Abstract

Local development practices with endogenous bases are capable of transforming territories into productive units that propel socioeconomic advances. Such initiatives can be built on the establishment of forms of governance shaped by the creation of interaction bonds and coordination mechanisms. In this sense, this article presents: the characterization and interrelations of the agents of the Local Productive Arrangement - APL - of the açaí in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri and the definition of the type of governance existing in the Arrangement. In order to reach the proposed objective, a qualitative and descriptive research of the theoretical and field type was developed, with the aid of bibliographical sources and interviews. The results show how the agents interrelate in the APL, how governance is currently structured and what implications for local development in the municipality
