Políticas públicas para municipalização dos ODM: o caso de Pombal/PB

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals in the Brazilian municipalities, especially in the Municipality of Pombal / PB. The implementation of the MDGs in municipalities is a UN strategy, which became known in Brazil as "Municipalization of the Millennium Development Goals". From the municipalization, there was greater interaction between the three levels of government (Federal, State and Municipal). The alignment of public policies with Agenda was a very important factor in reaching the goals. Brazil is presented by t he United Nations as an example to be followed and the municipality of Pombal, in the state of Paraíba pointed to as a success case for the MDGs. This brings us to the initiatives, programs and actions of the Pombal city, facing the challenges of the MDG Agenda and the results obtained from these initiatives to better understand how the implementation of a global Agenda at the local level was accomplished.
