Programa Bolsa Família e Intersetorialidade: análise dos desafios e potencialidades da gestão do programa no município de Manicoré/AM a partir do olhar dos profissionais de Serviço Social

Abstract

The Social Assistance has become one of the main social policies of the recent capitalist Social State, especially in relation to monetary benefits usually called minimum income. In this sense, this research sought to deepen discussions about the effectiveness of public Social Assistance policy in the Amazon context, with an emphasis on the main Brazilian income transfer program. To this end, our general objective was to analyze the view of social service professionals on the particularities of the management of the Family Bag program (PBF) in the municipality of Manicoré/AM to contribute to the promotion of effective intersectoral strategies in the management of the program. To carry out a more in-depth discussion, the following specific objectives were outlined: 1) Characterize the particularities of the management of the Family Bag Program with a focus on the Amazonian context of the municipality; 2) Know the conditions, demands and work responsibilities of the Social Worker in this program in the municipal social assistance policy; 3) Unveil the vision of social workers and intersectoral coordinators (assistance, health and education) on the challenges and potential of implementing intersectorality in the process of monitoring compliance with conditionalities in the management of the PBF. In relation to methodological procedures, this is an explanatory type of research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, which was conducted through the collection of data and/or information of a bibliographic, documentary and field nature. In collecting information from the research subjects, the semi-structured interview technique was used, with seven (07) Social Workers and three (3) Intersectoral Coordinators (social assistance, health and education) as subjects, representing a total of 10 interviewed subjects. Data analysis was carried out through the triangulation of documentary sources, field sources (the voice of the subjects) and the historical and socio-territorial context of the Amazonian reality in the municipality of Manicoré in the state of Amazonas. The interpretation of the voices of the research subjects was carried out using the content analysis technique, through which we sought to deepen the analysis of the content of the interviews carried out. In relation to the main results of the study, it was concluded that there was no effectiveness of intersectorality between social assistance, health and education in the management of the Family Bag Program (PBF) in the municipality of Manicoré/AM. However, this implies the need to create management strategies to carry out joint and coordinated work, in order to contribute to improving service for the program's beneficiary population in combating poverty in the Amazonian context.
