Abstract

The aim of this research is to make a summative assessment of the Green Municipalities Program, devised by the Government of the State of Pará, Brazil. The program works with seven goals previously established, aiming to contribute to control and fight against deforestation, land regularization, enforce to the municipal environmental management and support the sustainable local development. This research did do two different evaluations. The first assessment analyzed the expected results for the program, using secondary data which is available in the public platform of the program on the web, through a document named “ficha completa”. The analysis concluded that on average 44% of the municipalities were ranked with high-levels of achieved goals, 41% of the municipalities were ranked with medium-levels of achieved goals and 15% of the municipalities were ranked with low-levels of achieved goals. The second evaluation was applied, using an exploratory method and based on primary data. The research applied a questionnaire with predominantly closed questions, aiming to analyze the achieved results in local perspective and the interaction between the municipal actions and the endogenous development theory. The analysis concluded that the evaluated municipalities are positively associated to the expected results for the Program and to the factors of the endogenous development theory.
