the public policy of solidarity economy in the State, especially after the creation of the Executive Secretariat for Security Food and Solidarity Economy (SESAES) and the State Plan for Solidarity Economy. It was concluded that FUNCEP plays an important role in the financing of solidarity economy actions, even identifying the low percentage allocated to this policy, and points to an important way of structuring state policy, whether for the vocation of financing integrated projects, such as the APLs, or in the induction of the strengthening of the institutionality of the public policy from the direction of the resources for the policy in the period of 2015/2018 and the centralization of the management of the resources in the SESAES.
