Conselhos municipais: fortalecendo a gestão colaborativa na administraçao pública

Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the participation of municipal councils as a tool for promoting democracy in a collaborative manner at the municipal level. The study analyzed the methods used by the School Food Council and the Health Council during their routine activities, where it was found that their culture fosters inclusion and representativity. It is evident that the organizational structure of the councils facilitates and promotes the development of public policies, going beyond mere debates. To support this study, literature from the Elsevier database was used, corroborating the findings and reinforcing the idea that public participation leads to better ideas, resulting in responsible citizens who envision real public policies. It is increasingly evident that the cooperative creation model brings effectiveness to established policy models, creates democratic spaces, and opens new horizons for the public sector. More in-depth and comparative studies are needed to further strengthen the participation of municipal councils as drivers of better governmental policies.
