Cuidado desde a semente: o orçamento e a contribuição do Fundo Nacional para Crianças e Adolescentes na promoção de políticas públicas

Abstract

This work aims to analyze public policies for children and adolescents developed through the National Fund for Children and Adolescents (FNCA). The Brazilian Federal Constitution developed a system of protection for the rights of children and adolescents, including the priority allocation of public resources. The National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (CONANDA) is responsible for managing this fund and has the task of deliberating on public policies that will be executed through the public resources allocated to FNCA. The methodology used involved a literature review on the rights of children and adolescents and on the FNCA, document analysis of legislation and other public documents on the studied topic, as well as a comparison between the planned expenses in the CONANDA's application plans with their budget execution available on the Transparency Portal of the Union. It was found that the application plans cover socially relevant policies, and there are significant amounts allocated to the Fund, however, after the budget execution analysis, there is a discrepancy in the expenses that were executed.
