Hand in Hand
Strengthening access to information and public policy advocacy.
This initiative focuses on empowering and connecting users through transparent access to information and local engagement.
It aims to produce, through community listening, data collection, and the dissemination of studies and research, greater awareness about citizenship rights and social assistance policies — benefiting society, public managers, workers, and organizations that act (or not) primarily within the social assistance field.
By participating in activities across ten territories, we also develop monitoring and citizen oversight actions regarding the effectiveness of social rights, as well as violations — demanding from public authorities and control bodies that social services, programs, and projects operate with quality and accessibility.
