IIPP is at the forefront of global debates on the role of the state in shaping sustainable and inclusive economies and on the public sector capabilities this requires. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to robust research, analysis and writing on a high-impact policy project. This project will focus on the strategic coordination of the Government of Brazil’s economic agenda, which has the potential to bring economic goals into alignment with social and environmental goals, and on the design of key policy tools, institutions and capabilities required to implement it – including procurement policy, state-owned enterprises and digital governance.

This project builds on Professor Mariana Mazzucato‘s previous work with ECLAC on the opportunity for mission-oriented industrial strategy in the region –> ‘Transformational change in Latin America and the Caribbean: A mission-oriented approach’. It is being advanced in partnership with Brazil’s Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) with support from Open Society Foundations.
