Brazil

Andreia Rabetim

Andreia RabetimSince graduating from CEDPA’s 2005 Global Women in Management workshop, Andreia Rabetim has been working at Companhia Vale do Rio Doce Fundacao to promote corporate social responsibility and sustainable development throughout Brazil. Most recently, her foundation partnered with a local government to build the local government’s capacity in fundraising and proposal-writing, both areas in which Andreia strengthened her skills during the 2005 workshop. As a result, the local government was able to raise $140 million in funding from the federal government. Andreia credits the CEDPA workshop with giving her the capacity to bridge the communication gap between the corporate and social sectors. Andreia wanted to share her experience and wisdom with others, so she came back to Washington for the 2009 CEDPA Alumni Coaching workshop. (February 2009)
