Legal Aid - HIV/AIDS - Rio de Janeiro This project with Grupo Pela Vidda – Rio de Janeiro (GPV-RJ), seeks to protect and promote the social and individual rights of people living with HIV and AIDS, in Brazil. 

Areas of work include legal aid, counselling and support groups. Over the years, Grupo Pela Vidda has become a very politically active organization participating and promoting a wide range of activities from counselling and community care to high level advocacy through pressure on the government to take action against the epidemic and on discrimination against PLWHA.  GPV promotes the empowerment of people living with HIV and AIDS in Rio de Janeiro and in Brazil. 
This new three year plan represents a number of changes that GPV has been undergoing over the last few years. GPV will focus their next 3 year plan on consolidating their network of legal consultants, as well as trying to invest more in taking a more strategic approach to advocacy, involving PLWHA to ensure that they can gain the rights set out in the constitution and become protagonists in their own future.
Caring for Our Common Home: transformative connections towards climate, economic and social justice Brazil's Constitution guarantees the right to health and social protection. However the institutional and financial framework, coverage and access is inadequate. As a result, many of the poorest groups, particularly urban and rural periphery communities, lack access. Post-Pandemic, these groups are affected by cost-of-living crisis, high rates of unemployment, hunger, and GBV, and increasingly the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. 
Social protection safety nets including unemployment, maternity, disability and sickness benefits, and state pensions are crucial in providing protection and dignity in difficult time. Inequality in access to health, an ill in itself, also compounds other inequalities. Access to universal health care and social protection are cornerstones of resilience to shocks and stresses. For example, well functioning environmental health services can reduce risk of dengue and zika outbreaks, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Emergency payments can enable those displaced by flooding to survive and rebuild. However, such systems are often poorly prepared, under-resourced, inaccessible to those in most need and lacking in accountability to local communities. 

This project will support strengthening of activists and networks working to improve access to, coverage of and responsiveness of health and social protection systems in a context of increasing impacts of climate change related and environmental degradation. This will be carried out through training and accompaniment of leaders and civil society networks to enable more effective participation and monitoring of public policy processes, at local, subnational and federal level including of municipal and state-level plans and budgets and national level climate adaptation policies. In order to guarantee future sustainability and quality in the project, Grito will invest in institutional strengthening and communications capacity.
REPAM: interconnecting people and organisations in the Brazilian Amazon REPAM’s project goal is to defend the rights of the poorest and most marginalized populations and to protect the Amazon rainforest. Strengthening the presence of the Catholic Church and its social pastoral work, promoting integral ecology and working towards implementing the Amazon Synodal assembly's recommendations is REPAM' overall aims. The environment and communities have been under growing threat of deforestation, contamination from mining activities, expansion of agribusiness and impacts of mega infrastructure projects. Human and drug trafficking and migration have increased violence against indigenous groups, landless people and the missionaries/socio-pastoral staffs working with them. Project expected outcomes are strengthened Catholic socio pastoral work providing support to remote Amazonian communities to protect their rights, livelihoods, and the rainforest. REPAM’s project also aims to work on critical socio-environmental conflicts involving indigenous and rural traditional communities and building an active volunteer support base around REPAM Local committees in Dioceses of the Amazon. The main beneficiaries are poor and vulnerable communities in rural and urban areas, quilombolas, indigenous groups and socio pastoral workers.

BRA480_Pastoral Social The Brazilian National Bishop's Conference (CNBB) Comission aims at strengthening and integrating the work of the different thematic "Pastorais Sociais" through the Annual National Fraternity Campaign and the IV Brazilian Social Week, holding more than 250 events in the whole of the country throught the year.

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 system reform" in all different "Pastorais Sociais"; (2) training the clergy on the protection of social rights in the 17 Regional Meetings of CNBB; (3) advocating for CNBB to become actively engaged in lobbying the government in defense of social rights; (4) Monitoring the government's actions that affect social rights and informing the CNBB of the information collected; (5) strengthening the partnership between the Church in Brazil and other church-based organisations and social movements.
Administrative and Financial Health Check The overall goal of the proposed work is to perform a Administrative and Financial health check of Hutukara's systems in place. Covering CAFOD's grants from 2015-2016 and the Evan Cornish foundation's fund of £9,989.00 sent to HAY in March 2013.

There will be two final products: a) a diagnose of financial and administration systems in place with recommendations where necessary and  b) Five spreadsheets with an analysis with each of the projects' financial statement, confirming the initial balance, the funds received, financial income or other income, the aggregation of expenditure, the balance at the end of the project.

This consultancy is needed to abide by CAFOD's audit requirements and will serve as a capacity building exercise.
Research into Ficha Limpa Campaign and production of resources for campaigning This project will specifically focus on a case study of the Ficha Limpa (“Clean Record”) Campaign.  The Ficha Limpa law was the second law of popular initiative to become law in Brazil. Its campaign was promoted by some of the same people that pushed for the first Law 9840 in 1999 that banned vote buying.  The campaign put in the hands of civil society a tool to combat the theft of public monies and other criminal activities diverting resources from the poor, so entrenched in the Brazilian political society and one of the root causes of endemic inequality But it also provided a glimpse into a new way of popular participation. Through the mobilisation of citizens over a period of two years, led by the MCCE with our partners CBJP (Brazilian Justice and Peace Commission) as founding members, the Ficha Limpa campaign managed more than 1.6million signatures of the electorate to push for a discussion on the law in congress. At the end of this physical mobilisation a virtual campaign that gathered an extra 400,000 was also launched that together with the lobby of key actors, contributed to pushing the law through congress and pressured for a positive vote on the law. One of the key aspects of the campaign was this joining of classic mobilisation- getting signatures one by one through organisation of church groups at parish level, through community groups, through professional organisations – together with a ‘lightning’ digital mobilisation that managed to inundate the congress with telephone calls, emails, petitions etc through social networks. So wide reaching was this campaign that a recent well respected poll in Brazil showed that a full 85% of the population new what the Ficha Limpa law is. This proposal wishes to undertake a case study of the campaign process that led to the passing of the ficha limpa law-What made this campaign a success?  We wish to explore the tactics used by the main protagonists in the campaign and to understand how and where the offline campaign mixed with the online campaign to produce the successful result it did. Results of this study will be produced in an interactive digital format, with recommendations for partners advocacy work. We hope to specifically use this research as part of the capacity building we are doing with both the Economic Justice Programme and the Urban Programme where our focus is on increasing communications capacity for improved advocacy.
ISA Size of Wales Emergency response to health crisis in Yanomami Territory This rapid response project aims to improve the local capacity of the DSEI-Yanomami health teams in Auaris and Sururcucu to respond to the healthcare crisis in Yanomami Indigenous Territory in the northern Brazilian Amazon. It intends to contribute to improving malaria diagnosis by ‘thick smear’ analysis  and increasing the pro-active search for potentially affected community members to reduce the incidence and transmission of the disease. 

The project will buy two microscopes and additional laboratory supplies such as reagents and dyes and improve the infrastructure of the health centre in the Kalisi community in the region of Auaris, through the purchase of a 15 hp outboard motor (i.e. a small internal-combustion engine with propeller attached for mounting at the stern of the health team’s small boat). It is necessary for the project to purchase this equipment due to the emergency situation, in which ISA can allocate funds and procure these items far more rapidly than SESAI (the Indigenous Health Department), and respond directly to the most urgent needs based on direct contact with the local indigenous leaders in TIY, thus potentially saving many lives. 

Despite the Brazilian government’s efforts to prioritise removing 20,000 illegal miners from TIY and provide emergency healthcare, the problem is still far from being resolved. The Auaris region is currently experiencing an uncontrolled malaria outbreak. The health hub in Auaris registered 1,100 malaria cases between 01/01/2023 to 23/03/2023, in a total population of over 3,000 people - i.e.  more than a third of the population in Auaris has so far been infected with malaria in the first four months of this year. The local health teams urgently need support to control this epidemic via improved infrastructure to reach the most isolated communities, and adequate medical equipment.
Cry of the Excluded The Cry of the Excluded is a continental network present in 23 countries. It works around the general themes of integration, migration, debt, trade and militarization, as well as around the specific themes that arise from each country's context. The continental headquarter is in Brazil. 

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 seeks to: (1) bring about an increased social inclusion by: a) publicizing the Economic Justice Programme's theme "debt and social rights"; b) raising the awareness of the excluded in the Americas about their rights; c) strengthening the 12 October (in the Americas) and 7 September (in Brazil) as dates that symbolize the resistance and fight of the excluded; (2) promote the resistance, in every country where it works, to the social and economic models that keep the majority of the population excluded; (3) promote more transparency of the governments in relation to how they manage their debts; (4) strengthen the Economic Justice Programme partnership; (5) strengthen the Programme's work methodology at an international level.
Sao Paulo Emergency Response Phase 3 and 4: Putting food on the table in the Pandemic 20 months into the Pandemic Brazil has >613k recorded deaths, 22 million cases (Nov 2021). Sao Paulo has had >4.4 million cases and over 153,700 deaths. Economic impacts have affected poor urban people, especially women and mixed race and black people. 19 million face hunger and 117 million are food insecure. Extreme poverty has increased from 9 to 27 million (13% population). Social protection access and cover has shrank with the ending of emergency payments, and replacement to the Family Allowance, 'Brazil Assistance' inaccessible to the poorest. Solidarity donations have dried up. Inflation is >10% and prices of staples have risen - rice by 71% and beans by 56%. As a result many vulnerable people eat once a day.

The project provides 8 months of direct food and hygiene support to 5280 vulnerably housed and homeless people in favelas, occupations and slums of São Paulo through basic food baskets and cash transfers. 1000 households will receive food parcels for 9 months, and 300 will also receive cooking gas vouchers. 56 rubbish collectors will receive cash transfers. Families headed by women, with children, older and disabled people will be prioritised. Voices of vulnerable people will be heard during through project staff participation in coordination spaces with decision-makers.

The project will ensure that the most vulnerable have access to food and essential hygiene items and can survive the worst months of the health and economic crisis, avoid malnutrition and the weakening of the body’s systems to fight disease. Hygiene and cleaning items will enable vulnerable people to protect themselves against the virus and maintain dignity. Avoiding the need to choose between eating and paying rent will  reduce risk of homelessness.

In phase 4 (the final 5 months of the project), learning from phase 3 will ensure that cash transfers using pre-pay cards are further rolled out to approximately 10% of beneficiaries in tenements and occupations in a pilot initiative.
Sustainable development programme for landless farmers, bonded labourers & those impacted by mining This project is being undertaken by CPT Marabá, CPT Xinguara and CPT Tucuruí.
CPT in the south of Pará state was set up in 1976 as there were deep concerns with the extreme violence and injustice against poor landless farmers. It is a region notorious for violence and impunity with regard to large land owners. CAFOD have been working with CPT since the 1980s. 
This proposal is a development of CPT Xinguara (formally BRA427) and CPT Maraba’s (formally BRA404) work to date. The two CPT organisations will now work together under the one project, and will work with the staff of CPT Tucurui in the implementation of this project.
The goal of this project is to contribute to the improvement of living conditions of poor families that live in rural occupations, through accompaniment and legal support to families seeking to realise their right to land and the financial benefits to which they are entitled, that are a result of agrarian reform. The project will also support workers that are experiencing slave labour conditions and/or exploitation, and families and communities that are negatively affected by the impacts of mining expansion in the region. They intend to do this through direct accompaniment and support to those affected, as well as increasing the participation of families, communities and civil society in policy and public programmes at the local, state and federal level, with a view to assuring sustainable socio-environmental development in the south, south-east and Tocantins regions in the State of Pará.
REPAM Strenghtening democracy and soveranty of the Brazilian Amazon The REPAM Brazil project aims to support vulnerable Amazonian communities in their struggle against socio-environmental degradation. REPAM-Brazil's 2023-2026 plan prioritizes: 1. Advocating for rights and dignity; 2. Fostering intercultural dialogues within the Catholic Church in the Amazon; 3. Promoting socio-environmental justice, good-living, and our common home; 4. Building networks, alliances, and synodality. REPAM is a church-based organization, working with grassroots organizations, Dioceses, Prelature, and social pastoral agents across the Brazilian Amazon, focusing on women and young people. The project directly benefits1,585 people (505 women,  280 men, and 200 families ). Key outcomes include strengthening socio-environmental agendas and celebrating REPAM Brazil's 10th anniversary with increased visibility at COP30. Outcome indicators involve training 150 community leaders in human rights, nature rights, intercultural dialogue, active listening, and public policies. Additionally, the project empowers 150 Amazonian women through workshops and networking to defend human rights, and initiatives addressing violence and other vulnerabilities impacting women. The third outcome centers on exchanging successful agroecological, solidarity economy, and good living (Bem Viver) projects among REPAM's supported groups. This involves sharing successful experiences in the Amazon region, sensitizing community leaders and 12 groups about food security, food sovereignty, agroecology, and gender. Main project activities encompass long-distance training, online and face-to-face workshops, exchanges, seminars, and the production of communication materials such as booklets and videos. The project aims to foster coordination and mobilization among women, and grassroots leaders in the region to defend rights, propose public policies, demand implementation from duty bearers, and strenghthening living well practises safeguarding the region's socio-biodiversity.
Ecclesial Panamazonian network - Brazil national commission This project continues its assistance to the CNBB’s Ecclesial Pan Amazonian Network (REPAM) in its support for indigenous peoples, rural communities and other groups who have been severely impacted by the advance of mining, large infrastructure projects and climate change in the Amazon region.  It aims to enhance the action of the Catholic Church in the region, through establishing a platform for exchange and collaboration which supports and articulates the efforts of the missionary religious congregations, dioceses and secular organisations working in defence of the Amazon forest, the local populations and the common good. 

It will achieve this through:

•	definition of strategies, goals, procedures and a basic agenda and structure of work for the coming years;
•	dissemination of REPAM mission, vision and values and objectives among the bishops, congregations, missionaries and CSOs in the Amazon region;
•	training and other joint initiatives aiming to strengthening advocacy of the Catholic Church at local, national and international level in defence of the region and vulnerable populations.
Improving food security and climate resilience in Southeast Piauí This two year project seeks to improve food security, nutrition and income of 180 families, including a strong focus on female farmers, via climate resilient agroecological farming practices, in 5 rural communities from 3 municipalities in South-east Piaui. The project focuses on the themes of food, climate and gender and is supported by a major donor (covering replacement and special funds). 

Key expected changes include: increased access to healthy agroecologically produced food; improved income of farming families through commercialisation of agricultural produce surplus at local markets; improved gender relations amongst men, women and young people from these farming families (including women’s empowerment and participation in decision making spaces in the community); and increased diversification of their agricultural production and regeneration of degraded farmland, contributing to mitigating local climate impacts in the semi-arid region of South-east Piaui. 

These will be achieved via: 8 training workshops on agroecological and climate resilient farming practices, and 8 workshops on gender relations; setting up a community solidarity fund in the five communities to serve as an investment fund for current and future family and community-based agricultural initiatives; technical agronomist support to 180 families from 5 farming community groups to plant agroecological kitchen gardens, 18,000 fruit seedlings, and install 5 native seed banks in communities; technical support on commercialisation of produce at local markets including equipment and value chain inputs.
