Abstract

The research developed in this study is an analysis of the National Health Council and the Subnational Councils, formed by the State Councils and Municipal Health Councils. It is a way of understanding the construction process of public policy networks and its role as the main citizen participatory space institutionalized by law in Brazil. This study presents the results obtained from a survey developed between the years 2006 to 2010, at the University of Brasilia. Its objective is to seek a broadening of citizen participation spaces supported by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), to form an effective network for constructing sectorial policies in Brazilian healthcare. The current work aims to fill in a gap in studies about improving citizen participation in Brazil, in order to establish new ways for expanding the network formed by the councils and the consequent improvement in the collaborative spaces within the decision making process.
