The role of stakeholders in the formulation of Pronatec

Abstract At all stages of the public policy cycle, the importance of various stakeholders can be verified, either by approving, influencing, implementing, monitoring or helping to modify actions and decisions. Considering that the stakeholder analysis aims at determining the relevance of the stakeholders in a project or policy, the objective of this article is to map the stakeholders involved in the formulation process of the National Program for Access to Technical Teaching and Employment (Pronatec) and to understand the performance and their influence on the process. The qualitative research method was used, through content analysis of formal documents and interviews with program managers. From the mapping of the stakeholders, they were classified according to the model of Savage and collaborators (1991), whose result revealed the potential of each stakeholder to threaten or collaborate with the program.
