SPI BRAZIL

Brazil needs a new measure that evaluates and quantifies what really matters to people, going beyond the economic context - after all, economic development does not necessarily represent social development. The Social Progress Index Brazil, developed using the Social Progress Imperative methodology, was created to meet this need. It is a territorial management tool based on public data, which identifies and presents, on the same scale, whether people have what they need to prosper, from basic needs such as shelter, food and security, to whether they have access to information and communication, and whether they are treated equally, regardless of gender, race or orientation.

SPI Brazil is the most complete index of the socio-environmental reality of all 5,570 municipalities in the country. The index provides a multidimensional and accessible overview of the performance of municipalities and states in meeting the basic needs of their citizens.

SPI Brazil 2025 is composed of 57 secondary indicators from public sources that are exclusively social, environmental and measure results, not investments. These variables have been aggregated into a general index, with a score from 0 to 100, and indexes for 3 dimensions (Basic Human Needs, Foundations of Wellbeing and Opportunities) and 12 components (Nutrition and Basic Medical Care, Water and Sanitation, Housing, Personal Safety, Access to Basic Knowledge, Access to Information and Communication, Health and Wellbeing, Environmental Quality, Individual Rights, Individual Freedoms and Choice, Social Inclusion and Access to Higher Education).
