FERRARINI, Adriane Vieira. Integrated and sustainable local development: a methodology for policies and programs designed to overcome poverty. Interações (Campo Grande) [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.2, pp. 233-241. ISSN 1518-7012.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1518-70122012000200010.

Dispersed and subordinate actions still predominate in programs designed to overcome poverty. The integrated and sustainable local development, used in public policy as its basis and methodology, promoted the strengthening of the people's participation as co-manager, the intersectoral articulation of programs and the activation of endogenous resources in the territory, giving an emancipatory and sustainable dimension to the results.
