The theme proposed for this research "Social Assistance and Human Development: Under
socioeconomic considerations, civil and territorial vulnerability" to measure which
institutional contribution of public social welfare policy for human development, considering
contexts of socioeconomic vulnerability, civil and territorial, listed the important points about
the theoretical foundations of social assistance and its institutionalization in the midst of
social issues in Brazil, the prospects for citizenship, social participation and human
development policy, as well as in the face of territorial and conditions vulnerability
socioeconomic, civil and territorial. For the survey of empirical data, the employed
instruments such as questionnaires, applied in three municipalities of the Parrot's Beak,
extreme northern state of Tocantins, having as target managers, directors( as), workers and
families, all linked to welfare policy. The results helped to uncover key aspects related to the
management and institutionalization of public welfare policy; culture of participation and
social control, the provision of social assistance services, and access to social assistance
services by the beneficiary families. These aspects imply that social assistance partially
contributes to human development, passing by many obstacles and challenges that hamper the
legitimacy of a democratic and emancipatory politics.
