Second step – the people
We have chosen acting in a bottom-up way.• We are running a pilot project in some São
Paulo East side communities• There are many districts which sum up to 3
million people• Poverty concentration and lack of urban
facilities
ODDC Networking Meeting – April 2013, London
How ?
• Around 100 local leaders and citizens will use the tool in a sistematic way
• We have a very important partner, Our São Paulo Network, which is almost 600 social movements network in São Paulo City.
• We expect to contribute with them by giving elements in order to ask for better information
