Brazil

Leader of Chapter:Miguel Foguel - Instituto de PesquisaEconômica Aplicada (IPEA)

The Brazilian Chapter was created in the end of the 1990s and has been active since then. Over the years, the NIP in Brazil has organized broad and specific seminars to discuss themes that fall under the umbrella of poverty and inequality. Apart from the academic community, the seminars have always been attended by Brazilian policy makers allowing the evidence discussed in the events to influence policy decisions. Courses have also been organized to provide post-graduate students in different parts of the country with high quality teaching and material covering methodological and substantive issues.

Brazil has already a relatively large academic group that works on a continuous basis on issues related to the themes of the NIP. The organization of the seminars has thus the objective of creating the opportunity for these researchers to exchange ideas and improve the quality of their work. But most researchers in this group are concentrated in a few states in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais). Thus, whenever possible NIP seminars take place in less academically developed areas of the country and the courses offered to students during these events are intended to help to spread the production of research on inequality and poverty in the country.

Paraguay

Leader of Chapter: Luis Ortiz- Instituto de Ciencias Sociales (ICSO)

Paraguay's Chapter was formed in April 2014. Since then ICSO and CADEP coordinated a first event with the chapter's seal, which was very important locally. This first event was the Conference on Poverty and Inequality, where two unpublished research made by young researchers were presented. These research papers were funded as part of a competition launched publicly. The winning research were selected from a blind system, and subsequently received tutoring and guidance. This process allowed the improvement and quality of the event and the research papers respectively.
