Social Agricultural Program (PSA)
The Social Agricultural Program (PSA) was a tool for improving the conditions of rural families through the joint work of the state with producer organizations from their own communities. Technical, financial and organizational-assistance activities were promoted through a comprehensive approach to problems, taking into account natural resources, health, trade and education. In particular, the program was sought to strengthen the activity of producers around two axes: self-consumption and Associative Productive Ventures (EPAs). A central objective of this process was to respect the cultural and historical processes and the trajectories of the social actors involved.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
