Abstract

This study presents an experience report on the implementation process of the Support Center for Social Assistance Civil Society Organizations (NOSCas) in the Metropolitan Region of Cariri, during the first semester of the project’s implementation. It was developed within the scope of the National Program for the Coordination and Strengthening of the Social Assistance Network (Aprimora Rede +). The study aims to describe and systematize the actions developed during this first semester of project implementation, with a main focus on the construction process of the methodology for monitoring Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the mapping of organizations, and mobilization strategies. This is an experience report based on a qualitative, exploratory, and participatory approach, developed from the author’s practical involvement and experience as a Scientific Initiation scholarship holder. The data sources consisted of planning meeting records, field reports, project reports, and institutional documents. The results showed that the implementation of NOSCas and the strengthening of the social assistance network occur gradually, involving recognition of the territory and depending on coordination among various social actors.
