interventions in the city of Rio de Janeiro and two other smaller communities:
Complexo do Alemão, Manguinhos, Rocinha,
Preventório, Pavão Pavãozinho and Cantagalo

The Social Work of PAC is divided into three different areas:
I. Census: draw up a "picture" of the communities: conduct a Household and Business
Census, resulting in a complete register of all residents of the area, their needs,
deficiencies and problems. (http://www.egprio.rj.gov.br)
II. Social Work in two branches: Impact Management and Sustainable Development,
improving the reality of the territory and its citizens, promoting better quality of life for
them.
III. Land Regularization: ensuring the right to the land.
• Minimize the negative impacts to the everyday life of the community and
maximize the positive impacts;
• Create job and income opportunities for the local community
• Sensitize local actors to strengthen the sustainability of the project;
• Develop professionalization and training activities with community residents
to strengthen community organization.
• Implement a local Social Work Branch to create space for dialogue and
mediation
