Abstract

The São José III project, implemented between 2012 and 2019, focused on two main areas: productive inclusion, through the financing of projects aimed at generating employment and income, and the expansion of basic infrastructure, especially water supply and rural sanitation systems. This study aims to analyze the impacts of the São José III Project on rural development in the state of Ceará, with an emphasis on family farming. This is a study based on a bibliographic review and documentary analysis, seeking to understand how the actions taken to strengthen the socioeconomic status of rural communities were implemented. The results indicate that the PSJ III benefited more than 32,000 families in 14 territories in the state, with most of the projects aimed at the productive area. It is also observed that the work of community associations was essential to the success of the project, both in resource management and in organizing farmers. It is concluded that the project contributed significantly to reducing rural poverty, strengthening family farming, and promoting sustainable development in the communities served.
