Leaders committed to a more just country and a more efficient public sector

In 2022, we continued with our partners in the mission to recognize, connect, develop, and value people who are leading or have the potential to use their talents to combat inequalities and engender social transformation.

To this end, we expanded the leadership development opportunities offered by the Brazilian third sector, promoted the focus on racial equity, developed assessments, and mobilized resources. The goal is to boost the ability of more and more leaders representative of the country’s diversity to make significant contributions.

We also focused on people management training in the public sector by investing in partnerships with organizations specialized in stimulating innovative policies for attracting, selecting, developing, and retaining leaders committed to an efficient Brazil.

More leaders for equity

In 2022, more than ,000 leaders who work in Education, Social Development, and Public Management were trained or supported by the programs of the Lemann Center for Leadership for Equity in Education, Vetor Brasil, Ensina Brasil, Fundação Estudar, Instituto Four e Gerando Falcões’ Falcons University.

We also strengthened our partnership with Chevening scholarships and fellowships, now focused on racial equity and have already secured three new scholarships for Brazilian women and men. That number will grow in 2023 with a new partnership with Fulbright, which, in three years, will generate 18 new scholarships for Black and Indigenous students at some of the best universities in the world. Additionally, the Behring Foundation supported ten fellows at some of the best Engineering and Computer Science schools.

11 students completed their candidacy

25 were selected for the new Instituto Four preparation program

Alcance is a career booster for those who lack the financial means to study abroad. Only a few Black or Indigenous people follow this path of professional development. That is our greatest purpose: to democratize access and generate opportunities.

The program is central to having more leaders representative of our diversity occupy relevant positions.

Izabella de Souza
Consultant for the Alcance Program at the Lemann Foundation

The program goes far beyond preparing to study abroad. Being part of the group that was selected along with me added to my learning and, to this day, inspires me to be a better person. We received support from Brazilian and foreign mentors. We had access to platforms and participated in events, such as the Four Summit and the Lemann Foundation’s Annual Meeting.
