Terceiro Setor como implementador de políticas públicas: uma análise do instituto Lucimário Caitano sob a ótica dos beneficiários

Abstract

The Lucimário Caitano Institute (ILC) is a Civil Society Organization (CSO) located in the Novo Oriente district of Maracanaú, which seeks to achieve social inclusion through sport. Understanding the multicentric approach in which a public policy is formul ated to solve a public problem, regardless of the actor, this research seeks to examine the Third Sector as an implementer of public policies. To this end, a case study was carried out at the Lucimário Caitano Institute with the aim of analyzing, from the beneficiaries' point of view, the process of implementing public policies for children and young people through the ILC's Sport is Our Energy Project. The study specifically sought to report on the history and actions developed by the organization, identif y how the implementation process of the Sport is Our Energy Project takes place, and finally, discuss the perception of U12 futsal athletes about the importance of social sports projects. The research is qualitative, descriptive and a case study. The data was analyzed through triangulation, supported by simple observation, a literature review and semi structured interviews with the sports manager and 3 (three) U12 athletes. This research revealed the community's demand for sports policies for the s ocial inclusion of children and young people. This revealed how the Third Sector is indispensable for the development of public policies in the face of the State's difficulty in fulfilling its responsibilities, and how it is a tool for popular mobilization . In addition, it was possible to see that the institution has been established in the community through hard work over its 40 years of existence and is a space for dialogue between the community and the state and the private sector.
