Summary (English)
This paper outlines the characteristics of workfare programmes implemented in Brazil in the second half of the nineties. It makes an assessment of the impacts the programmes actually had - or could have had if implement as planned - on employment, income and poverty. Some critical operational aspects, like focus and training, are discussed, as well as the need to design social programmes aimed at well defined target clienteles.
