SUMMARY:

Introduction: The development of public policies involves a cycle of steps - agenda, formulation, implementation, evaluation - necessary to understand the decisions taken and their consequences. In implementation, planned decisions are consolidated into final actions. Street Level Bureaucrats (BNR's) are implementing agents, responsible for the direct delivery of policies to citizens. In the Unified Health System (SUS), professionals from the Family Health Strategy (ESF) are considered BNR's of reference in health actions and, in the exercise of their functions, they use their professional autonomy as a strategy to meet the population's needs. Objective: The present study aimed to analyze how the Community Health Agents (ACS's) of a municipality in the Brazilian semi-arid region historically establish their professional autonomy as BNR's in their work routines. Methods: consists of an exploratory qualitative study that, through interviews with as using the Thematic Oral History method and content analysis (Bardin), allowed the construction of analytical categories associated with individual and collective dimensions and the environment of action of these workers. Results: it was observed the development of mechanisms of autonomy by ACS´s in decision making during the implementation of public health policies. Conclusion: the performance of these BNR's can directly influence the execution of these policies.
