Leveling the Playing Field for Quilombola Communities in Northeastern Brazil

Development Objective

To empower poor and remote quilombola communities in Northeastern Brazil by building social capital and facilitating their access to existing public and private resources. Specifically the grant aims to address some of the key barriers that block these remote quilombola communities from improving their situations: (i) lack of or weak community organizations essential for collective action and prerequisites to access multiple programs; (ii) lack of access to information of all kinds; (iii) lack of appropriate and participatory technical assistance; and (iv) lack of experience with the preparation of community initiatives for external financing.
