Dissertação (Mestrado em Administração Pública) - Escola de Governo Professor Paulo Neves de Carvalho da Fundação João Pinheiro, 2025.https://repositorio.fjp.mg.gov.br/handle/123456789/4520The Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) has participation as one of its fundamental principles, which is mainly exercised through management councils and health conferences. This dissertation aims to analyze the relationship between the state health conferences held in Minas Gerais and the incorporation of their deliberations into government planning, focusing on public policies related to women9s health. The research question guiding this study was: to what extent do the deliberations of state health conferences influence the formulation of public policies for women in the state? The research is based on a qualitative approach, using documentary analysis of conference reports and State Health Plans, as well as semi-structured interviews with female actors involved in the participatory process and government management of SUS-MG. The analytical framework is developed from the perspective of hermeneutic-dialectical analysis (MINAYO, 2002, 2004, 2012). The study adopts, as a theoretical reference, discussions on democratic theory, participatory institutions – focusing on conferences – and the feminist movement in Brazil, including its history, demands, and influence on health policies. The results indicate that although health conferences are important spaces for participation and deliberation, their effectiveness in policy formulation still faces challenges. It was found that there is a gap between the guidelines approved in these spaces and their incorporation into State Health Plans, with this discrepancy being influenced by factors such as government ideology, the technical capacity of public administration, and institutional resistance to certain agendas. Additionally, it was observed that female participation in these processes, although significant, does not ensure full representation of gender, class, and racial diversity, limiting the scope of policies from an intersectional perspective. The research highlights the need to improve mechanisms that ensure greater effectiveness in incorporating conference deliberations into government planning. It is suggested that future studies expand the analysis to other federative units and adopt comparative approaches that provide a broader view of the impact of participatory institutions on the formulation of public policies aimed at women's health.open accessPolíticas públicasMinas GeraisInstituições participativasFeminismoConferência de saúdeDissertaçãoCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ADMINISTRACAO::ADMINISTRACAO PUBLICA
