Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Brazil

The Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) is an independent, non-profit German political foundation which acts nationally and internationally for peace, justice and freedom. Our main mission is to defend democracy and promote the social market economy based on the values of Christian democracy. In addition, we seek to strengthen transatlantic relations through international cooperation, and to this end we have more than 107 offices worldwide. We focus our work on key themes such as innovation, representation and participation, and security.
We have been operating in Brazil since 1969 and we concentrate our activities on four thematic topics: Political Education, promoting citizens’ participation in politics; Rule of Law and Public Policies, which trains multipliers on themes such as Human Rights and Democracy; Sustainable Development and Decentralisation, where we promote meetings with local leaders and mandate holders in order to promote good governance and sustainability; and Global Challenges, where we stimulate relations not only between Europe and Latin America, but also between Brazil and Germany, under the prism of cooperation and international relations.
