Abstract: The São Francisco River Transposition Project aims at the integration of hydrographic basins in the northern Northeast, as a form of service to 12 (twelve) million Northeasterners, in the states of Pernambuco, Paraíba, Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte; A region that historically suffers from water unavailability. The present article presents a on the importance of social participation as a strategy for sustainable local development in the resettlement of VPR Negreiros in the São Francisco River Transposition Project. The methodology adopted included the use of documentary research for theoretical contributions and documentary sources, participant observation (in loco), and verification of pertinent content, in which the participatory process developed with the families of the VPR was verified, with a view to self-sustainability . The categories analyzed were: social participation, environmental education and sustainability for local development. A Social Participation Index was obtained that allowed to classify the community participation during the development of the actions carried out. This study ratifies the importance of participation in the social organization of the actors involved throughout the resettlement process, but also warns that the desired process of sustainable local development, so far verified in this research, is far from the current reality of the families, due to Mainly the practical ineffectiveness of productive bias and its entire framework, still dependent on the conclusion of the São Francisco River Transposition Project.
