Knowledge production, pandemic and the direction of Brazilian philanthropy

By Erika Sanchez Saez

We will spend years, perhaps centuries, studying and analyzing what we, as humanity, have been experiencing since the beginning of 2020.

There are those who say that the pandemic marks the transition and the true beginning of the 21st century, just as the First World War established and materialized what it meant to be in the 20th century. There are optimistic analyzes that see this period as a possibility for transition to make the changes we so desperately need. There are also pessimists, who point to this as the first of many pandemics to come and the worsening of all our common challenges from it, starting with the deepening of inequalities on a global scale and in a frightening way in the Brazilian context.

Why is it urgent to democratize private social investment in Brazil?

By Gelson Henrique, Marcelle Decothé and Raull Santiago

It is nothing new to see that organizations, collectives and movements based in favela and peripheral areas carry out urgent work that has a direct social, political and economic impact on their communities and territories in Brazil. However, the visibility of the challenges that these groups have in accessing private social investment in the country – which operates based on structural inequalities of race, gender and class – is something that drives the imagination of our actions.
