Lessons from the
Field
|
Brazil
UNFPA has adopted a strategy of “selective collaboration” with the Catholic Church in Brazil: identifying and working together in those areas where objectives coincide, while respecting the boundaries inherent in each partner's mandate. |

-
Even within seemingly monolithic institutions, there are different schools
of thought. Recognizing this can provide openings for work with nontraditional
partners.
-
Adopting a strategy of selective collaboration becomes possible when all
partners agree to respect each other's mandates and beliefs, while demonstrating
the openness and willingness to work with each other within the boundaries
set by each institution.
-
Supporting grass-roots organizations whose networks and coverage are extensive,
especially among women, can be a way of broadening UNFPA's reach.
