Social Participation and Monitoring of Public Policies in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro

Local organizations in urban Rio de Janeiro have limited ability to weigh in on public policy decisions and access to funding to carry out their proposals to propel development in their communities.

The IAF promotes grassroots development by increasing marginalized communities? access to financial and technical support.

Our grantee Casa Fluminense will award approximately 130 small grants to local organizations to fund local community priorities including those which generate economic growth and increase public safety.

Through its grantmaking program Casa Fluminense will allow participants to have a greater voice in municipal policies and budget administration that impact marginalized populations in Rio.
