Brazil : Training and supervision of young independent entrepreneurs
Dialog Instituto is helping to reinforce initiatives to boost the local economy and promote greater social harmony in difficult neighbourhoods.
The Alemão favela in Rio de Janeiro has a population of about 120,000 from the poor and middle classes. The project will help create and oversee micro-enterprises, and is mainly aimed at the favela’s 48,000 young people, aged between 18 to 29 years (20% of the population).
The project intends to establish a network of grocery distributors, by strengthening existing and potential local small traders. It will also help to promote more formal forms of employment in these communities, as well as creating new job opportunities for young people, enabling them to play a more active role in the socio-economic life of the favela.
Through the presence of teams from Carrefour and the professionalism of Dialog Instituto, talks between the communities and business could also provide access to a better diet for those living in the favelas.
The project will start in 2011 and will continue for three years, in collaboration with staff from the 13 Carrefour stores in Duque de Caixas, Norte Shopping and Sulacap.
