First ‘Energy Efficiency in the Favelas’ Report Reveals New Insights About the Impacts of Energy Inefficient Services and Use on Poverty and the Exacerbation of Inequalities
By Favelas Unified Dashboard

The Favelas Unified Dashboard, facilitated by Catalytic Communities, was cited in a recent New York Times opinion piece. Written by Dr. Amy Maxmen, the piece shows how local solutions to systemic problems faced by favelas help build trust amongst residents.
“Lessons lie in Brazil’s favelas because, in the face of decades of government neglect, many have created internal systems to support one another,” writes @amymaxmen. nyti.ms/3KLzbNE
With a special focus on Covid-19, the author mentions how many inside favelas suspected that official counts had underestimated caseloads.

In response, dozens of groups fed data into the Covid-19 in Favelas Unified Dashboard, that tracked the disease across 450 favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
