A construção de parâmetros e diretrizes de avaliação de políticas públicas com a população em situação de rua: uma análise da participação social

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to examine social participation, specifically the experience of developing parameters and guidelines for the evaluation of public policies with the homeless population. Based on the understanding that existing public policies to address the phenomenon of homelessness are insufficient or ineffective, this research seeks to construct a public policy evaluation model that prioritizes social participation. The adoption of a critical ethnographic approach enabled the researcher’s immersion in the analyzed context, combining thought and action so that this study could contribute to transforming reality. Thus, in collaboration with the Community of Practice established under the guidance of the State Center for the Defense of Human Rights of the Homeless Population and Recyclable Material Collectors (CEDDH - MG), the parameters and evaluation guidelines presented in The Program Evaluation Standards - A Guide for Evaluators and Evaluation Users, developed under the supervision of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation, were examined. The researcher actively participated in the process of constructing evaluation parameters and guidelines for public policies with the homeless population, developed in the framework, and this study is a brief account of this process.
