Abstract:

The decentralization process has a strong impact on the finances of Small-Sized Municipalities (SSMs) and these are the most vulnerable entity of the federation. It aimed to analyze the main problems and management strategies used by the SSMs to address the inequalities resultedthe decentralization process. This is qualitative research developed through operative groups with 55 workersthe management teams of SSMs in the northern macro-region of Parana. A comprehensive and interpretative analysis was conducted using the Social Game Theory as a theoretical reference. Among the problems are the insufficient capacity to manage municipalities and provide comprehensive health care to citizens. The constitution of Inter-Municipal Health Consortiums, the purchase of services through parallel contracts with private providers, and the adhesion to state and federal programs are strategies to address the problems, but they trigger an exchange of problems. In order to minimize the vulnerability of the SSMs, it is necessary to foster the empowerment of the municipal manager, implement processes of listening to the SSMs and culture of facing the problems in a collective and shared way among the federated entities, so that there is an interfederative management.
