From the 1990s the Amazon became the target of development projects and research directed to the conservation of nature. One of these initiatives was the ProVárzea, project linked to PPG7 facing the management of floodplain ecosystems of central Amazon Basin. This study analyzes the results, impacts and lessons from the ProVárzea support regarding participatory management projects of Amazonian natural resources. In the period 2004-2007, were conducted technical visits and realized meetings involving beneficiaries, technicians and coordinators to each one of the projects supported. Additionally, reports of implementation of activities of the experiences of developed systems were analyzed. During six years, the ProVárzea project invested an amount of R$ 8.928.834,34 among 25 supported projects, benefiting 115.486 people in 39 municipalities in the states of Amazonas and Pará, and promoting management in approximately 100.000 ha of terrestrial and water ecosystems. The supported projects have developed innovative systems of natural resource management in four thematic areas - management of fishery resources, forest resources management, institutional strengthening and agriculture. The model of use and participative management of natural resource practiced by the institutions and communities supported by ProVárzea represented a new way of integrating the state shares with organized civil society, contributing to social, economic and environmental sustainability in the Amazon.Keywords: Amazon; Sustenable development; Public policies.
