About
Overview:Brazil is a country that has experienced enormous progress in recent years. However, it is still marked by considerable social and economic inequalities directly related to unequal access to opportunities along with gender and ethnical-racial discrimination. This is intensified by the wide gap between the country’s legal and political frameworks and the current reality of women, afro-descendants and ethnic populations that are most exposed to these inequalities. The government has acknowledged gender and ethnic-racial inequalities and begun to address them in both the National Pluri-annual Plan (PPA) and in the National Plan of Women’s Policies (NPWP). The III National Conference for Women’s Policies organized in Brasilia in December of 2011, with the participation of the UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet, resulted in the update and ratification of the II Plan of Policies for Women, which was recently approved. During the Conference, over 2,000 women established a platform for women’s policies at municipal, state and national levels. In addition, there is a National Plan of Policies to Promote Racial Equality (NPPPRE) designed to address a set of resolutions from the 2005 I National Conference of Policies to Promote Racial Equality. More recently, the National Plan of Sustainable Development of Afrodescendant Traditional Communities and People (NPSDATCP) was launched. The Interagency Programme came to complement the work of the government. However, given the geographical and demographic size of the country, the intervention, limited in scope and reach, concentrated its efforts around four outcomes. While in some cases attribution of results to the Interagency Programme is difficult and, at times, not yet supported by quantitative or qualitative evidence, it is possible through construction of the comprehensive logical counterfactual approach to identify evidence and examples that support the idea that the Interagency Programme effect or impact towards development, although limited, was indeed important in the scope of the Brazilian development context in relation to the promotion of gender, and ethnic-racial equality. For example, the financial support of the JP was crucial in ensuring substantive participation of indigenous women to the III National Conference for Women’s Policies. Another example is the technical and financial support provided to the development of the NPSDATCP. The gender, race and ethnicity indicators of the governments’ new PPA 2012-2015 did not allow comparison with results from previous yeras. There is, however, evidence of progress and increased mainstreaming in the PPA 2012-2015. From the results of the qualitative indicators of the Bulletin of Social Research of the IPEA (a research institute linked to the Federal Government), there is progress on issues of mainstreaming gender and race into public policy, but much remains to be done. Due to the time-frame of Programme’s evaluation it is not possible to adequately estimate the attribution that the implemented initiatives will have in terms of development outcomes. A proposal was therefore made for a new assessment four years from now to infer whether, and how, the JP contributed to the achievement of the development outcomes. As a result of the mid-term evaluation, striving to strengthen its ethnicity component, the Interagency Programme included Afrodescendant Religious Groups, Quilombolas, Roma and Kalom populations. There has been a noticeable increase in participation and dialogue of excluded populations in decision-making processes, thanks to the openness of national counterparts in the policy dialogue.
