Find out more about PDCIS, the social program through which we promote sustainable territorial development in vulnerable regions

We promote sustainable territorial development through PDCIS, our social program, which includes actions in six integrated fronts, aiming to combat poverty and inequality: education for sustainable development; environmental conservation; economic development; innovation and technology; citizenship and governance, and cohesion and social mobilization.

PDCIS was created in the Brazilian northeast in 2003, and is a social technology of proven impacts that strengthens family farming, respecting the vocation of the communities that have  benefited, leveraging economic growth with inclusion, in harmony with the environment.

Our social program has been implemented in the Southern Bahia Lowlands for almost 20 years.  Having proven the impacts of PDCIS, we have established its systematization, facilitating the reapplication of this program in other unequal contexts.

Our activities

From our social technology, we have joined forces to combat poverty and inequality,  mobilizing the public authorities, private initiative and civil society, to promote sustainable territorial development in vulnerable regions.

This participative governance is strengthened by our work in partnership with civil society organizations in the places where we operate. Together, we have taken on the commitment that  young people and their families can live in the countryside, in harmony with the environment.

Do you know what the acronym PDCIS stands for? The program was created by  Norberto Odebrecht, our founder, and the acronym in full is the Program of Development and Growth Integrated with Sustainability.
