The effectiveness of ward committees and community participation in influencing service delivery in eThekwini Municipality
Authors:   , Duma Sikhumbuzo Sikhosiphi
Published: May 2023

The study focused on evaluating the role of Ward Committees relative to encouraging community participation in the eThekwini Municipality. It must be noted that the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa highlights the importance of public participation as an essential element of successful good governance. The wave of service delivery protests in the country prompted the desire to explore this study. The Municipal Structures Act (Act No. 117 of 1998) provides for the establishment of Ward Committees. The Act provides clear guidelines for Ward Committees hence, Section 72 states that the objective of a Ward Committee is to enhance participatory democracy in local government. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of Ward Committees and Community Participation in influencing service delivery in eThekwini Municipality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Ward Committees and community participation in influencing service delivery in eThekwini Municipality. The study used both the qualitative and quantitative research approaches for this research. The interview participants of the study were the Ward Councillors in Wards 95, 96 and 105 and the respondents were from the above wards. The study revealed that the Ward Committee members did not entirely understand their roles. Furthermore, the study revealed that the Ward Councillors tend to overshadow the Ward Committee members to the extent that the general community members end up dealing directly with the Ward Councillor even on issues that otherwise would have been handled by the respective portfolios of the ward committee. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended, amongst other things, that training and development of the residents on when, how and why they should participate in municipal affairs must be provided on a regular basis. Furthermore, the qualitative interviews with participants revealed the need for a review of the system of Ward Committees because the Structures Act contradicts itself at times. For example, the Act requires that, in addition to a fair representation of genders, the Ward Committee must represent a diversity of interests within the ward and limits the number of the Ward Committee to ten. In real life, interests may exceed the limit of ten as prescribed by the Act.

Implementation of a Simple Actuator Disc for Large Eddy Simulation (SADLES-V1.0) in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (V4.3.1) for Wind Turbine Wake Simulation
Authors: Bui Hai , Bakhoday-Paskyabi Mostafa , Mohammadpour-Penchah Mohammadreza
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The development of wind energy in recent years has made the representation of wind turbines in numerical models essential for wind resource and environmental assessment. In this study, we introduce a new wind turbine model, the Simple Actuator Disk for Large Eddy Simulation (SADLES), parameterized in the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. Our goal is to perform realistic downscaling of large eddy simulation, so we integrated SADLES and the cell perturbation method as WRF modules and released the code as open-source for further research. We demonstrate the effectiveness of SADLES by comparing a large eddy simulation of a 5-MW wind turbine using the WRF-SADLES with the Parallelized Large-eddy simulation Model (PALM), showing that SADLES can simulate wind turbine wakes effectively at an intermediate resolution of a few dozen meters. Furthermore, we show the applicability of SADLES in wind farm assessment by downscaling the ERA5 reanalysis data to study turbine-to-turbine and farm-to-farm interactions for the Alpha Ventus wind farm. In our case study, due to the wind farm to the southwest, the ambient wind speed at Alpha Ventus is reduced by 14 % and the average turbine power is reduced by 35 %. SADLES provides a promising balance between computational efficiency and accuracy for wind turbine wake simulations and has potential applications in wind energy assessment and wind farm construction planning.

Abstract. arbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the troposphere are decreasing globally, with Africa as an exception. Yet, the region is understudied, with a deficit of ground-based observations and highly uncertain CO emission inventories. This paper reports multi-year observational CO data from the Mt. Kenya Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) station, as well as summertime CO isotope observations from both Mt. Kenya and Nairobi, Kenya. The CO variability at Mt. Kenya is characterized by slightly increased concentrations during dry periods and a strong influence of short-term pollution events While multi-year data gaps complicate decadal-scale trend analysis, no overall long-term shift can be resolved. High pollution events are consistent with isotopic signal from downwind savanna fires. The isotope fingerprint of CO in Nairobi indicate an overwhelming dominance (near 100 %) of primary emissions from fossil fuel combustion – with implications for air pollution policy. In contrast, the isotope signature of CO intercepted at the large footprint Mt. Kenya region suggests at least 70 % primary sourced, with a predominance likely from, savanna fires in Africa. Taken together, this study provides quantitative constraints of primary vs secondary CO in the eastern Africa region and in urban Nairobi, with implications for satellite-based emission inventories as well as for chemical-transport and climate- modelling.
Glacial-interglacial Circumpolar Deep Water temperatures during the last 800,000 years: estimates from a synthesis of bottom water temperature reconstructions
Authors: Chandler David M. , Langebroek Petra M.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Future climate and sea-level projections depend sensitively on the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to ocean-driven melting and the resulting freshwater fluxes into the Southern Ocean. Incursion of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) across the Antarctic continental shelf, and into cavities beneath ice shelves, is increasingly recognised as a crucial heat source for ice shelf melt. Quantifying past changes in the temperature of CDW is therefore of great benefit for modelling ice sheet response to past warm climates, for validating paleoclimate models, and for putting recent and projected changes in CDW temperature into context. Here we synthesise the few available bottom water temperature reconstructions representative of CDW and its principal source water mass (North Atlantic Deep Water) over the past 800 kyr. Estimated CDW temperature anomalies consistently reached ca. −2 °C during glacial periods, warming to +0.1 to +0.5 °C during the strongest interglacials (marine isotope stages MIS 11, 9, 5, and 1). The temperature anomaly in MIS 7 was comparatively cooler at ca. −0.6 °C. Despite high variance amongst a small number of records, and poor (4 kyr) temporal resolution, we find persistent and close relationships between our estimated CDW temperature and Southern Ocean sea-surface temperature, Antarctic surface air temperature, and global ocean temperature reconstructions at glacial cycle time scales. Given the important role that CDW plays in connecting the world's three main ocean basins, and in driving Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss, additional temperature reconstructions targeting CDW are urgently needed to increase temporal resolution and to decrease uncertainty in past CDW temperatures – whether for use as a boundary condition, model validation or in their own right.
Production of knowledge on climate change perception – actors, approaches, and dimensions
Authors: Zorn Anika , Schäfer Susann , Tzschabran Sophie
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Research on perceptions of climate change impacts contributes to understanding motivations for adaptation action and increases the legitimacy of climate adaptation research and policy. The body of literature on climate change perception (CCP) is extensive. Given that the perception of climate change is commonly presented as being dependent on an individual's sociocultural and spatial contexts and that climate change is an abstract concept with different dimensions of meaning, this paper systematizes the research in an actor-centered manner. Using a systematic literature review, the abstracts from 821 interdisciplinary studies on CCP were coded and statistically analyzed. The results show that predominantly knowledge about the CCP of vulnerable groups of actors and regions was generated using quantitative methods. Impacts at the collective and institutional levels of CCP were rarely explored. This indicates an individualizing perspective of research on climate adaptation of vulnerable actors. Conclusions for future research are drawn.
GEB v0.1: a large-scale agent-based socio-hydrological model – simulating 10 million individual farming households in a fully distributed hydrological model
Authors: de Bruijn Jens A. , Smilovic Mikhail , Burek Peter , Guillaumot Luca , Wada Yoshihide , Aerts Jeroen C. J. H.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Humans play a large role in the hydrological system, e.g.
by extracting large amounts of water for irrigation, often resulting in
water stress and ecosystem degradation. By implementing large-scale
adaptation measures, such as the construction of irrigation reservoirs,
water stress and ecosystem degradation can be reduced. Yet we know that many
decisions, such as the adoption of more effective irrigation techniques or
changing crop types, are made at the farm level by a heterogeneous farmer
population. While these decisions are usually advantageous for an individual
farmer or their community, aggregate effects of those decisions can have
large effects downstream. Similarly, decisions made by other stakeholders,
such as governments, often have basin-wide effects and affect each farmer
differently. To fully comprehend how the human–natural water system evolves
over time and space and to explore which interventions are suitable to
reduce water stress, it is important to consider human behaviour and
feedbacks to the hydrological system simultaneously at the local household
and large basin scales. Therefore, we present the Geographical,
Environmental, and Behavioural (GEB) model, a coupled agent-based
hydrological model that simulates the behaviour and daily bidirectional
interaction of more than 10 million individual farm households with the
hydrological system on a personal laptop. Farmers exhibit autonomous
heterogeneous behaviour based on their characteristics, assets, environment,
management policies, and social network. Examples of behaviour are
irrigation, generation of income from selling crops, and investment in
adaptation measures. Meanwhile, reservoir operators manage the amount of
water available for irrigation and river discharge. All actions can be taken
at a daily time step and influence the hydrological system directly or
indirectly. GEB is dynamically linked with the spatially distributed
grid-based hydrological model CWatM at 30′′ resolution (< 1 km at the
Equator). Because many smallholder farm fields are much smaller than
1 × 1 km, CWatM was specifically adapted to implement dynamically
sized hydrological response units (HRUs) at the farm level, providing each
agent with an independently operated hydrological environment. While the
model could be applied anywhere globally at both large and small scales, we
explore its implementation in the heavily managed Krishna basin in India,
which encompasses ∼ 8 % of India's land area and
∼ 12.1 million farmers.
ChemicalDrift 1.0: an open-source Lagrangian chemical-fate and transport model for organic aquatic pollutants

Published: May 2023

Abstract. A new model for transport and fate of chemicals in the aquatic environment is presented. The tool, named ChemicalDrift, is integrated into the open-source Lagrangian framework OpenDrift and is hereby presented for organic compounds. The supported chemical processes include the degradation, the volatilization, and the partitioning between the different phases that a target chemical can be associated with in the aquatic environment, e.g. dissolved, bound to suspended particles, or deposited to the seabed sediments. The dependencies of the chemical processes on changes in temperature, salinity, and particle concentration are formulated and implemented. The chemical-fate modelling is combined with wide support for hydrodynamics by the integration within the Lagrangian framework which provides e.g. advection by ocean currents, diffusion, wind-induced turbulent mixing, and Stokes drift generated by waves. A flexible interface compatible with a wide range of available metocean data is made accessible by the integration, making the tool easily adaptable to different spatio-temporal scales and fit for modelling of complex coastal regions. Further inherent capabilities of the Lagrangian approach include the seamless tracking and separation of multiple sources, e.g. pollutants emitted from ships or from rivers or water treatment plants. Specific interfaces to a dataset produced by a model of emissions from shipping and to an unstructured-grid oceanographic model of the Adriatic Sea are provided. The model includes a database of chemical parameters for a set of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons and a database of emission factors for different chemicals found in discharged waters from sulfur emission abatement systems in marine vessels. A post-processing tool for generating mean concentrations of a target chemical, over customizable spatio-temporal grids, is provided. Model development and simulation results demonstrating the functionalities of the model are presented, while tuning of parameters, validation, and reporting of numerical results are planned as future activities. The ChemicalDrift model flexibility, functionalities, and potential are demonstrated through a selection of examples, introducing the model as a freely available and open-source tool for chemical fate and transport that can be applied to assess the risks of contamination by organic pollutants in the aquatic environment.
A signal-processing-based interpretation of the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency
Authors: Duc Le , Sawada Yohei
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) is a widely used score in
hydrology, but it is not common in the other environmental sciences. One of the
reasons for its unpopularity is that its scientific meaning is somehow
unclear in the literature. This study attempts to establish a solid
foundation for the NSE from the viewpoint of signal progressing. Thus, a
simulation is viewed as a received signal containing a wanted signal
(observations) contaminated by an unwanted signal (noise). This view
underlines an important role of the error model between simulations and
observations. By assuming an additive error model, it is easy to point out that the NSE is
equivalent to an important quantity in signal processing: the
signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the NSE and the Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE)
are shown to be equivalent, at least when there are no biases, in the sense
that they measure the relative magnitude of the power of noise to the power
of the variation in observations. The scientific meaning of the NSE suggests a
natural way to define NSE=0 as the threshold for good or bad model
distinction, and this has no relation to the benchmark simulation that is
equal to the observed mean. Corresponding to NSE=0, the threshold of the KGE
is given by approximately 0.5. In the general cases, when the additive error model is replaced by a mixed
additive–multiplicative error model, the traditional NSE is shown to be
prone to contradiction in model evaluations. Therefore, an extension of the NSE
is derived, which only requires one to divide the traditional noise-to-signal ratio by the multiplicative bias. This has a practical implication: if the
multiplicative bias is not considered, the traditional NSE and KGE underestimate or overestimate the generalized NSE and KGE when the multiplicative bias is greater or smaller than one, respectively. In particular, the observed mean turns out to
be the worst simulation from the viewpoint of the generalized NSE.

Generation-Z is synonymous with individualistic culture, loves to watch, tends not to like reading, instant generation where anything can be achieved by search engines via the internet. This has led to Generation-Z's indifference to their environment and their future fate which will face a demographic bonus. This ignorant and individualistic attitude has earned them the nickname of a generation that looks down and has no room for comment. Through the awareness of a Public Service Announcement entitled Stereotype-Z, this Generation-Z image was tried to be awakened. Using a phenomenological approach and Charles Sander Peirce's semiotic methods, this Stereotype-Z public service advertisement reveals the various problems faced by Generation-Z and its challenges in the future.

Dunia sedang mengalami pergeseran. Tanpa disadari hal tersebut meninggalkan banyak permasalahan dalam lingkup global. Berbagai negara di dunia melalui organisasi PBB bahkan telah merumuskan berbagai permasalahan tersebut dalam satu rumusan yang dikenal sebagai SDG - Sustainable Develoment Goals. Masyarakat harus beradaptasi di masa depan dengan HOTS - High Order Thinking Skills. Pola pikir ini menuntut manusia untuk berpikir secara kompleks, berjenjang dan sistematis. Inilah yang kemudian disebut sebagai cara berpikir tingkat tinggi di era baru Society 5.0. Sebuah produk desain tentu saja tidak lahir begitu saja. Produk tersebut lahir dari sebuah proses yang terstruktur dan sistematis. Dalam konteks kegiatan mendesain, proses ini disebut sebagai Design Thinking. Istilah ini merupakan sebuah pola pikir dan perspektif dalam melihat sebuah permasalahan dan menemukan solusinya. Design Thinking sangat dibutuhkan di dalam setiap tapahan dalam proses desain. Tahapan-tahapan tersebut antara lain : (1). Defined, (2). Research, (3). Ideate, (4). Prototyping, (5). Selection, (6). Implementation dan (7). Learning. Permasalahan yang dapat diselesaikan dengan metode Design Thinking dalam cakupan SDG (sustainable Development Doals) salah satunya adalah menjaga ekosistem lingkungan yaitu limbah dan sampah yang dihasilkan dari kemasan. Banyak cara untuk meminimalir dan mencari alternatif untuk mengurangi sampah dan limbah. Salah satunya dengan mengganti kemasan plastic dengan bahan olahan dari ganggang atau rumput laut. Pengelolaan rumput laut yang berlimpah di Indonesia sangat memungkinkan untuk dijadikan alternatif kemasan untuk berbagai macam kebutuhan industry di Indonesia. Saat ini sudah mulai bermunculan perusahaan start up  yang mulai memproduksi kemasan rama lingkungan dan sudah seharusnya pemerintah mendukung Gerakan ini agar tercipta Kembali lingkungan yang sehat dan bebas dari pencemaran sampah kemasan plastik.

A dimensão ética da hermenêutica jurídica: repensando o interpretativismo de Ronald Dworkin a partir de Hans-Georg Gadamer
Authors: Ferreira Lopes Ziel
Published: May 2023

Does the so-called interpretive turn in legal theory have an ethical dimension? Based on this guiding question, for these reasons, this essay aims to reflect over the connections between normativity and interpretation. To do so, it proceeds as follows: briefly reconstructs the “Hermeneutic Turn” in contemporary Legal Theory, punctuating the interpretativism of Ronald Dworkin; exposes the recent ethical developments of Gadamer’s work; explores the consequences that an “hermeneutical ethics” could have for legal thinking; revisits the comparisons that Jürgen Habermas had made between juridical hermeneutics of the Gadamerian matrix and the Dworkinian interpretivism in Chapter 5 of Law and Democracy.

Writing against the abyss: An exergue
Authors: Hedley Jenny
Published: May 2023

“Archive”, from the Greek word arkheion, signals a place of commencement and commandment (Derrida, 1995a). Dig deep enough into the etymology of “archive” and there is water (Crowcroft, 2022). This creative-critical essay takes a speculative approach to understanding my late mother’s literary archives, which are locked in storage overseas. Derrida would say that as guardian of the archive, my purpose is curation. This essay serves as an exergue to that exercise, by setting the stage and establishing a prearchival lexicon through citation (Derrida, 1995a). Through writing memory, speculation and theory, scaffolded by narrative threads of bodies and loss, this essay languages the relationship between mother and daughter and archive. It adopts the form of a braided essay (Miller, 2013; Miller & Paola, 2004; Walker, 2017) titrating between narrative threads and critical theory to “see what is displaced” (Eades, 2015, p. 31), allowing for fragmentation that reflects broken bodies in a broken world (Walker, 2017), abjection (Kristeva, 1982) and ugliness (Ellis, 2018), the formation of cellular writing or écriture cellulaire (an extension of Eades’s écriture matière), and prepositioning trauma (Rendle-Short, 2021). Hope becomes a matter of survival, of writing around, against and through, in wave after wave, in order to leave no space for the abyss (Cixous, 1991).

Persigue el desarrollo de las competencias y, en el caso de la enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras, la comunicativa, especialmente, la competencia plurilingüe donde está presente la dimensión intercultural. La situación de aprendizaje que se presenta se realizó en un instituto francés, siendo como segunda lengua extranjera el español. Esta tiene una particularidad: la poesía como instrumento de creatividad y expresión.

The article presents the organoleptic and physicochemical (humidity and strength) quality indicators of pasta with the addition of millet at 7.7, and 15.5%, as a new recipe for pasta production. Millets can be used to supplement pasta because of their superior nutritional value and health advantages. On the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Eurasian Economic Union, the quality indicators were calculated while taking into account the practices outlined in the standardized documents. Express drying, accelerated drying, drying to a constant mass, and employing the MA-30 "SARTORIUS" apparatus following interstate standards were all employed. The study aimed to achieve appropriate organoleptic quality indicators and physicochemical indicators of humidity up to 28% (after processing pasta with the addition of millet 7.7, and 15.5%. Approximately 100 trials were carried out at the Federal State Autonomous Scientific Institution "Scientific Research Institute of the Bakery Industry" Russian Federation, Moscow. According to the study's findings, all quality indicators are within acceptable ranges, except for pasta with the addition of millet 23.3%, recipes for pasta with the addition of millet have been developed, a utility model patent has been obtained in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 7071, issued by the Republican State Enterprise on the right of economic management "National Institute of Intellectual Property". In conclusion, pasta recipes with the addition of millet have been developed. According to the study's findings, all quality indicators are within acceptable limits except pasta with the addition of millet, which accounts for 23.3% of the total.
Effects of using composite flour containing wheat flour with different levels of green banana pulp flour on the quality of saj flatbread
Authors: Abu-Alruz Khaled
Published: May 2023

There is an increasing trend in formulating food to contain dietary fibers and particularly resistant starch. Saj bread (a type of flatbread baked on a plate placed directly on fire) is a potential candidate to act as a vehicle for delivering resistant starch. This study aimed to investigate the effects of using composite flour containing wheat flour substituted with different levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of green banana pulp flour "GBPF" on some physicochemical properties of flour (moisture, ash, wet and dry gluten content, gluten index, falling number, and farinograph parameters)  and the quality of saj bread as measured by CIELAB color space, texture (stretchability and texture profile analysis "TPA"), and sensory properties. The texture of the saj bread was monitored during three days of storage. Composite flour moisture content and falling number were unaffected by wheat flour substitution with GBPF, while dry gluten content decreased significantly for composite flour containing 15% or more GBPF. With increasing wheat flour substitution level with GBPF, dough stability decreased. For saj bread color, the L* and b* values decreased with increasing substitution levels, while a* and ∆E*ab values increased. With increasing substitution levels, the stretchability of bread decreased, and all tested TPA parameters increased. With increasing saj bread storage time, the stretchability of bread decreased, and all TPA parameters increased except cohesiveness which decreased. Using composite flour improved bread taste and odor scores and decreased color acceptability scores. Texture and overall acceptability scores were not affected. In conclusion, GBPF can potentially substitute up to 20% wheat flour without negatively affecting saj bread quality.
Análise da viabilidade do regime próprio de previdência social do município de Serra Branca.
Authors:   , Araújo Almeida Artur
Published: May 2023

O presente trabalho ira tratar do tema da Previdência Social, mostrando e caracterizando os tipos de regimes existentes no Brasil e sua importância para a sociedade, dando maior enfase aos Regimes Próprios de Previdência Social (RPPS) elencando as vantagens e desvantagens desse regime, mas especificamente o Instituto de Previdência do Município de Serra Branca (INPREMSERB), analisando a viabilidade do mesmo. Serão utilizadas como fontes, coletas de dados junto ao Tribunal de Contas do Estado da Paraíba dos anos de 2009 a 2013, um oficio emitido pelo gestor do instituto que garante de forma oficial a existência de um deficit mensal do mesmo, alem de dados do Ministério da Previdência Social que trazem a tona a ausência de Certificados de Regularidade Previdenciária (CRP) perante o Ministério da Previdência Social, impedindo assim o município de firmar contratos, convênios e acordos perante a união. Portanto através destes dados o trabalho tem o intuito de possivelmente analisar se o RPPS do município de Serra Branca atualmente e inviável ou não, e se o mesmo atualmente esta sendo vantajoso ou não para o município em questão.
A diferenciação das contratações públicas: do Regime Ordinário ao Regime Diferenciado de Contratação (RDC).
Authors:   , da Silva Araújo Tales
Published: May 2023

O presente trabalho irá tratar dos procedimentos licitatórios no Brasil, mostrando e caracterizando o regime ordinário (Lei 8.666/93) e o regime diferenciado (Lei 12.462/2011) e as incongruências encontradas entre eles, dando maior ênfase ao Regimes Diferenciado de Contratações Públicas (RDC) identificando os pontos positivos e negativos da inclusão desse regime e avaliando a viabilização do mesmo para as licitações brasileiras. Serão utilizadas como fontes, pesquisas bibliográficas sobre o tema abordado e coletas de dados junto aos Tribunais de Contas dos Estados brasileiros, bem como junto ao Tribunal de Contas da União. O que percebe-se ao longo do trabalho é que o RDC surge como uma tentativa de solucionar a problématica da execução do eventos internacionais realizados no Brasil ao longo da década e está sendo ampliado para demais contratações no país, mas em contrapartida é um regime que tem uma abertura da burocratização, tornandoo, a princípio mais célere, mas que na verdade é apenas um paleativo que não enseja uma reforma no processo de compras governamentais, propiciando uma possível instabilidade ou insegurança, podendo ser causa de fragilização da gestão pública brasileira.

Published: May 2023

O presente trabalho acadêmico tem por finalidade avaliar os aditamentos do Programa do Leite no município de Coxixola. No trabalho foram levantados dados relativos a história da caprinocultura leiteira. Também foi feita uma contextualização histórica da criação do Programa Leite da Paraíba. Como embasamento teórico foi trabalhado os conceitos de políticas públicas e suas vertentes: política de governo e política de estado. Foram analisados os aspectos do PRONAF na ótica de autores acadêmicos e a caprinocultura leiteira enquanto atividade econômica. Para tanto, verificou-se quais foram os avanços que o programa propiciou nos aspectos social, econômico e ambiental de 2004 até o 1º semestre de 2014 para formação de dados. Foi realizado um estudo do caso no município de Coxixola por meio de um questionário aplicado a doze produtores pioneiros e remanescentes da época da implantação do programa (10 anos), onde levantou-se a realidade vivenciada pelos atendidos do programa até os dias atuais, com a implantação dessa política. Também identificou-se que o programa no lado produtivo possui 57% de produtores que não concluíram o ensino fundamental e 91% desses produtores foram extrativistas e degradadores do meio ambiental. Neste trabalho ainda, viu-se a evolução da renda desses produtores que passaram de extrema pobreza para as classes D e C, além de demonstrar o aumento no recrutamento de produtores pelo programa em 453% no município de Coxixola. Logo identificou-se evidências de que o programa não mais opera como uma agenda de governo, mas sim, como uma política pública de estado com viés de sustentabilidade.

Published: May 2023

Utilizado como instrumento de estímulo ao planejamento local e regional da saúde, o consórcio público possibilita a viabilização financeira de investimentos e contribui para a superação de desafios locais no processo de implementação do Sistema. O consórcio intermunicipal de saúde é uma iniciativa autônoma de municípios localizados em áreas geográficas contíguas que se associam para gerir e prover conjuntamente serviços especializados e de apoio diagnóstico de maior densidade tecnológica à população das municipalidades participantes. Na Paraíba a presença do Consórcio Intermunicipal de Saúde do Cariri Ocidental ( CISCO) surgiu como alternativa para viabilizar uma melhor prestação de serviços de saúde para os habitantes das cidades consorciadas, consequentemente causando uma melhora significativa na qualidade de vidas das pessoas que necessitam dos serviços públicos de saúde.
