Avaliação das ações de sustentabilidade da agenda ambiental na administração pública – A3P na Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Ceará – ALECE

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the sustainability and socio-environmental responsibility initiatives developed by the Ceará State Legislative Assembly (ALECE), considering its institutional history, the challenges faced, and the impacts perceived by staff. The research is anchored in the in-depth evaluation methodology, grounded in the theoretical contributions of Rodrigues, Gussi, Ribeiro, and Zuquim, who advocate a counter-hegemonic, participatory, and critical approach to public policy evaluation. Through questionnaires and document analysis, we sought to understand how sustainable practices are perceived, appropriated, and reinterpreted within the institutional context. The results indicate significant progress in structuring initiatives focused on waste management, water reuse, educational campaigns, and adherence to regulations such as Normative Act No. 348/2024 and the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration (A3P). However, the data also reveal significant challenges, such as the need to strengthen training processes, increase employee participation, improve internal communication channels, and consolidate sustainability as a cross-cutting value of the organizational culture. The analysis demonstrates that, although the practices are institutionalized in normative terms, their full effectiveness depends on cultural transformation, collective engagement, and the construction of a public management system guided by the principles of socio-environmental justice, intergenerational ethics, and collective responsibility. It is concluded that sustainability, more than an administrative guideline, must be understood as an educational, ethical, political, and ongoing process.
