Os limites e desafios das Organizações da Sociedade Civil diante de um processo de chamamento público no estado do Ceará

Abstract

Considering the challenges of Third Sector institutions in raising funds, this study aims to identify the factors that hinder these institutions from having access to resources from public calls, in the case of this research, the call of the Fund for the Def ense of Diffuse Rights of the State of Ceará (FDID). This researc h is based on informations described through analyzes of official FDID documets, by understanding the perception of Third Sector institutions about public calling processes and by comparing t he two perspectives to propose improvements to the process. Using Guerreiro Ramos and Maurício Serva as a theoretical reference with the perspective of substantive and instrumental rationality used as categories of analysis for this study. The research dev eloped here is an exploratory and descriptive qualitative study, in which data collection will take place through a document analysis and semi structured interviews using the technique of oral history as a methodological tool based on the Meihy approach (2 002). It was interviewed a collaborator from the three institutio ns selected for this study, one large size institution (OSC 01), a medium size one (OSC 02) and a small size one (OSC 03). The survey results indicate that there are inequalities in resource disputes by Third Sector institutions, especially with regard to the size of the institutions interviewed, it was observed that there are apparent challenges and difficulties. However, there are similarities in knowledge and techniques of business administ ration by these institutions, in addition to a coexistence of the two rationalities analyzed, substantive and instrumental, configuring a certain balance between these rationalities. Through what has been explored and discussed, it is clear that profession alization is an indispensable path for the sustainability of thes e institutions, however, there is also a need for the public authorities to adapt their funding tools to the context of third sector organizations that are still in a state of development of their technical capabilities.
