INSTRUMENTOS DE GESTÃO EM SAÚDE AMBIENTAL EM DOIS ESTADOS AMAZÔNICOS: PLANEJAMENTO E AVALIAÇÃO

Abstract

Since 1998, the Brazilian public management uses the Multiyear Plan (PPA) as a tool to formalize the planning of a government for four years. The objective of this study is the evaluation of programs relating to environmental health and its monitoring in two states of the Amazon (Pará and Amapá), based on the PPA 2008-2011. People's needs are assessed by environmental health indicators, the Ministry of Health, and evaluation of indicators follows the methodology for Indicators Program. Partial results show that the area of environmental health is directed to programs for water supply, in the state of Pará, while the state of Amapá also presents programs relating to sanitation and control of air pollution. It is verified also that the two states do not follow a logical method of selection of indicators, with an a priori evaluation of the performance of fledgling programs.
