Abstract

The purpose of this research was to verify how in practice the participation of the Piauí society in the National Land Credit Program. This concern arose in identifying that Piauí is a state marked by the oligarchization of power with clientelistic practices and that the core of the program on screen is democratic with effective participation of society in an autonomous way and social control. The combination of these two systems of opposing essences resulted in the following findings in Piracuruca, Piauí: a) through the quantitative analysis there was a strong participation of civil society in the National Land Credit Program; b) through a qualitative view, it was observed that the Center for Education and Environmental Assessment, which is solely responsible for the technical advice of the settlements in Piracuruca, has been present throughout the process since the formation of the associations, in the approval of the proposals in the Municipal Council of Sustainable Rural Development and even in the composition of the PT, party of the current governor.
