Abstract:“This note aims to document Social Technologies (STs) that have strongly influenced public policies in Brazil, as well as government efforts—through adoption/adaptation and funding—to contribute to the development and dissemination of STs. The main areas in which STs are applied (and fostered) in Brazil are adaptation to the semi-arid region and prevention of natural disasters, food security, education, energy, housing, income, water management, income generation, health and the environment.” (…)
