Sumario:The contemporary paradigm points out a change that goes from the idea of fighting against drought, to the idea of conviviality, in an autonomous way, with the effects of this phenomenon. Nevertheless, the Brazilian semi-arid Northeast is a region that, in the most critical periods, of prolonged drought, depends on emergency support from public administrations. Historically, the policies towards the northeast have been presented as a set of interventionist actions by the State in order to alleviate or regulate, in a palliative and focused way, emergency or catastrophic situations resulting from prolonged droughts. It is fully possible, and there are alternatives at the disposal of society, that the suffering of millions of people in this region could be at least mitigated. However, due to determinants such as the so-called drought industry, measures of this nature are not always taken, which ends up perpetuating asymmetric relations of power and dependence in this region. In this paper, we propose a reflection on the process of formation of public policies aimed at alleviating the suffering of people that are exposed to the effects of drought. In this sense, we aim to explore the way in which an initiative that emerges from popular needs (construction of cisterns for the storage of rainwater) is proposed to the Brazilian State and assumed by it as a public policy (P1MC). Our proposal is based on a literature review that finds empirical support when we analyze interviews with beneficiaries of the program and with the social actors involved in the deliberative process regarding the distribution of cisterns.
