Dear
reaDEr:
We
are translating the summary of PACS' Action Plan
2007-2011 into English. We excuse ourselves for the
information out of date. The new content will soon be
available on this webpage.
Program
for the 2004-2006 three year term
1.
Globalisation and Eco-Development
Main
goal of the program
To
establish development policies and practices designed
and implemented with the aim to reach a continental
and global integration of the nations in a fair,
cooperative-like and solidarity-based manner, ensuring
both the social and economic rights of the nations and
the process of overcoming inequities and injustices.
The
Globalisation and Eco-Development program is based on
three projects: (1) Debt and
Trade; (2) Multilateral Financing Institutions and
Public budget and adjustments; (3) Women and Economy.
This is the work field of PACS on a large scale, which
has been carried out since its creation in 1986.
Besides focusing on a large scale sphere, PACS´
actions are directed to bringing down those large
scale issues to a middle and small scale sphere by
means of translating, in the language and vocabulary
of the social movements, those complex concepts and
processes which influence the daily life of the
nations.

Main
goal of the program
To
create a Brazilian and worldwide society extracting
its organizational principles from the dynamics of the
Solidarity-based Cooperation Networks, built upon the
values and practices of the Solidarity-based
Socio-Economics on which the economic activity is
organized, in order to assist in the human and social
development and to ensure the importance of female and
male workers under the leadership of a democratic and
participative state.
Since
1996, PACS has been part of the Solidarity-based state
movement in Rio de Janeiro, which discusses, educates,
informs and strengthens production groups and formal
and informal self-managed partnerships.
In
order to improve the dynamics, potential and strength
of the networks, forums, self-managed and
solidarity-based movements will ensure the building up
of a popular hegemony and the development of
relationships based on such values and practices as
cooperation, reciprocity and the sustainability of our
Planet.
The
idea is to boost the solidarity-based productive
chains which allow workers, entrepreneurs and
consumers to escape from the maze created by Capital
and its derived crises. The movement has grown thanks
to the sharing of experiences and the adaptation to
each local reality. The larger the diversity gets, the
greater the flow and feedback grow, that is to say,
the stronger the chains become.
This
program includes the following projects:
-
spreading of the solidarity-based Socio-Economics
-
developing and connecting Networks
-
a reference centre for solidarity-based
Socio-Economics

Main
goal of the program
To
help communities, undertakings and groups of people to
become aware, get informed and be able to manage the
development of their potential in an autonomous and
self-managed manner, opening fields for intervention
and intensifying such practices which involve
transforming actions.
The program will favour the development of instruments
capable of questioning the foundations that contribute
to the increasing inequities of Brazil and of proving
that it is possible to set up other kinds of political
and economic relationships which will improve the life
standard of the people involved. It is divided into
two projects: "Eco-Development
and Self-Management" and "Political and
Cultural Citizenship".
In the "Eco-Development and
Self-Management" project,
the highlight is on the actions in the
Solidarity-based Exchange Networks (SEN) and in the
Popular Cooperative Forum (PCF) among other
initiatives supported by PACS. Through the
socio-economics viability effort and the support given
to the planning of activities and to the groups, the
intention is to influence their performances, aiming
at the possibility of creating productive chains
capable of expanding consumption and production, thus
making a major change in their economic situation.
The
exchange system is also an important instrument that
allows to question the role of money, the value of
labour and accumulation, therefore trying to unveil
the potential of groups and individuals and contribute
to an increase of the economic and political power of
local people.
The
"Cultural and Political Citizenship" project
will
continue the actions of PACS in the region of
Jacarepaguá, encouraging specially groups of young
people to build Networks capable of promoting
articulated cultural and political actions, through
the use, among other resources, of available
city-council budget and the development of the ability
to critically analyse the effects of the Pan-American
Games of 2007 which will be held in this region.

To
centre on PACS programs, administration and projects
team that are important because of their working
process and that act with great convergence and
synergy.
Since 1999, PACS has invested in the internal
strengthening of the team through: (1) a collective
decision space -The Managing Collective-, (2) a
space for the exchange, dialogue and collective
study -the gathering - and (3) a reorganization of
the administrative structure in order to help
improve the relationship between Teams and Programs,
thus allowing to focus on the results obtained.
Since then, the consequences of this effort can be
seen in the registry of activities and accountant
books, in the certifications that have been granted
and in the opinion of external auditors, all of
which can be taken as signs of growing credibility,
acknowledgement and transparency.
By
creating spaces for dialogue and collective decision,
PACS has started a process of reflection that
includes the acknowledgement of its practices, of
its working philosophy, of its external image and of
the need of its team to improve, by encouraging
individual and collective training and self-training.
These process and structure are in tune with the
self-managing character of PACS as a Social
Association, devoted to Socio-Economic research and
advisory, to education and to the production of
educational and information material.
Since
its creation, the program has been working as an
essential support for all the activities of the
institution and it is made up of four working areas:
Management, Administration and
Finances, Computing Science and Communication.
Each of these areas interacts as a basic support
structure for the other programs.
