This article aims to analyze the dissemination of a social innovation initiative, through a collaborative network, which has as its agglutinating point an association of families that aim to develop public policies directed to children affected by microcephaly. The study was guided by qualitative indicators, using Medeiros model (2018) as the guiding reference of the analysis, which is based on both process and result approaches of social innovation. Field collection involved primary and secondary data, which were discussed, respectively, through categorical content analysis and document analysis. The analysis made it possible to infer that the studied initiative has followed a line of expansion of its practices following a feedback system: the social change achieved in the territories arises as a result of the emerging social practices, obtained through the formed collaboration network (process), which It has provided new local responses to the beneficiaries of the initiative (outcome), such as actions by civil society and Government with the aim of providing social inclusion for children and improving their living conditions.
