A experiência brasileira do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) e suas possibilidades de adaptação no Gabão: Cooperação Sul-Sul e circulação internacional de políticas públicas

Abstract

This research analyzes how the Brazilian experience of the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) can contribute to the formulation of a public school feeding policy in Gabon, considering the possibilities for cooperation between the two countries within the framework of South-South Cooperation (SSC). To address the research problem, a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach was adopted, using a bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and case study. The theoretical framework is based on studies on Food and Nutrition Security (FNS), South-South Cooperation (SSC), international policy circulation, and Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework. Initially, the research analyzes the historical trajectory, institutionalization, impacts, and internationalization of the PNAE. It then examines the context of FNS and initiatives related to school feeding in Gabon, seeking to identify the potential of the Brazilian experience to strengthen this agenda. The results indicate that the PNAE constitutes an important reference for technical cooperation processes, providing knowledge, institutional mechanisms, and management practices that can contribute to strengthening the institutional capacities of the Gabonese state and to formulating a public school feeding policy compatible with its political, economic, social, and institutional specificities.
