Abstract

Several studies concerning the evaluation of social programs have discussed the effectiveness of these programs in coping with poverty. It is in this context that this work, which aimed to analyze the socio-economic impacts of the Bolsa Família Program, circumscribed Angari Neighborhood in Juazeiro, Bahia, from the vision of the program beneficiaries. The work has made a qualitative and quantitava approach and used as data collection techniques semistructured interviews, field observation, coupled with the documentary analysis of institutional reports. This is a descriptive work as a research strategy applied to evaluate programs and policies. The question that arises is whether the articulation of income transfer programs with the expansion and democratization of basic social services allows obtaining advances to combat poverty and inequality. As a result obtained the beneficiaries point to the increase in income and access to consumer goods and investment and maintenance in children's education, however, few advances in social infrastructure and access to other sources of employment and income and coordination on the part of public bodies not to financial dependence on the Bolsa Família Program.
