Brazil holds runoff elections at the end of October, with former president Lula da Silva competing against the incumbent president, Jair Bolsonaro. The winner of this contest, along with the new congress, is due to start another term in January.
On 31 October, the Lemann Foundation Programme for the Public Sector will hold a panel discussion seeking to look ahead and consider Brazil’s policy needs. It will touch upon the bureaucracy and fiscal management and will feature the team’s recent research findings on perceptions of educational needs and realities faced by low-income households.
The panellists will be Timothy Power (head of social sciences, University of Oxford), Gabriela Lotta (professor, Getúlio Vargas Foundation, Sao Paulo), Leany Lemos (visiting fellow of practice), Anna Petherick and Filipe Recch.
