• Trump, Mexico, and Latin America: A Discussion on the Regional Consequences of the U.S. Election »

The Brazil Brown Bag Seminar Series invites you to its discussion titled, “Challenges to Establishing a Results-Oriented Management Culture in Rio de Janeiro’s Public Sector” with Carolina Kuenerz Haegler, Professional Fellow at the Institute of Latin American Studies, Columbia University.

Public management that is focused on results is one of the most important themes in Brazil today and efforts to its implementation have been growing during the last years. Despite the efforts, many of them don’t last after government’s transition and changes in leadership. In this talk, the focus will be on analyzing some of these recent efforts and understanding which aspects can guarantee, or not, their capacity to maintain a sustainable culture of results-oriented management. The sustainability capacity of theses initiatives are analyzed on the following aspects: strategies used to develop and engage public servants; capacity to improve leadership; channels for civil society participation; capacity to create a culture of innovation performance; tools to measure social value and social impact.

Carolina Kuenerz holds a bachelor degree in Psychology at PUC-RJ and a Master degree in Human Rights at LSE. She worked for 8 years at Rio de Janeiro State Government, developing projects focused on improving efficiency in public management, leadership capacity and improving public servants’ management and efficiency.

Não há muito o que dizer diante de um acontecimento tão terrível. Gostaria de convidar você e todos os citizengoers para participarem de mais esta demonstração de apoio e solidariedade.  Vamos enviar milhares de e-mails ao endereço eletrônico do Chapecoense. Basta clicar na imagem ou no link abaixo para deixar sua mensagem pessoal: http://citizengo.org/pt-pt/sy/39283-envie-sua-mensagem-solidariedade-ao-chapecoense Não deixe de compartilhar a campanha com seus familiares e amigos. Desde já agradeço o seu apoio! Atenciosamente, Guilherme Ferreira e toda a equipe de CitizenGO P.S.: No mesmo dia dessa tragédia o Brasil também testemunhou, estarrecido, outro gravíssimo atentado contra a vida humana: a decisão do STF de afastar a prisão preventiva de dois assassinos de crianças indefesas, sugerindo, portanto, que não é crime matar um nascituro até o 3o mês da gestação. Em breve enviarei outra mensagem para lhe explicar o que podemos fazer em relação ao tema. É preciso deixar claro que um dos objetivos da manobra foi preparar o terreno para a liberação do aborto de bebês cujas mães são diagnosticadas com zika, o que, por sua vez, será usado como precedente para legalizar completamente o assassinato de nascituros em nosso país.   P.S: 2 Um dos ministros que colaborou com a libertação dos dois assassinos (que, diga-se de passagem, esquartejaram uma mulher que morreu durante um aborto realizado por eles) dá palestras para a Open Society, fundação criada e mantida por George Soros, o metacapitalista que quer impor a todos os países ocidentais a legalização das drogas, o aborto irrestrito, a ideologia de gênero, etc.

Seu Jorge, one of Brazil’s most talented contemporary singers, rose to international fame in the Wes Anderson film A Life Aquatic.  In his acclaimed role as Pelé dos Santos, a singing sailor, Seu Jorge performed several of David Bowie’s songs in the film. But in a twist, he did it in Portuguese, accompanying himself simply on acoustic guitar. Seu Jorge’s adaptations in Portuguese of David Bowie’s music underscore the breadth and depth of his compositions and have gone on to have a significant cultural impact.
In commemoration of David Bowie’s recent passing, Seu Jorge performs a special tribute to him while recreating the set to the film A Life Aquatic on stage alongside screens crafted as boat sails that will be displaying images from the film.
“Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs in Portuguese, I would never have heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with.” — David Bowie
