Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Rural Insurance Premium
Subsidy Program, created by the Decree number 5121/2004 and managed by the Ministry of
Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (Brazil). With the support of documented research
and interviews with leaders of the Program, this evaluation presents the background of its
creation, main features, implementation and results achieved. After, the results of the goals
of the Program proposed by the public policy and in regard of the criteria of sufficiency of
resources, management tools and social participation were evaluated. The analysis points
to a partial efficiency of the Program. The interest in joining the Program still prevails,
demonstrating its need and importance. It is important, however, to step up at some points,
as the effective exercise of the role of the Interministerial Steering Committee of the Rural
Insurance and assurance of budgetary resources when it is necessary.
