Abstract:

Aging is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that requires different types of public policies. In 2002, the National Council for the Rights of the Elderly (CNDI) was created as a governance structure to strengthen the guarantee of rights through articulation between sectors of government and civil society. The article aims to analyze the CNDIthe description of the institutional configuration and characterization of its action in the proposal of strategies of implementation and monitoring of the main policies for the elderly. The analytical framework of public policy analysis was used, with emphasis on the concept of governance; laws and documents, highlighting the minutes of Council meetings, as well as semi-structured interviews. As a result, it was possible to attest to the importance of these spaces that allow the influence and control of institutionalized civil society over the State. However, it was observed difficulties of referral of the actions, obstacles in the relationship between the social actors; and insufficient involvement of some government agencies. In the face of accelerated demographic changes, social inequalities and vulnerability of the elderly population, this governance strategy per se has not been sufficient to ensure the realization of the rights envisaged.
