Diretrizes do orçamento participativo dos municípios de Porto Alegre/RS, Belo Horizonte/MG e Miguel Calmon/BA: estudo com vistas à viabilidade de sua implementação no município de Madre de Deus/BA

Abstract

The instruments for planning and budgeting government actions and the principles of participatory democracy were included in the Federal Constitution of Brazil in 1988, in the context of the representative political system. These achievements have strengthened the innovative public management experiences that began in the late 1980s, with the Participatory Budget (PB) being a key element for debates, studies and innovations in the process of aggregating popular participation in the guidelines and actions of the local power represented by city halls. The exploratory research aims to develop a participatory budgeting model as a reference to be implemented in the municipality of Madre de Deus / BA. Therefore, normative and organizational analyzes adopted, totally or partially, in the municipalities of Porto Alegre / RS, Belo Horizonte / MG and Miguel Calmon / BA, were used as a support to understand the actions they experienced, creating the possibility of developing indicative parameters for implementation of PB in the municipality of Madre de Deus / BA. The comparative method was used as an approach methodology, through analysis and synthesis, as well as a procedure, using relevant bibliographic review documents, through consultation of the contents of electronic sites and printed bibliography, manuals, reports, and on-site visits. The results obtained revealed the diversity of methods and practices used in a PB Program, as well as the lack of a single model or standard to be followed, although Porto Alegre program has become an international reference in the exportation of practices in participatory management of budget on the local scale. The analysis of the participatory, socioeconomic and financial dimensions, including the administrative structure in the municipality of Madre de Deus / BA, demonstrated the possibility of enabling the adoption of the Participatory Budget, which allows suggesting the initial parameters and implementing the operational cycle through the model proposed.
