description:

It is possible to implement a subnational DWA. The BDWA was the first subnational DWA to be implemented worldwide to which the evaluators are aware. The feasibility of initiating such an effort, without the establishment of a national DWA, was questioned. The BDWA is proof that this is possible. The national DWA was official launched in 2006, but never gained any traction until the second half of 2008. Regardless of the delays in its development, the tripartite leaders in Bahia, especially the government, were able to successfully create and implement the Agenda. It is important to note, however, that the
three priorities established in the national agenda served as inspiration for the establishment of the BDWA axes. One factor that could have influenced the success of the subnational agenda was the political alignment between the state and federal governments. However, this was not the case. Very little funding and support to the establishment and implementation of the BDWA came from the federal government. Furthermore, the recent development of a DWA in the State of Mato Grosso, with a governor from a different political party, also disproves the initial hypothesis.
