Instituto Santos Dumont (ISD) is a Social Organization supervised by the Ministry of Education (MEC). The resources, attributions and responsibilities of both institutions in this partnership, as well as the forms of control over the performance of activities, are regulated by a Management Agreement (GC).

The CG allows defining and adopting action strategies that offer ISD the best conditions to achieve the agreed performance indicators and targets. In addition, the performance monitoring institutional through the Management Contract allows identifying the need to agree on new goals or revise the volume of expected resources (Additive Terms).

An OS uses the CG as a guide for carrying out its activities, although it has managerial autonomy, administrative and financial management of resources and public goods received. It is up to the State to supervise, through competent bodies, the proper use of public resources allocated to these institutions.
