SUMMARY:

The participation of social movements and civil society actors in the process of
developing social programs and policies is one of the defining features of brazilian
democracy in the post-transition era. In the context of political change in the country,
marked by the transition from the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) administration to the Lula III
(PT) administration, a series of experiences in organization, activism, and social
mobilization by popular movements led to the creation of the Solidarity Kitchen
Program (PNCS). Among these experiences, the solidarity kitchens project of the
Homeless Workers’ Movement (MTST) stands out, recognized as a leading actor not
only in the creation and dissemination of the kitchens’ model but also in the
institutionalization of a social technology within a public policy. Beyond the MTST,
from Lula's (PT) election until the regulation of the PNCS in 2024, various social
actors influenced and participated in the process of formulating and regulating the
policy. In this context, the overall objective of this study is to investigate how and to
what extent the demands of social movements related to the availability and
provision of food in community kitchens were integrated into the government’s
agenda. To this end, the study is based on three specific objectives: (a) to identify the
main demands and claims related to the food supply agenda raised by the social
movements that participated in the regulation of the Program - the MTST, the
Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST), and the Small Farmers’ Movement

(MPA); (b) to identify and characterize the forms of networked interaction established
between these social actors and other actors within the scope of the Program; and
(c) to analyze whether, how, and to what extent these demands were met, based on
the analysis of secondary data and the assessment of the social actors themselves.
To achieve these objectives, the research employs a methodology that combines (a)
a literature review and analysis; (b) analysis of primary and secondary data provided
by the Ministry of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger (MDS), the National
Supply Company (Conab), the Transparency Portal, PNCS partner managing
entities, and other secondary sources; and (c) conducting semi-structured interviews
with social and state actors to collect primary data.
