In European countries, public policies in rural areas between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century begin to be restructured from the perspective of Rural Territorial Development. In Brazil, the debates on Development emerge through the historical structural obstacles of the rural. In the mid-1990s, the implementation of decentralized public policies came to the fore in the face of pressure from social movements, trade unions and the need to overcome rural poverty, especially in the poorest regions, such as the Northeast and the North. In this context, public policies directed to family agriculture stand out, notably the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (PRONAF). This program initially presented three main lines of financing: capacity building; infrastructure and services; and rural credit. From the perspective of Rural Territorial Development, the National Program for Sustainable Rural Development (PRONAT) implemented in 2003 and the Territory of Citizenship Program (PTC) in 2008 were highlighted. The PRONAF Infrastructure and Services financing line was implemented between 1996 and 2002. The insertion of this line in municipal scale presented conflicts and contradictions that caused changes in its policy and scale of action. In 2003, this line was integrated with PRONAT and was renamed "Actions of Infrastructure and Services Projects" (PROINF). In compliance with PRONAT, PROINF begins to operate in the territorial dimension. The general objective of PROINF is to finance infrastructure projects and services that induce Rural Territorial Development. In this context, we sought to analyze the actions of Infrastructure and Services Projects (PROINF) in the Citizenship Territory of the Middle Sertão of Alagoas under the perspective of Rural Territorial Development. The reality of the Middle Hinterland was interpreted on the basis of the hypothetical-deductive (empirical-analytical) method. The methodological procedures were: bibliographic research, documentary research and field research. In the field studies the following research techniques were used: participant observation, photographic record, informal interview and semi-structured interview. The Territory do Middle Sertão has a total of thirteen contracts of PROINF's related to the acquisition of equipment, vehicles and infrastructure. Of these contracts, six were completed, two are in normal situation, two are paralyzed, two have not yet been started and one project has a delayed status. Between 2005 and 2016, it was verified that the investments in the PROINF's actions in the Middle Sertão of Alagoas were made inoperative for the family farmers of the Territory. Without realizing the purpose of the projects, the Rural Territorial Development policy is put at risk. In addition, the proposal to strengthen family agriculture is compromised and productive autonomy is reduced to dependence.
