Convênios

A convênio is a type of agreement or covenant, commonly used in Brazil, that formalizes a partnership between two or more entities to achieve a common objective. These entities can include public bodies, private organizations, or non-profit institutions. The primary purpose of a convênio is to establish a legal framework for collaboration, outlining the responsibilities, contributions, and expected outcomes of each party involved.

Convênios are often established to pool resources, expertise, or funding for projects that benefit the public good or advance specific sectors. Examples include agreements between government agencies for shared services, partnerships between universities and companies for research and development, or collaborations between NGOs and local authorities for social programs. The terms of a convênio are typically detailed in a formal written document, which specifies the duration of the agreement, the financial arrangements, the scope of work, and the mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. This structured approach ensures transparency and accountability among the participating entities.
