INTERCONNECTED WORK AND INTERSECTORIALITY IN THE PUBLIC POLICIES OF LEISURE AND SPORT OF OURO PRETO / MG

Abstract

The promotion of social rights is increasingly directed to municipal administrations and, in view of this, this study  sought to analyze the public policies of leisure and sport developed in Ouro Preto  (MG), with the intention of identifying relationships based on intersectionality and interconnected work between different organs of the municipal public administration. For this, we used the semi-structured interview, as interlocutors’ managers of the Municipal Departments of Sport and Leisure, Education, Culture and Heritage, Tourism, Social Development, Health, Environment and Constructions. Three categories of analysis were outlined, the first being dedicated to connected or intersectoral work in development in the municipality, underlining the projects that present this perspective, even timidly. The second category presents the challenges for implementing intersectoral or interconnect work. The third axis shares networking opportunities that may be the target of future institutional efforts. It is concluded that the public policies of leisure and sport in Ouro Preto occur in a punctual and disjointed way of a systematized municipal policy, with difficulties of dialogue between the sectors of public administration. Were found possibilities of intersectoral work in existing actions, and it is up to the executive power to capitate and organize the institutional work.
