The present study aimed to analyze the participation of the government of Piauí in the bottom-up funding of sport and leisure public policies from 2013 to 2017, embracing four aspects: (1) comparison of expenditure with tax revenue; (2) comparison of expenditure with other social agendas, notably Social Assistance and Culture; (3) identifying the spending behavior regarding subfunctions; (4) analyzing the efficiency in resource liquidation comparatively. Quantitative data were collected from the National Treasure website and submitted to descriptive statistics. In a conclusive manner, the study indicated that: (a) state government expenditure with the SLF is far shorter than the estimated by the II National Sport Conference; (b) expenditure has not followed the positive revenue variation during the period; (c) when compared to Social Assistance and Culture, Sport and Leisure has been the less considered area on the government’s agenda; (d) there has been an abrupt chance in the government’s agenda towards performance sport; (e) the government acts in an efficient way regarding the liquidation of planned resources.

In recent years, important studies on the participation of municipalities in the expenses with the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) have been published in Brazil, but little is known regarding variables affecting its results. For that matter, the present study aimed to verify the existence of a norm, in the scope of the organic law, capable of explaining the behavior of expenses with the SLF by municipalities from Piauí. The sample was composed of 44,64% (100) of municipalities in Piauí (224). The majority of the sample does not acknowledge the subject as an important one among other private competences (94%) and with full effectiveness (96%). Unlike the behavior of these two legislative classes, out of all municipalities that have not presented norms for the dealing with the subject, 1/3 has expended for 15 years. The organic law was not a good predictor of the behavior of expenses with the SLF by municipalities from Piauí. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A full human development implicates the constant improvement of population's well-being. Among actions that affect this, are sports and leisure activities. In this manner, the present study established the following objectives: (a) verifying if cumulative investments since 2002 had an impact on the enhancing of Human Development Index (HDI) identified in the 2010 PNUD's report; (b) verifying if the 2010 HDI has improved per capita investments in the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) from 2011/2012, when compared to SLF from 2002. The analysis of averages and medians allowed us to conclude cumulative investments have not helped explaining the improvement in HDI from 2010; the raising in per capita investments in 2011/2012 in the SLF cannot be justified by the improvement presented by municipalities in Piauí regarding 2010 HDI. Thus, HDI is not a variable capable of explaining investments in public sports and leisure policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
