Abstract The goal of this research is to examine the performance of public, private (NGO) and hybrid (public-private) governance (Mahoney, McGahan, & Pitelis, 2009; McGahan, Zelner, & Barney, 2013; Quélin, Kivleniece, & Lazzarini, 2017) in a resource-scarce environment (Baker & Nelson, 2005; George, McGahan, & Prabhu, 2012). Therefore, this research aims to develop an understanding of how different governance structures deploy resources to promote the public interest by evaluating a job training program targeting residents of Brazilian favelas. The research objective is to analyze alternative forms of commissioning resources under public versus private versus hybrid governance mode. Specifically, we analyze how governance structure influences both the fulfillment of the public interest and the distribution of value among stakeholders engaged in the deployment. Our setting allows a comparison of how much a non-profit organization can foster social prosperity – measured by the increased level of employment (formal and informal), income, the confidence level of individuals, the optimism level of individuals, among other outcomes. The approach is to compare these outcomes between individuals who undertook the training and those who did not. Also, the research design enables us to understand whether the training is more effective when performed through the public organization, the NGO, or through a hybrid form.

Intervention (Public) The intervention provided a three-phase educational program to populations living in two favelas in Rio de Janeiro, Cidade de Deus and Pavuna. The goal of the program is to support individuals' educational development and entry into the workforce, either as formal employees or entrepreneurs. The program takes about 9 months in total, with the first phase focused on socio-emotional abilities, the second phase on technical training, and the third phase on managerial and entrepreneurship skills.

Description The Rio de Janeiro Municipality through the Subsecratry of Social Assistance and Human Rights allowed the execution of this project in two CRAS (Reference Center for Social Assistance) in Cidade de Deus and Pavuna. The public servants were concerned about the mechanism behind the randomization. So, to assure the legality of the procedure, Banco da Providencia and the PI wrote a document describing the process to a nontechnical audience, and describing that they were responsible for the process, which had been previously approved by the University of Toronto IRB.
