Today, I attended a lecture by Mr. Jan-Gustav Strandenaes at the SDG Academy and wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming UN #HLPF2024 side event organized by #INTOSAI, which you can participate in online. Mr. Strandenaes emphasized that strong and active governance structures are essential for addressing climate, environmental, and sustainability issues. This is precisely where Supreme Audit Institutions (#SAIs) play a crucial role in holding governments accountable, as exemplified by initiatives like #Climatescanner. Transparency and accountability are key, and this is also the core message of #SAI20: SAIs matter and are central to driving change!

Recife, Brazil (19 July 2024) – The Human Rights Clinic of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and the Facts and Norms Institute (FNI) have jointly submitted a new Amicus Curiae Memorial to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, marking another step in the pursuit of justice for victims of the Brazilian dictatorship. This Memorial focuses on the case of Denise Peres Crispim, Eduardo Collen Leite, and Others Vs. Brazil, highlighting the transgenerational impact of state violence and the urgent need for transitional justice measures. Key arguments presented in the Memorial include: - State violence as a systemic issue: The brief exposes the continuous and pervasive nature of state violence in Brazil, drawing a stark connection between the brutal practices of the dictatorship era and the ongoing police violence that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. - Transgenerational impact of exile: The Memorial underscores the devastating consequences of forced exile, highlighting the psychological and emotional trauma inflicted upon Denise and Eduarda, who were forced to flee their homeland and reconstruct their lives in a foreign land. This analysis emphasizes the need for reparations that address the unique experiences of children who have inherited the legacy of their parents' persecution. - Violation of fundamental rights: The brief meticulously documents the violation of numerous rights enshrined in the American Convention on Human Rights, including the right to life, liberty, personal security, a fair trial, and freedom from torture. It also stresses the State's failure to protect the right to a name and nationality for Eduarda, who was born into exile and faced years of bureaucratic hurdles to have her identity legally recognized. - Indigeneous populations, a parallel struggle: The Memorial draws a compelling parallel between the experiences of Denise and Eduarda and the systemic violations endured by Indigenous populations during the dictatorship. It emphasizes how forced assimilation policies, land dispossession, and cultural suppression have inflicted transgenerational trauma on these communities, demanding a comprehensive approach to truth, justice, and reparations. - Justice with attention to women's rights: The Memorial makes a powerful call for a gender-focused approach to transitional justice, emphasizing the specific forms of violence and discrimination faced by women during the dictatorship. It critiques the lack of gender sensitivity in existing transitional justice mechanisms in Brazil. It argues that the State has failed to recognize the particular vulnerabilities of women, including the use of sexual violence as a tool of repression and the lasting impact of forced separation from families and communities.

*Vale a pena refletir sobre o caso brasileiro sob essa perspectiva conceitual e analítica apresentada neste belo texto do sempre excelente Cass Sunstein. Igualmente, esse parece ser um dos possíveis pontos de partida para se explorar um tema muito raro (e muito importante) na discussão da "melhoria institucional" da economia brasileira.* *The Economic Constitution of the United States* "Suppose that the US Department of Transportation wants to issue a new regu-uppose that the US Department of Transportation wants to issue a new regulation, one that would require all new motor vehicles in the United States tolation, one that would require all new motor vehicles in the United States to be equipped with some state-of-the-art safety technology.

🌿 Investigating authoritarian practices in Brazil from 2019 to 2022, a study titled "Capitalismo Extrativista e Estado de Intimidação" reveals a troubling rise in authoritarian governance by extractive corporations. During this period, we witnessed the erosion of democratic spaces, anti-environmentalist policies, and intimidation against human rights defenders and community leaders. 📚 The global literature review highlights a trend where neo-extractivism intersects with authoritarianism, reflecting a broader pattern of neoliberal authoritarianism. The alignment of conservative forces with neoliberal agendas has profound impacts on indigenous populations and environmental degradation. 🔍 Using qualitative methodology, the research analyzed primary and secondary data, including interviews with community leaders and examining corporate practices. Findings detail a systematic dismantling of environmental protections through legislative changes and corporate lobbying perpetuated by multinational corporations. ✊ Conclusively, the study stressed the urgent need for robust international regulations and strengthened local governance to safeguard environmental and human rights against the encroachment of authoritarian practices.

Relations between Brazil and the United States are at a historic moment of mutual strengthening! On 26 May, we will celebrate the bicentennial of our diplomatic relations, as you can see here: https://bit.ly/3xSMat1.   This milestone represents not only a legacy of cooperation, but also a promising future of shared opportunities. The recent conclusion of the U.S.-BR Economic Dialogue opens the door to even closer collaboration in reorganizing supply chains, especially in the crucial semiconductor sector.   This initiative reflects our joint commitment to innovation and technological advancement, which are fundamental pillars of our economies. Moreover, with Brazil hosting the G20 presidency in 2024 and the honor of hosting COP 30 in 2025, we are positioned to lead not only regionally, but globally, in the search for sustainable and effective solutions to the challenges of our time.   In this moment of celebration and perspective, it is crucial to recognize the essential role of collaboration among our nations so that we can shape a more resilient, prosperous, and inclusive future for all.   #BrazilUSA #Bicentennial #IAmIntel

I shared the experience acquired and some lessons learned from the European perspective on the #AIAct (preparatory work, inspiring principles, key elements and the significant latest developments agreed by the co-legislators in the final stages of the negotiations). Very useful insights offered by the other co-panelists in the light of the Brazilian context and the ongoing debates on the Brazilian AI law pending in the Parliament. Very timely discussion! ⌛ ❓ Will there be a so-called ‘Brussels effect’ of the AI Act? ❓How should other countries in other parts of the world deal with AI governance domestically? ❓What factors should be taken into account when thinking about AI regulation? ❓How should different social and economic conditions (for instance is there a high degree of social inequality) or possibly different domestic legislation (for instance, is there a strong ex ante product safety approach) be accounted for? These questions will be asked again and again over the next months and years. I very much look forward to continuing nuanced and engaged discussions such as those in Brasilia. AI should truly benefit all, notably those who may need it most in terms of innovative service delivery and opportunity for growth.

The 2nd panel of the 3rd W20 Brazil National Dialogue - Northeast Edition, held in Pernambuco on May 14, focused on "Experiences of Care Programs". Moderated by Kamila Camilo, W20 Brazil Delegate, it featured experts from various sectors who shared iniatives positively impacting women burdened with care responsabilities. Evelyn Lins, Coordinator of  Women's Health in Recife, noted that Pernambuco leads the Northeast in teenage pregnancies. "This year we began offering long-acting contraceptive methods to women and teenagers who are homeless or vulnerable". A partnership with Organon provides training to healthcare professionals from the city hall. Jordana Cristina de Jesus, researcher at J-PAL NGO, emphasized the importance of scientific evidence before adopting public policies. "Through evidence, we can identify the best solutions within a scenario of limited resources. A successful case in Rio showed that implementing daycare centers had positive economic effects for different generations of women". Luciana Nabarrete, Director of People, Processes and Sustainability at ENGIE Brasil, spoke about “Mulheres do Nosso Bairro” program launched in 2020 to boost income generation for nano-entrepreneurs. "We're in the 4th edition, have assisted more than 250 businesses, invested R$ 3 million, and more than 40% of the ventures assisted by the program have become their primary source of income”. Tássia Ginciene, Director of External Relations at Organon, highlighted the relevance of public-private collaboration and Recife’s experience. “Educating and engaging health professionals for project execution is crucial. In the field, they explain the importance of family planning, which generates a virtuous cycle, preventing teenage pregnancies and driving societal transformation". Kamila Camilo concluded by stressing the importance of care policies benefiting women employees and their potential to increase organizational engagement, and the need to review performance evaluation models for women over the long term. Overload from care responsibilities and motherhood have penalized women's participation in the labor market, as demonstrated by Claudia Goldin, Nobel Prize for Economics in 2023. For many women, entrepreneurship remains the only path to ensuring their families’s survival. In 2023, the number of women entrepreneurs reached 10.3 million. Although women have significant representation in initial entrepreneurship, their businesses do not grow at the same rate as men’s, highlighting the importance of training programs, connection networks and specific activities to improve market access, financing and capital. Entrepreneurship is the theme for the next W20 Brazil National Dialogue, on June 13, in Salvador, Bahia.

Brazil. I was invited to speak about Empowerment Evaluation by the Evaluation Unit of the Department of Advanced Studies of Brazil's National School of Public Administration. It was part of "Evaluation Week". I focused on the simplicity of empowerment evaluation - a worldwide self-evaluation approach with only 3 steps: 1) crystallizing the mission; 2) taking stock or assessing current performance; and 3) planning for the future to improve program performance. The central thread of the presentation was on community involvement and control of the evaluation with evaluators serving as critical friends and coaches rather than external experts. It was a great conference, filled with debates, reflections, and new ideas. The focus was on theory-based evaluation, collaborative evaluation, equity and diversity-focused evaluation, and institutionalization of evaluation in Brazil. Concrete examples were shared, highlighting successes and areas meriting attention in the future. It was a thoughtful, engaging, and often inspiring conference. Many thanks to Rafael Ferrari for coordinating much of the conference and Marcia Joppert for creating the network that made this a reality.

📢 Excited to share my latest publication in Libertas: "Não está escuro ainda, mas está chegando lá: Crises globais, Serviço Social e resistência." This paper explores today's interconnected global crises and how social work can respond with resistance and promote human rights, environmental sustainability, and anti-racism. Check it out for an in-depth Marxist analysis of our current challenges and the role of social work in addressing them. As a strong advocate for international knowledge exchange and breaking barriers in research, I am delighted to have contributed to the publication of such important Social Work literature in Brasil. This work is a Brazilian-Portuguese translation of a paper from Revolutionary Social Work: Promoting Systemic Changes (2023), written by Iain Ferguson and Michael Lavalette, notable figures in British Radical Social Work who currently contribute to our Research Network.
