In response, dozens of groups fed data into the Covid-19 in Favelas Unified Dashboard, that tracked the disease across 450 favelas in Rio de Janeiro.

[Catalytic Communities (CatComm) @CatComm]

The Favelas Unified Dashboard, facilitated by Catalytic Communities, was cited in a recent New York Times opinion piece. Written by Dr. Amy Maxmen, the piece shows how local solutions to systemic problems faced by favelas help build trust amongst residents.

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

“Lessons lie in Brazil’s favelas because, in the face of decades of government neglect, many have created internal systems to support one another,” writes @amymaxmen. https://t.co/wX6zijSKDq

[Catalytic Communities (CatComm) @CatComm]

With a special focus on Covid-19, the author mentions how many inside favelas suspected that official counts ‌had underestimated ‌caseloads.
