English abstract | This paper deals with the process of scaling up and scaling down grassroots demands through a state - sponsored socio - environmental development programme in Brazilian Amazonia called Proambiente (Pro - environment) . The paper attempts to understand the links betwee n the three different levels of the programme actions: the macro (federal government), intermediate (NGOs) , and local (community) levels. The central paper’s issue is to understand how a state - sponsored socio - environmental development programme interacts w ith and impacts local communities. The theoretical paper’s framework involves the approaches of participatory development and governance. The methodology is based on three levels of qualitative analysis (macro - , intermediary - and local - level). The paper (a ) describes the trajectory of the Proambiente and the process of scaling up communities’ demands; (b) reveals contradictions within the Proambiente implementation ; and (c) debates the impacts of the programme actions at local level. The paper reveals that once the state encompasses local people’s demands and creates a development programme, the development model absorbs multi - actor interests that change local people’s proposals. It also shows that the challenge facing a socio - environmental development progr amme like the Proambiente is to find a balance between production and conservation aims |
