About Us

The SPI Brazil is a collaboration between the Amazon Institute for Man and the Environment (Imazon), the Avina Foundation, the Amazon Entrepreneurship Center, the Amazonia 2030 initiative, Anattá - Research and Development, and the Social Progress Imperative. SPI Brazil also received support from specialists in various areas, who provided guidance in the construction of a framework of indicators for calculating the index for the country. The index will be updated annually, focusing on measuring real results in social progress, not just investments, to assess whether the basic needs of the population are being met.
