Vamos

This partnership operates in a collaborative and coordinated way focused on the articulation and mobilization of people, knowledge and resources – which contributes to promoting and disseminating a culture of engagement, valorization and strategic management of people who work in the public and in the third sector.

VAMOS relies on four pillars of action: (i) Knowledge production and dissemination; (ii) Recognition, innovation, and search for solutions; (iii) Articulation, mobilization, and legitimacy; (iv) Creation and strengthening of the ecosystem.

VAMOS Partnership supports initiatives that can influence a better personnel management policy in the public sector, especially because there is a belief that this is a key element to contribute to quality public services and to enable third sector leaders and organizations to act as transformation agents.
