SUMMARY:

The thesis deals with Social Organizations (SOs) in the provision of public services and aims to make, in the light of the theory of games, an adequate design for the efficient provision of quality services by SOs, analyzing the existing incentives in this partnership model in Brazil. Considering the relevance of the role of SOs in the provision of public services in the country, and that, more than twenty years after the institution of the OSs model, in the provision of public services in the country, there is no crystallized pattern of implementation of this form of partnership between the State and non-profit organizations, it is necessary to undertake a review of the current incentives included in this relationship in favor of a model that favors the quality of services and the achievement of results. Thus, the present study proposes to analyze the existing incentives in this service provision system and to develop and present an incentive design that describes a successful partnership in the achievement of public services, considering the efficiency of expenditure and the quality of services. For this purpose, partnerships via state and municipal OSs were analyzed, according to fortunate and unfortunate experiences and, based on the information learned, a model was built based on the Theory of Information and Incentives with a view to theoretically specifying the strengths and vulnerabilities present in this format of partnership. A statistical study was also carried out, using the Newcomb-Benford Law, in order to test the reasonableness of the theoretical model developed. As a result of the work, regarding the possibilities of changes in the design of the mechanism that regulates this relationship, with a view to better taking advantage of the advantages and reducing the vulnerabilities of the partnership model via OSs, the following strategies stand out: changes that promote contracting with altruistic organizations; redefinition of granting subsidies and exemptions for non-profit institutions, linking them to the results delivered by the organization; institution of incentives to obtain resources via donations; changes that promote contracting with organizations that have expertise in carrying out the activity that is the object of the partnership; institution of awards granted by the government or by private institutions in partnership with the government, in recognition of the provision of excellent services; improvement of transparency rules; institution of an official and public website to record complaints of corruption and poor service provision, as well as to record praise for the work of Social Organizations that partner the State; constitution of central groups in governments, within the scope of each federal entity, specific to manage the State's partner OSs, which act as disseminators of good practices and ideas capable of generating social benefit; and inclusion of a device in the management contract that provides for a form of recognition, compensation or reimbursement of expenses incurred by OS, with own resources applied in activities directed to the object of the contract.
