FONSECA, Sérgio; LORENZO, Helena  and  RAMALHEIRO, Geralda. International cooperation for endogenous development: experience and lessons from the Programa Brasil Próximo. GOT [online]. 2018, n.14, pp.201-224. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.14.008.

This article reports on and evaluates the course and results of a decentralized international cooperation program signed between the Federal Government of Brazil and the Ministry of External Relations of Italy and conducted its activities between 2010 and 2015. Taking as reference the literature on contemporary conceptions of local development, the article addresses and problematizes the following aspects of the Programa Brasil Próximo: a) the coordination and governance of a program marked essentially by its diversity, multidisciplinarity and decentralization; b) the effectiveness of the results, based on the materialization of evidence of development in the territories subject to program intervention.

Keywords : Local development; Cooperation; Experiences; Brasil Próximo.
