COUNTRY PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE SUMMARY[1]

Reporting period: 2012-2016

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During the 2012-2016 UNDP Brazil has supported government’s efforts for the reduction of the extreme poverty by 75% and has lifted 45 million people into the middle class. UNDP efforts to reduce poverty also included a statement which was used as a key advocacy tool to avoid budget cut of Bolsa Familia Program which guaranteed the benefits to over 13 million families in 2016.

Between 2012 and 2015, UNDP made notable contributions to poverty reduction and improve quality of public services in Brazil. The “Human Development Atlas”[2] became a key input to the distribution of services in the territory, such as the “Mais Médicos” program[3]. Likewise, UNDP continued supporting Brazilian traditional peoples and communities (indigenous, agro-extractive communities and quilombolas) regarding land rights, food security and health. UNDP supported the design and implementation of “Sustainable Quilombo” platform[4], produced to monitor governmental services in quilombolas communities.

UNDP was a partner of choice to the Brazilian South-South Cooperation headed by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) - through the exchange of knowledge on social and agricultural technologies, technical assistance; advocacy and activities developed by a vast number of projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. During the Programme Cycle 2012-2016 projects have delivered US$ 69M with over 1000 bilateral interventions in more than 80 countries implemented with UNDP’s Support. UNDP support to Haiti on the expansion of immunization, epidemiologic surveillance, training health professionals and community agents has been remarkable. The technical assistance included the construction of 3 community hospitals, opened in April 2014 and fully functioning in 2015.

From 2012 to 2016, UNDP has supported governmental policies such as Bolsa Verde, PRONAF, Brasil Quilombola, to improve living conditions and human development of indigenous, rural, extractivists and traditional populations. It improved environmental management of 30 indigenous territories. Regarding agro-extractive communities, UNDP fosters biodiversity conservation by training and supporting more than 5000 families sustainable harvesting techniques for a variety of wild species of Cerrado and Caatinga ecosystems that would otherwise be converted to crop or eucalyptus monocultures or pasture. UNDP supported the Ministry of Environment to monitor emissions and increase charcoal efficiency in Minas Gerais state. In 2015, 20 public institutions were selected to participate of the energy efficiency financing program that provides credit and technical guarantees for projects through the Energy Efficiency Guarantee to reduce 2 million ton of CO2 in 20 years.

In 2015, UNDP continued a partnership with an implementing agency Technology Center for Bio Ethanol for development of (SUCRE). This initiative produces electricity from sugar cane bagasse and trash with 3 pilot power plants, allowing for studies on sustainability levels for production and for the use of this technology to produce electricity for the grid and clean energy from biomass.

In 2014, UNDP and UN Women partnered to create the “Young Women Leaders”, a mentoring project to strengthen the leadership of 15 young women of a diverse group to facilitate the connection of women at top positions and young activists to foster the exchange of experiences from intergenerational viewpoints. The main results of the programme were, according to the young women: self-esteem increase, peers’ recognition, network development, new communication skills. In 2015, UNDP developed a SSC between Brazil, Mozambique and Angola Governments, together with UNFPA and UNWOMEN facilitation and DFID funding to strengthen protection, prevention and response to Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV).

Over the past years, Brazilian Government understood better the criminality phenomena, taking prevention into consideration. UNDP introduced the Citizen Security (CS) approach, gradually obtaining buy in from public security community in Brazil. The Joint Program on Citizen Security (JPCS) implemented the approach in three cities: Vitoria (ES), Lauro de Freitas (BA) and Contagem (MG) with good results. For instance, in Contagem the homicide rates for teens and young adults (10-24 years) have dropped to 0% in three areas where the approach was implemented. A toolkit containing diagnostic tools, local planning and training courses about CS methodology was developed to disseminate the methodology, including the innovations of the pilot experience that might be also useful for the Regional Center.

UNDP established partnerships with Global Centers, such as the Istanbul Private Sector Centre on inclusive business and IPC-IG on poverty reduction, social protection system. It also partnered with otherUN agencies, such as UNOPS, UNWomen and UNFPA, with bilateral donors, such as DFID and with multilateral banks, such as IDB. UNDP also counted with support from  RBLAC Hub in Panamá on the issues of Citizen Security, gender, social participation, transparency/corruption and disaster risk management. Further, UNDP supported the Rio+ Center for Sustainable Development in financial, operational and political/technical terms.

Also in the second half of this programming cycle UNDP partnership with private sector has been strengthened taking a step forward to integrate low income individuals into the market. In this path, UNDP launched the "Incluir Initiative", a report that aims to contribute toward the discussion by introducing 19 examples of business success that respect the environment, promote social inclusion of low income population and are financially viable. It also shows that a supporting ecosystem is required so these initiatives can reach scale, increasing their chance of helping generate economic and social value as well as ensuring long term survival.

In 2015, UNDP supported national capacity building for piloting of SDG monitoring system by elaborating the publication “Following-up the 2030 agenda for sustainable development: Initial inputs from the United Nations System in Brazil". UNDP also has been positioning itself, from 2015 onwards, as the SDGs goalkeeper, organizing communication campaigns and disseminating SDGs to influence public policies formulation and political platforms in future elections.

|The UNDP Brazil CPD (2012- 2016) identified four major outputs to support the Government in achieving this outcome: (1) National Human development reports produced and disseminated; (2) i) Eradication of Extreme Poverty |

|in Brazil, ii) Localization of MDG Goals in Brazil, iii) Increased Private Sector Participation in MDGs' Achievement, iv) Transition MDGs-SDGs; (3) Improve management, monitoring and evaluation of policies that affect MDG |

|Goals, such as AIDS, Food Security, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development; and (4) Strengthening of public policy institutional arrangements with focus on specialized studies and systems. |

| |

|Progress and Achievements: |

| |

|At the end of the cycle 2012-2016, a great number of databases has become public and accessible to general public, democratizing information and providing tools for public policy and planning. In 2014, UNDP contributed by |

|producing and disseminating the Human Development Atlas (HDA) of 16 Metropolitan Regions. In 2015, UNDP reached 20 Metropolitan Regions by launching the HDA of another 4 Metropolitan Regions (Baixada Santista, Campinas, |

|Maceio and Vale do Paraiba e Litoral Norte) (CPD#29.1). |

|In 2014, UNDP promoted the Social Participation Arena, an event that gathered 2500 people to debate the MDG and the post 2015 agenda, in partnership with the Presidency’s office. During the event, the 30 initiatives winners |

|of the 5º MDG Award were announced, amongst 1000 candidates from 804 civil society organizations and 286 municipalities. In the same occasion, the 5º National MDG Report was launched with IPEA (CPD#29.2). Finally, the event |

|also hosted the presentation of new MDG Portal, that gathers MDG information of all 5564 municipalities with 2 million accesses per year. Further, during the Arena UNDP contributed to the promotion of an important debate on |

|the new civil society legal framework which will seek to simplify and expand the relationship of civil organizations with the Government. Also UNDP mobilized over 50 NGOs working with sports for development to discuss the |

|revision and renewal of the Incentive Law for Sports which allows the private sector to apply 1% of their due taxes to non-professional sports, including community-based and educational. Still with the civil society, the CO |

|stimulated the establishment of 110 new local centers for the promotion of the MDGs (an increase of 19%, totaling 559 nuclei in the country). These nuclei received technical assistance, training and funding to mobilize |

|support from local government, civil society and the private sector to put in place policies and programs that contributed to the MDGs. The CO also supported the executive secretariat of the Brazilian Global Compact, |

|contributing to the 18% increase in the number of associated companies, from 538 to 657 in 2014. |

|Also in 2014, UNDP’s International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) signed the ‘Initiative for Knowledge and Innovation for Poverty Reduction’ together with the Ministry of Social Development and Fight Against |

|Hunger (MDS), the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the World Bank to unite efforts and experiences to promote the exchange of successful practices in the fight against poverty. The initiative serves as a |

|source of reference for other countries wishing to build or enhance their social inclusion policies and expand cooperation with other countries, states and cities. |

|Over the last twelve years, Brazil has managed to reduce extreme poverty by 75% and has lifted 45 million people into the middle class. Private sector is now taking a step forward to integrate low income individuals into the|

|market. In this path, UNDP launched the "Incluir Initiative", a report that aims to contribute toward the discussion by introducing 19 examples of success of business that respect the environment, promote social inclusion of|

|low income population and are financially viable. It also shows that a supporting ecosystem is required so these initiatives can reach scale, increasing their chance of helping generate economic and social value as well as |

|ensuring long term survival. |

|Regarding implementation of health, UNDP supported the National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance program that defines standards for medical supplies and equipments with the technical assistance of an national and |

|international network of laboratories and think tanks. This program has been created important changes in medical and pharmaceutical industries benefiting all users of National Health System (SUS) . |

|Regarding monitoring, Brazil has been recognized for achieving most MDGs and has built in the past fifteen years a comprehensive institutional framework to monitor its progress In 2013, UNDP was designated leader agency of |

|the post 2015 consultations task force. In all, 19 consultations were carried out, in partnership with UN agencies, involving the participation of 1234 people from marginalized groups, including young girls, indigenous, |

|transsexual men and women and afro-descendants. All this previous work is generating great demand related to SDGs. UNDP is supporting the piloting of SDG monitoring system in Brazil (CPD#29.2). UNDP was nominated chair of |

|the UNCT task force that elaborated the publication “Following-up the 2030 agenda for sustainable development: Initial inputs from the United Nations System in Brazil". |

|The UNDP Brazil CPD (2012- 2016) identified two major outputs to support the Government in achieving this outcome: (1) Technical advice for the institutionalization of participatory mechanisms for indigenous peoples and |

|traditional populations in programmes oriented to achieve environmental sustainability and poverty reduction; and (2) Low carbon strategies adopted in Brazil and widely disseminated. |

| |

|Progress and Achievements: |

|From 2012 to 2016, UNDP has supported governmental policies such as Bolsa Verde, PRONAF, Brasil Quilombola, to improve living conditions and human development of indigenous, rural, extractivists and traditional populations |

|(CPD#30.1). It improved environmental management of 30 indigenous territories. Regarding agro-extractive communities, UNDP fosters biodiversity conservation by training and supporting more than 5000 families sustainable |

|harvesting techniques for a variety of wild species of Cerrado and Caatinga ecosystems that would otherwise be converted to crop or eucalyptus monocultures or pasture. |

| |

|Brazil is also more aware of climate change challenges, implementing low carbon strategies, with focus on environmental and social issues. In this sense, a Green Grant (Bolsa Verde) has been established to favor populations |

|that live in protected areas and rural settlements to increase families’ income and preserve ecosystems. UNDP support these strategies by fostering associations and committees of traditional populations to participate in |

|design of management plans for protected areas. It build capacity of 297 counselors from almost 30 Extractive Reserves (RESEX): Rio Jutaí, Auati-Paraná, Baixo Juruá, Terra Grande, Pracúba, Arraial do Cabo, Costeiro-Marinho, |

|Mata Grande, Canavieiras, Rio Ouro Preto. UNDP also contributed to Bolsa Verde by registering eligible families in 77 conservation units and assisting in structuring its monitoring system (SISVERDE). |

| |

|UNDP produced the carbon emissions inventory of the 6 host cities of 2013 Confederations Cup and 12 host cities of the 2014 World Cup. Based on this experience, it is expected that compensation mechanisms will be applied in |

|future events hosted in the country. |

| |

|UNDP supported the Ministry of Environment to monitor emissions and increase charcoal efficiency in Minas Gerais state. In 2015, 20 public institutions were selected to participate of the energy efficiency financing program |

|that provides credit and technical guarantees for projects through the Energy Efficiency Guarantee to reduce 2 million ton of CO2 in 20 years |

|(CPD#30.2). |

|UNDP Contribution: |

| |

|CP Outputs |

| |

|The UNDP Brazil CPD (2012- 2016) identified three major outputs to support the Government in achieving this outcome: (1)Citizen Security methodology disseminated and promoted through pilot projects, for adoption at |

|different levels of government; (2) Humanized treatment of migrants, immigrants and refugees in Brazil; and (3) Promote human rights and access to judicial systems. |

| |

|Progress and Achievements |

| |

|At the end of the cycle 2012-2016, the Ministry of Justice is in better position to improve policies because it has better data, statistics and diagnosis. UNDP contributed to increase information about criminality by |

|producing the first National Victimization Study. The study revealed that more than 32% of Brazilians, which live in cities above 15,000 inhabitants, have been victim of crime or offense. The most common crimes are |

|aggression or threats (14,3%), followed by discrimination (10,7%), thefts (9,8%) and fraud (9,2%). Most violations occur inside the victims’ house (38,3%), nearby street (33,3%) and neighborhood (14,9%). |

| |

|Over the past years, Brazilian Government understood better the criminality phenomena, taking prevention into consideration. UNDP introduced the Citizen Security (CS) approach, gradually obtaining buy in from public |

|security community in Brazil. The Joint Program on Citizen Security (JPCS) implemented the approach in three cities: Vitoria (ES), Lauro de Freitas (BA) and Contagem (MG) with good results. For instance, in Contagem the |

|homicide rates for teens and young adults (10-24 years) have dropped to 0% in three areas where the approach was implemented (see ). A toolkit containing diagnostic tools, local planning |

|and training courses about CS methodology was developed to disseminate the methodology, including the innovations of the pilot experience that might be also useful for the Regional Center. |

|On Humanize treatment of migrants, immigrants and refugees in Brazil (CPD#31.2), in 2015 the country received 2.097 Syrian refugees of which 400 were included in Bolsa Familia Program. UNDP contributed to the I National |

|Conference on Migration and Refuge (COMIGRAR) to promote dialogue of political actors in the migration area. Around 556 delegates of 21 states participated in the Conference organized in partnership with the Ministry of |

|Justice and International Organization for Migration (IOM) in 2014. In 2015, GoB followed COMIGRAR recommendations. |

| |

|The final evaluation of the Joint Program on Citizen Security (2013) concluded that the JPSC: (i) was relevant to the Country on the theme of public security, especially in violence prevention and reduction with a focus on|

|children and youth, particularly at the municipal level”; (ii) “ had adequate design to national needs, although the outcomes were very ambitious for implementation in only 36 months and with little experience of certain |

|agencies working with local governments”; “vii) established a strategy to strengthen community participation, public managers and leaders through local Committees, who took ownership of the methodology and processes for |

|monitoring the implementation of public security policies; and (viii) established important synergies with some National Programs running in the municipalities to increase continuity after completion although it did not set|

|a phasing-out strategy.” (p. 4, 5) |

| |

|Regarding the promotion of human rights and access to judicial system (CPD#31.3), in 2013, Brazil has deepened its commitment to democracy, transparency and human rights through the creation of the National Truth Commission |

|(CNV). UNDP contributed this commitment by: (i) supporting the drafting legislation that created CNV, Law 12.528/2011; and (ii) operationalizing CNV’s functioning. First, the Government of Brazil resorted to UNDP’s |

|neutrality and credibility both to advocate for the creation of CNV but also to support the drafting of legislation. UNDP experience and knowledge also brought international experts from Argentina, Guatemala, Peru, El |

|Salvador and Paraguay to enrich the policy formulation |

| |

|In 2014, the final CNV report was disclosed revealing that during the military dictatorship period (1964-1985), 50.000 people were illegally arrested in the country and listing the 434 persons that were executed or |

|disappeared. The Commission has also identified 258 persons responsible for death and tortures, clarifying death circumstances of several victims. Processes of victims’ exhumation and identification remains were also |

|promoted by CNV, allowing victims’ families the right to have a proper funeral to their relatives. In the Commission has interviewed 1.117 persons and held 80 public sessions. As a result, the final report presented the |

|biography, details of human rights violations and describes the repressive system operation. Finally, it recommended the extinction of the National Security Law, the military justice and the military police; the improvement |

|of human rights curricula in military academies; and the end to the ‘resistance’ classification – used to record killings by police officers, frequently used to cover up executions. In 2015, the final report was delivered; |

|records were systematized and transferred to the National Archive. |

| |

|Brazil implemented the National Plan on Risk Management and Disasters’ Response from 2012 to 2014, the first nationwide coordinated initiative encompassing prevention, mapping, alert and response. According to the Atlas |

|Brasileiro de Desastres Naturais, since 1991 a mean of 1.363 disasters were registered every year in the country, totaling 31.909 events, 73% in the past decade. Droughts represent 50,34% of registers, but floods and |

|slidings have increased 21,7 times in the past 20 years, killing 2,500 people from 1991 to 2010. In 2014, UNDP contributed with the organization of the II National Conference of Civil Defense, which joined 1500 delegates to|

|define new guidelines for the civil defense policy. The preparatory process involved 25 state and 460 municipal level conferences (2.359 municipalities and 28.293 participants). UNDP also developed 34 training sessions on |

|disasters risk management, reaching 1250 people from 421 different municipalities in Brazil. |

|According to The Map of Incarceration, a UNDP study released in 2015 Brazil hold the fourth largest prison population in the world with 715.655 people in jail, behind the United States, China, and Russia.  The Brazilian |

|inmate population increased 74% –boosted by arrests of young and black people.  Prisoners are increasingly between the ages of 18 and 29 (54.8 percent) and black (60.85 percent), with a growing presence of women (from 4.35 |

|percent in 2005 to 6.17 percent in 2012).  Greater imprisonment did not reduce homicides as demonstrated, given that most of prisoners were arrested due to offenses against property and “involvement in drug trafficking”. |

|Further, on average 38 percent – or four in every ten inmates – are awaiting trial. |

| |

|UNDP established a dialogue on Drugs Policy with Ministries of Health, Justice, Human Rights, the Judiciary, Academics and UN Agencies UNODC and PAHO. Brazilian Legislation does not establish objective criteria to |

|distinguish trafficants and users based on amount and nature of drugs apprehended. The police discretion is increasing the incarceration of young black men and women due to institutional racism. The Supreme Court should |

|define objective criteria in the near future to decrease incarceration numbers in the country. |

|CP Outputs |

| |

|The UNDP Brazil CPD (2012- 2016) identified two major outputs to support the Government in achieving this outcome: (1) i) Number of Countries that benefit from Brazilian experiences through SSC programmes ii) number of |

|health units built/reformed/equipped in Haiti delivering services to the population iii) number of scholarships awarded to health agents and health technicians in Haiti; and (2) Brazilian SSC programmes and projects |

|supported technically and operationally by UNDP globally. |

| |

|Progress and Achievements |

| |

|At the end of the cycle 2012-2016 UNDP contributed to Brazilian SSC by: (i) supporting the institutional strengthening and expertise of Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) and ii) operational support to the delivery of 300 |

|SSC activities in more than 80 countries . ABC has over the last couple of years increased its capacity to manage knowledge and support recipient countries in the adaption of policies to the local context. ABC counts with |

|strong support from sector ministries and has been developing a number of management tools to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. UNDP contributed to the institutional strengthening and technical expertise of ABC |

|through the creation of SSC management guidelines, namely: Technical Missions Guidebook, SSC Management and Mission Reporting Handbooks . These guidebooks became ministerial decrees nº 179 and 182 of April 14th 2015, which |

|are systematization of good practices in legal, regulatory and policy frameworks for SS&TC in Brazil . |

| |

|An example of UNDP’s contribution to SSC, the Brazilian National School Feeding Program (SFP) has been recognized to influence the World Food Program (WFP) approach to Africa, particular with regard to local purchase of |

|food, building of kitchens and food storage in schools. The WFP desk review about the program states that: “Brazil’s National School Feeding Program, provides an example of strong synergy and coordination between several |

|implementing agencies, and an effective local purchase strategy”. Under the framework of SSC and supported by UNDP, twelve countries have visited Brazil to learn about SFP: Congo, East Timor, Guinea Bissau, Rwanda, Niger, |

|Malawi, Guinea Conakry, Senegal, Ghana, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Zambia and Ivory Coast. |

| |

|UNDP together with International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG), UNFPA and UNWOMEN implemented another innovative joint SSC initiative, with DFID funding, focused on social protection and women empowerment with|

|the following outputs: i. launch of Brazil-Africa Social Protection Online Community ; ii. IPC-IG is supporting the design and implementation of a M&E course in Mozambique.; iii. 2 exchange missions of UNFPA, UNWOMEN, |

|Brazilian and Mozambique Government to strengthen protection, prevention and response to Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV); iv. UNDP launched the bidding process to adapt human milk bank building to Mozambique context.|

| |

|UNDP’s International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) has also been a SSC think tank. In 2014, IPC signed the ‘Initiative for Knowledge and Innovation for Poverty Reduction (World Without Poverty –WWP)’ together |

|with the Ministry of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger (MDS), the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the World Bank to unite efforts and experiences to promote the exchange of successful practices in|

|the fight against poverty. The initiative will serve as a source of reference for other countries wishing to build or enhance their social inclusion policies and expand cooperation with other countries, states and cities. |

|In 2015, IPC-ig/UNDP promoted a series of webinars on: social single register, multisector coordination tools, integration of social policies on conditional cash transfers. WWP also launched the “Quick Questions” video |

|series where social managers from other countries ask technical questions to Brazilian social specialists and other 24 videos available. |

| |

|UNDP has contributed to Brazilian SSC engagement in Haiti post-earthquake. A sophisticated triangular cooperation was set up with Haiti and Cuba to restructure Haitian health system. Brazil supported Haiti post-earthquake |

|with US$ 350 million, out of which US$ 53 million has been channeled through UNDP to support the Haitian Ministry of Public Health (HMPH). UNDP supported the expansion of immunization, epidemiologic surveillance, training of|

|Haiti health professionals and community agents. The technical assistance given by UNDP has allowed Haiti to recover part of its health services, strengthening Haiti’s Health Authority, including the construction of one |

|rehabilitation center and orthosis /prosthesis lab and 3 community hospitals, opened in April 2014, with 7000 equipments delivered. UNOPS and WHO/OPAS were two key partners in Haiti in supporting the implementation of some |

|of these results. A maintenance plan for the hospitals was elaborated in partnership with Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, which also trained HMPH staff in hospital management, to ensure sustainability of services. |

|Summary of evaluation findings (e.g. from outcome and project evaluations, UNDAF reviews, and other assessments) |

|Based on the evaluation s and/or assessments undertaken please provide a brief summary of the overall findings on the CP for the 4 year period in terms of performance effectiveness and efficiency and key achievements and |

|lessons learned. Maximum 500 words. |

| |

|Key Achievements: |

| |

|Between 2012 and 2015, UNDP made notable contributions to poverty reduction and improve quality of public services in Brazil[5]. The “Human Development Atlas” became a key input to the distribution of services in the |

|territory, such as the “Mais Médicos” program, that allocated 14.000 doctors in low HDI municipalities[6]. Likewise, UNDP continued supporting Brazilian traditional peoples and communities. Around 53,000 indigenous people |

|had the opportunity to lead healthier lives due to the introduction of eco-stoves[7]. UNDP was a partner of choice to BSSC headed by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) - through the exchange of knowledge, technical |

|assistance and advocacy on social and agriculture projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. |

| |

|In high MIC as big and diverse as Brazil, UNDP’s value added lies in our capacity to design and produce knowledge in a systematic and quality manner. Brazilian government is interested in tailor made UNDP global knowledge |

|products to the country reality. This has proven an effective way to increase reputation, credibility and reposition UNDP in development arena.The last Assessment of Development Results (2011) done for Brazil, pointed out |

|that Programme relied too heavily on domestic resources and cooperation could gain greater value by increased exchange of international experiences. Since then, the CO has made efforts to move in this direction and continue|

|to expand its international partnership within UNDP, think thanks and other UN Agencies and international organizations. In addition, it partnered RBLAC, and BPPS. In 2015, the CO set up a key partnership with the Istanbul |

|Private Sector Centre on the issue of inclusive business and markets. |

| |

|Finally, SDGs platform has opened opportunities for dialogue and establishment of new partnerships. |

| |

| |

|Major Lessons Learnt: |

| |

|UNDP should improve communication and dissemination of results and knowledge products, continuously receiving feedback for program enhancement[8]. UNDP should also improve projects’ monitoring[9] and work with disaggregated |

|data. Finally, it should work more intensely across the territory, especially with poorer states and municipalities[10]. |
