LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

Beginning of a new cycle with ten active partnerships, which are responsible for the shared management of more than half of the projects portfolio. There is also a direction of strategies that involve articulating institutions and sectors; strengthening individual capacities; and developing institutional capacities in a way that is increasingly focused on territories and populations in a situation of socio-environmental vulnerability (with low use of their potential when it comes to promoting a more sustainable development). There is, therefore, a transition process in which the previous learnings lead the institution towards a new period – one that points to the continuity of its programmatic strategy and portfolio management, but consciously seeking to achieve greater territorial impact.

FIRST CYCLE EVALUATION - REFLECTIONS, LEARNINGS & PLANNING A NEW TRIENNIUM (2022-2024)

The year is marked by the transition process between the end of the first cycle, including the analysis of its first results, and the beginning of a new triennium. Strategic planning that will guide Humanize’s activities from 2022 on.

Blended Finance and challenges facing the pandemic

Structuring blended finance mechanisms for socio-biodiversity chains worked in Humanize priority territories. Strengthening of collaborative networks and performance reassessment; including redirection of resources to emergency actions to combat Covid-19.

Institutional Development

Creation of a program for institutional strengthening and development of Civil Society Organizations.

65% increase in investment in projects with partnerships.

Period completed with 69 active projects and 14 alliances in various stages of implementation.

Strategy development and creation of the alliance concept

Year marked by the transition of the ISP portfolio and by the development of the Humanize strategy, in addition to the definition of sustainability and income generation as important causes. Also, the programs Sustainable Use, Entrepreneurship and Socio-Environmental Impact Businesses, and Public Management were created.

It was also the year of the creation of the ‘Aliança para Liderança de Impacto no Setor Público e no Terceiro Setor’, formed by Lemann Foundation, República.org, Brava Foundation and Humanize. A movement that reinforced the importance of innovation for the Institute, as well as the concepts of partnership and co-financing.
