The Development of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) reflects our collaborative way of working and our understanding that to overcome the country’s challenges, it is essential to support, from within, the institutions that work moving the causes we support.

It is a systematic effort designed to scale up the actions we develop and finance in partnership. In this sense, since 2018, Humanize has implemented a transversal and integrated program with the areas of Sustainability and Public Management, with the proposal to contribute to the strengthening of the CSOs’ ecosystem.

We work with over 90 partner organizations that help us to enhance the positive impact of the initiatives of our portfolio. By strengthening the institutional framework, we are dedicated to contributing to the amplification of learning and the capacity to generate impact.

The challenges become even greater when they involve initiatives that work with socio-biodiversity chains. Aiming at contributing to a more favorable environment for impactful businesses, […]

Honey

The honey chain reflects the efficiency of bees as pollination agents. They have, for example, the ability to increase grain yield and still live in harmony with agriculture. In Brazil, meliponiculture and beekeeping activities generate many jobs. While the first deals with raising bees that are native to Brazil and that do not have a […]
