Estratégia Nacional de Investimento e Negócios de Impacto (ENIMPACTO): um Plano de Ação para as Organizações Intermediárias e para o Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

Governmental and philanthropic approaches no longer solve the current socio-environmental problems. In this scenario, impact businesses emerge as complementary measures to public policies, as they add solutions to these problems to their activities. In this sense, Decree No. 9,977/2019 appears to articulate social actors to promote a favorable environment for these businesses. The research is justified because the development of these businesses is incipient in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) and there is a lack of articulation between actors for its development. The research aimed to propose an action plan for intermediary organizations - which connect, facilitate and certify of impact businesses (financial resources and services, management and access to investors, monitoring, evaluation and certification, knowledge and information) - and for the state of MS for the development of the National Strategy for Investments and Impact Business (Enimpacto). Therefore, an exploratory and descriptive research was carried out, adopting a qualitative approach and using as sources of evidence bibliographic and legal documents, opinions, and structured interviews with (Coordination of Enimpact, Sebrae, UFMS, UEMS and IFMS). Content analysis was used using the Iramuteq software, generating the analysis graphics (word cloud, similarity and phylogram). The results showed a relationship between the terms 'impact business', 'social' and 'social entrepreneurship', as well as the relationships of these words with others in the text communities. An alignment with Enimpact's objectives was perceived. It was observed that the promotion of impact businesses, through intermediary organizations in the state, is still incipient and that there is a lack of articulation between intermediary organizations, as well as a lack of a subnational strategy to strengthen the development of impact businesses in the state. To try to resolve these obstacles, an action plan was drawn up with the aim of implementing a state/subnational investment and business impact policy and a governance agenda for the articulation of these organizations in order to jointly promote a favorable environment to the growth of impact businesses and the expansion of the volume of capital for impact in the state.
