This research examined the understanding that participants in the Maruípe Region s Territorial Board (Vitória / ES) have about the intersectoriality and noted how this has been considered in the proposition and implementation of actions for Health Promotion in the territory. Health Promotion actions target social determinants of health to provide access to the basic conditions of existence. However, to help them achieve the social determinantes, intersectorial actions are needed. To solve a particular local problem, the intersectorial actions suppose an integration of different actors and sectors by means of working in a networked organization. In the field of social policies, managing in a networked way has been seen as a solution to manage complex central and local problems. The city of Vitória-ES has been conducting an experiment on this - the Territorial Boards, which are places in which the managers get together in order to deal with common issues of their territories, try to solve the problems in an intersectorial way, and this depends on the understanding of what the participants perceive as intersectoriality. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed by a Collective Subject Discourse, which consists in gathering the individual testimonies in order to compose a single discourse to express a coherent representation regarding the research topic. The analysis results suggest a discursive consensus between the Board members and the Intersectoriality theorists. To the board members, intersectoriality "is articulating to partners within the territory to solve problems." However, tensions and difficulties were detected in this process. They involve the selection of priorities until the intersectorial action s end. This is so because it demands commitment from the participants and a delicate relationship with the community. The Board is considered by its members as a differentiated training place because the training takes place by means of experience exchange. However, its members feel that the board is helpless when confronted by its territory s problems, such as the violence stemmed by the drug traffic. They consider that the intersectoriality is difficult to achieve, nevertheless it is a more advanced attempt to counteract the isolation caused by disarticulated public policies.
