Resumo: | In an era marked by globalization and increased economic competitiveness, this study delves into the challenges of addressing socio-economic issues within the context of political economy. It aims to explore how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can effectively address these challenges while facing the difficulties and opportunities that arise from their involvement. Focusing on Programa Escolhas, a long-running Portuguese government-sponsored program to engage disadvantaged teens in difficult neighborhoods, the present project takes an analytical approach that aims to understand the dynamics between political economies and social exclusion, identifying essential building blocks for enhancing social inclusion. NGOs, as relatively new actors in this area, play a vital role in addressing inequities and advocating for special interests, where the key features of effective NGOs include their grounding in "participative democracy," alignment with donors, and supportive government roles. The study emphasizes the need to understand Portugal’s history to effectively grasp these challenges' roots. Conducting case studies of two selected Portuguese NGOs within Programa Escolhas and their initiatives, the dissertation aims to provide insights that can shed light on how NGOs, policymakers, and stakeholders can promote socio-economic progress and inclusive growth. |

Desta forma, o estudo pretende explorar de que forma as organizações não governamentais (ONG) podem enfrentar eficazmente estes desafios, ao mesmo tempo que enfrentam as dificuldades e oportunidades que surgem do seu envolvimento. Centrando-se no Programa Escolhas, um programa de longa data patrocinado pelo Governo Português para envolver adolescentes provenientes de bairros desfavorecidos, esta dissertação adota uma abordagem analítica que visa compreender a dinâmica entre economias políticas e exclusão social, identificando componentes essenciais para reforçar a inclusão social. As ONGs, como intervenientes relativamente recentes nesta conjuntura, desempenham um papel vital na abordagem das desigualdades e injustiças e na defesa de interesses específicos, onde as principais características de ONGs eficazes incluem bases de uma “democracia participativa”, relação de sintonia com os financiadores e por fim as responsabilidades de apoio governamental. O estudo enfatiza a necessidade de compreender a história de Portugal para compreender eficazmente as origens destes desafios. Realizando estudos de caso de duas ONGs portuguesas selecionadas no âmbito do Programa Escolhas e das suas iniciativas, a dissertação pretende fornecer informações que possam dar uma perspetiva sobre como as ONG, os atores políticos e intervenientes podem promover um progresso socioeconómico e um crescimento inclusivo acrescido.2024-01-22T12:29:47Z2023-12-14T00:00:00Z2023-12-142023-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/30498TID:203440480engTavares, Luísa Matilde Nevesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-28T01:20:23Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/30498Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:58:19.303063Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
