Urban Programme Climate Justice and a Fair City - 2016 bridge project (APOIO) This one-year bridge project seeks to extend the current phase of programme work on decent housing and climate change with CAFOD partners MDF and APOIO, continuing work on programmatic priority areas, incorporating a renewed focus on land tenure and use advocacy and dissemination of the pilot project on sustainable housing and urbanisation developed in 2015. This project will also incorporate lessons and recommendations from the 2013-2015 EU project external evaluation and findings, consolidating existing results in the current political and economic context and developing new areas of work to guide the next urban programme priorities from 2017 onwards. Using their past experience, participatory approaches and successful methodology of popular education, community organisation, women's participation and advocacy work, local partners APOIO and MDF will seek to influence the implementation and coordination of housing, climate change other and pro-poor urban policies. 
In spite of being one of the most affluent regions in Brazil, São Paulo has seen an increase in pockets of poverty and extreme poverty in the last decade, with many of the region's poorest citizens, around 30% of the population, living in favelas, informal occupations and precarious housing. The dynamic of land valorisation in the region is forcing the poorest population to live in degraded areas far away from jobs, basic services or in watershed areas and areas of environmental risk, vulnerable to flashfloods, landslides and climate impacts, aggravating existing socioeconomic vulnerabilities. The recent water supply crisis faced by São Paulo has impacted disproportionately on the poorest population, who are suffering ongoing water rationing, and higher costs of water and energy bills. Since 2011, São Paulo has seen a growth of 264% in urban occupations as a result of a housing deficit of 230,000 homes and the hike in land and rent prices which make housing unaffordable to the poor. 56% of the population living in these informal settlements lack access to water and sanitation services, which are restricted in areas that have no formal land titles. 
This project will tackle three inter-related problems to guarantee more effective social inclusion and urbanization: a) the lack of implementation of legal frameworks for land tenure regularization in the cities informal settlements and favelas, to reduce violent evictions, and improve land security and access to public services, such as water, sanitation and housing; b) The need for housing and social inclusion urban policies to take into account environmental factors and climate change adaptation and vice versa; c) building the awareness and capacity of women and men in the favelas, informal settlements and occupations and the housing movement leaders to know their rights and influence the above policies.
REPAM - Ecclesial Panamazonian network - Human Rights Training School and Advocacy This project continues CAFOD's assistance to the Ecclesial Pan Amazonian Network (REPAM) in its work to support indigenous peoples, rural communities and missionaries and church's staff working in the wide Amazon region to promote and protect their human rights. These communities 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 regional Human Rights training school to train community leaders, missionaries and pastoral workers to protect the human right of the local populations including their livelihoods and the common good.
It will achieve this through:
•	setting up  the HR training school, definition of school's structure, training methodology, curriculum, selection of trainers, application and selection systems, carrying out training and after course accompaniment.
•	to promote HR advocacy - selection of emblematic cases from course's participants, preparation of cases, visibility and communication, presenting and following up cases presented to Inter American Human Rights court and local courts.   

This approval is aligned with CAFOD's strategic priorities 1.3 and 1.1 to improve governance and human rights issues in the global South due to the interventions of the Catholic Church and Laudato Si influences and informs development and programmes.
COVID-19 Emergency Response: Life on the streets in São Paulo - solidarity and resistance (Grito) By the end of July 2020 Brazil had over 2.4 million confirmed Coronavirus cases and near 90,000 deaths, with 0.5 million in São Paulo (SP) alone and 21,000 deaths. Cases continued to rise as the country reopens. Health services were reportedly near to collapse and 58% of recorded deaths  occurring at home. The number of street homeless is likely to be in excess of the official figure of 24,000 people due to the economic impacts of COVID-19. This group is at high risk of direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19 due to difficulties self-isolating, prevalence of pre-existing health conditions including respiratory illness, poor nutrition, drug and alcohol problems, and difficulties in accessing health and social protection services, including COVID emergency benefits. This project will provide emergency relief (non-food items), advocacy and accompaniment to access services to ensure that street homeless people survive the crisis and can maintain their dignity, are able to access longer-term support and can influence government actions and programmes that affect them. The project will provide life-saving support to 3000 street homeless people in central São Paulo through provision of  hygiene kits, sleeping bags and tents, accompaniment to access health and social protection policies, and referrals to other services. Information about the needs of street homeless people will be shared with duty-bearers at local and subnational government via the PopRua government-civil society dialogue mechanism, thus benefiting street homeless people across the city.

HAY Mining, Health and Communications Project Despite the fact the Yanomami people were granted the right to their territory in 1992, illegal gold miners continue to enter their territory, creating violence, disease, and polluting rivers from mercury used in the extraction of gold. In addition, quality health services in indigenous communities are in crisis in Brazil – many lack medicines, drinking water and transport for patients to reach health services in their communities, and only 2.2 per cent of communities are connected to a sewerage system. The infant mortality rate in indigenous communities is double the rest of the country’s population. 

Therefore, the main objective of this project is to protect Yanomami and Ye’kuana communities against illegal gold mining, and increase their access to quality health services through the improvement of communications and information sharing between HAY and three vulnerable communities in TIY. 

Key activities include: (i) installing three radios in three communities in TIY that are particularly vulnerable to mining threats and health problems; (ii) training communities on how to use and maintain the radios as a form of constant communication with HAY on threats; (iii) publish 2 bi-annual newsletters on mining and health in Portuguese and Yanomami to raise awareness of indigenous rights and threats posed to indigenous communities; (v) publish 2 public reports on mining threats and health problems and service deficiencies in TIY, (vi) lobby for and accompany the process of removing illegal invaders, and the implementation of permanent inspection of lands by governmental authorities, including FUNAI; and (vii) update their website: http://hutukara.org/ with news articles on progress of HAY’s work.
Women in Defence of Social Rights: Jubileu Sul This project will build the capacity of poor and excluded women and men living in Fortaleza and São Paulo to understand, claim and defend their social rights, particularly to health and social protection, in a context in which these constitutionally guaranteed rights are threatened by extreme austerity measures, dismantling of key institutions, regressive policy changes and growing social intolerance and discrimination of the poorest. Direct beneficiaries will include former prisoners, indigenous people, young people and informal waste management workers, of whom at least 60% will be women. This will be achieved by training and accompanying autonomous groups of women and indigenous people using 'social mapping' and participatory research to enable beneficiaries to identify the roots of their exclusion, understand their rights and the changes proposed to the constitutional rights, and to develop their capacity/skills to promote change in their reality, strengthening their organisations and preparing them to participate and advocate in local and national spaces for social accountability. The training will be supplemented by development of didactic materials. They will link with local and national church networks and CSOs with common interests and together they will hold local and national authorities to account for decisions that affect the social rights of the most vulnerable. Members of their communities will benefit indirectly by information sharing  and ways of accessing to social rights, ensuring the poorest have access to social benefits - such as maternity benefit, and defending existing services - such as health facilities, and reducing or barring the impact of policy changes which will most negatively impact the poorest.
Research on key themes in Brazil and production of resources for Brazil's 2016-2021 Strategy Plan This consultancy aims to provide the Brazil and Paraguay team with research material, data collection and analysis and an insight into themes and tendencies in Brazil for the next five years. With this research/report we also wish to understand  how these trends will impact the most vulnerable groups in the country and explore possible areas of work that could alleviate that impact. The research will focus on the most vulnerable groups in society (rural and urban) and will provide insights and analysis on the following areas: Social; Politics; Economics; Technology and Environment and the role of Brazil in the world. 

Another objective of this consultancy is to have an interactive discussion with the Brazilian report to the United Nations on the Millennium Development Goals which will be presented in July by the government and where new objectives will be agreed. 

We hope to specifically use this report as a guidance in helping us define and re-define our work strategy in Brazil for the period of 2016-2021.

Indigenous People Participatory Video Training Pilot Project CIMI Tefe and Hutakara are both key partners in the Indigeonous Support Programme. In order to support these indigenous peoples organisations fulfil their advocacy aims, CAFOD has proposed a pilot participatory video 'training for trainers' workshop with the partner staff, which will involve working within two indigenous communities. The indigenous communities will be trained in how to use video as a tool to advocate for change to public policy, increase public awareness of the issues faced by indigenous people and show national and international audiences the sustainability of indigenous peoples' livelihoods. The training will enable the partner staff to go on to train other indigenous communities in using participatory video as an advocacy tool. If successful this training may be rolled out to other partners in the indigenous support programme. This is a joint ID and CCS project which has come about as a result of a recent successful participatory video 'training for trainers' project in Sierra Leone which produced significant learning that CAFOD is keen to utilize and build upon.
Institutional strengthening of Hutukara Associação Yanomami (HAY) The Hutukara Yanomami Association was created in 2004 to represent the Yanomami people externally and is engaged directly in policy, advocacy and self-protection initiatives. HAY is a representative indigenous grassroots organisation which undertakes long distance communications and regional meetings with indigenous communities to identify the key threats and issues that they face, and then uses this information to lobby key governmental bodies, such as FUNAI, DSEI-Y and SESAI to protect indigenous rights. The project aims to strength Hutukara's leaders' ability to advocate on behalf of the Yanomami and to improve living conditions in Yanomami indigenous territory (TIY).

HAY works with the approximately 17,000 Yanomami living in TIY that are relatively isolated, with little access to the outside world. Their communities were invaded by over 40,000 gold miners in the 1980s, and 20% of the Yanomami people died over the course of 7 years due to disease and violence. The Yanomami and Ye'kuana people were officially granted rights to the TIY in 1982, however land invasions continue, such as illegal gold-miners and farmers, and communities are increasingly feeling the impacts of climate change, which is affecting their health, food security and environment. Other key challenges that the communities are facing include inadequate health service provision in TIY, lack of access to quality bi-lingual education and the need for indigenous cultural preservation. 

The aim of this project is to ‘Strengthen the presence of HAY in the grassroots communities by working directly with the people that inhabit the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (TIY)’. They intend to do this through three outcomes-
1.	20 communities within the TIY are communicating and discussing with HAY, which will increase the participation of traditional leaders, young people and women,
2.             HAY develops the land management plan for TIY
3.             HAY’s administrative and financial management systems are improved.
Caritas Brazil emergency appeal for flood funds - 2009 Weeks of heavy rain in the N&NE of Brazil caused heavy flooding which left an estimated 40 people dead and hundreds of thousands homeless or displaced.  260 Municipalities in the Maranhao and Piaui states (both among the poorest in Brazil) are on emergency alert. Caritas Brasil has launched an appeal with Caritas Internationalis members for funding which will allow regional and diocesan Caritas organisations to get vital supplies to those most in need and especially to those who are in areas which have been cut off from the main transport routes because the roads are impassable.  CAFOD will support Caritas to increase their capacity to carry out the work of collection and distribution of emergency supplies to 5000 affected families.
Socio-environmental participative survey in the Auaris Region, Yanomami Indigenous Land.

Research, analysis & publication of reliable information about indigenous people and lands in Brazil ISA (Instituto SocioAmbiental) is a Brazilian not-for-profit civil society organisation, founded in 1994, with the aim of finding integrated sustainable solutions to social and environmental issues that guarantee the collective rights of indigenous people. ISA focuses on the defence of the collective good and social rights related to the environment, cultural heritage, human rights and people.  ISA is structured around programmes that are based on the following activities; i) monitoring and proposing alternatives to public policies; ii) research, distribution and documentation of socio-environmental information; iii) development of participatory sustainable socio- environmental models; iv) institutional strengthening of local partners. 

CAFOD directly funds one project that is part of ISA’s large portfolio of work. The title of the project is  ‘Research and Monitoring of Protected Areas and the Analysis and Dissemination of reliable information about indigenous people and their lands in Brazil.’ The aim of project is to guarantee the constitutional rights of indigenous people, related as much to their land as to their traditional methods for managing their land, health and education, through positively influencing the development of public policies that recognise the rights of indigenous people and their lands, as well as the exclusive use of the natural resources and decrease discrimination.
