Caritas Brasileira Floods response - Bahia and Minas Gerais - phase 2 This is the second phase of the BRA626 emergency response. It aims to scale up support to affected families that have been impacted by a tropical cyclone that hit Minas Gerais and Bahia states in Brazil very badly in December 2021, and has since caused landslides, severe flooding and dam breaks causing many more thousands to be made homeless and without access to their basic needs. Caritas Brasileira intends to increase its target group from 110 to 186 of the most vulnerable families in the municipalities of Ilheus (Bahia) and Palmopolis (Minas Gerais) to distribute further cash transfer cards for three monthly payments of BRL450 (c. £64.30 @ 7) totalling BRL 1350 (£193 @ 7) to these 76 additional families. Please see the people and communities section of BRA626 for more information. 

In both municipalities, many communities (hundreds of families) remain invisible and abandoned by the public authorities and have been forgotten by national media. Caritas Brasileira staff report that both Ilhéus and Palmópolis have areas that are completely unassisted by either local government or NGOs. Families impacted by the rains report minimal support from the local parish in the form of a basket of donated goods. But donations have decreased considerably, and urgent needs of affected communities continue to be drinking water, food, clothes, mattresses, nappies for children and sanitary items for women/older people, medicines and hygiene items. 

An extratropical cyclone that formed in the Atlantic Ocean, caused by low pressure on the southern coast of Brazil has led to torrential rains and extreme floods in the south of Bahia and the Jequitinhonha valley of Minas Gerais. By 18/2/22, flooding, landslides and dam breaks had affected more than 900,000 people. In total, 311 municipalities declared a state of emergency (166 in Bahia and 145 in Minas Gerais). According to Civil Defence Authorities, a total of 103,848 people were forced to leave their homes due to flood damage in both states. In Bahia, a total of 86,705 people had to be relocated, of which 26,606 people needed emergency shelter and 60,099 people were able to move temporarily to family or friends’ house. In Minas Gerais, a total of 17,143 people had to be relocated, with 3,409 people living in temporary shelters and 13,734 people currently living with family or friends. It is expected that 20% of the homes from the relocated families have been destroyed and need to be rebuilt, but official data is not yet available. The heavy rains were responsible for the deaths of 35 people (26 in Bahia and 9 in Minas Gerais).
Guaranteeing housing rights and climate justice for vulnerably housed women in São Paulo Over 2 million people in São Paulo metropolitan area live in inadequate and unsafe housing on the outskirts of the city in favelas and occupations, far from jobs, services and without basic infrastructure. At least 53,000 people are street homeless in central SP, whilst 600,000 people live in inadequate conditions in the city. High rents in both favelas and tenements leave little for daily sustenance, work travel of 4-5 hours/day leaves no time for family life. 

Historic legacies of slavery, internal displacement and contemporary discrimination mean black and mixed-race people are most affected by urban inequality. Violent disputes for territorial control between drug gangs and/or police and increasing impacts of climate change and environmental degradation leave communities vulnerable to tragedy. Nevertheless, Brazil has a strong policy-framework and technical capacity, which if applied and adequately resourced could turn cities like São Paulo into engines of socioeconomic inclusion, environmental transformation and equality. Strengthening the organisation, know-how and networks of communities to claim their rights is essential to bringing this about.

This project will strengthen the voice, influence and organisation of approximately 10,000 vulnerably housed people from 45 grassroots housing organisations in order that they can shape the design and implementation of public policies for safe and permanent housing and neighbourhoods. The principal beneficiaries will be women, children and older people from predominantly black and mixed-race communities who will benefit from improved access to safe and permanent housing, reductions in environmental risks and access to urban services, including sanitation, electricity and sustainable transport. Communities in informal occupations of land and buildings in the centre and outskirts of São Paulo will be prioritised, who are at risk of eviction and violence and elevated exposure to environmental risks will be prioritised.
Brazil team consultancy support This consultancy aims to provide capacity building, monitoring and reporting support to our CPT livelihoods partner in Pará, four indigenous partners in the Amazon,  and two children’s right urban partners in Recife. 

The consultant will provide monitoring and technical capacity support to CPT/MA-XI-TU in the finalisation of the EC Year 2 report which is due beginning of November, analysing all relevant partner documentation, annexes and draft reports, and providing feedback and reporting support to ensure all documentation is produced meeting EC guidelines.  

The consultant will also review and analyse key partner documentation and reports and prepare programmatic and financial monitoring and reporting feedback for six other indigenous and child rights partners, capturing and highlighting main changes, adaptations and areas for partner monitoring and CAFOD PCM in the next year, which will inform CAFOD’s grant approval process.

Due to an overload of work and illness of a member of the team (Programme Support Officer’s recent health problems) and end of the year monitoring and evaluation trip, and CR support to Andes team (security management and approvals sign off), the support is required to ensure continued monitoring and PCM support to partners and clear a backlog of tasks that have built up as a result of all the above unforeseen situations.  This support is important in order to avoid further delays which will consequently have an impact on partners work and our relationship with the EU delegation in Brazil. This support is also essential to allow time for PSO full recovery and a stress free return and for the whole team wellbeing.  

Support will be provided by Lorna Muscat, previous CAFOD Programme Officer – Brazil and Paraguay, utilising her experience from supporting the implementation of a previous EC contract for the Brazil Urban Livelihoods programme between 2008-11 and her knowledge of the Brazil programmes, projects, partners and CAFOD's requirements.
Jubilee South Jubilee South/Brazil is part of an international network present in over 30 countries aiming at strengthening democratic popular participation in the decision-making concerning the debt of Southern countries and publicizing the international mechanisms that keep poor countries in debt.

This project is part of the Economic Justice Programme, a partnership between CAFOD and 4 church-based organisations, whose goal is to achieve greater economic justice in Brazil by addressing the key development issues of debt, trade, governance and human rights with a focus on awareness-raising, participation, social mobilisation and advocacy.

The project is: (1) publicizing the Economic Justice Programme's theme "debt, social rights and social security reform” and monitoring the government’s activities towards social inclusion; (2) increasing the participation of the 80 regional representatives in actions that encourage direct participation of the population in the defence of social rights and training them to engage in “Citizen Audits”; (3) advocating in favour of the unconditional defence of all the social rights established in the Constitution, currently threatened by the social security reform; (4) Monitoring the government's actions related to the payment of the public debt and advocating for more transparency in the government’s accounts (5) strengthening the partnership between Jubilee Brazil and Jubilee South in other countries.
