As the fifth-largest country in the world, Brazil’s immense territory is matched by its incredible diversity. But how can a country of this scale continue to progress without leaving anyone behind?
It is no easy task, but the data is lighting the way. We share the latest data insights from the new 2026 Brazil Social Progress Index to learn more about the country and how leaders are turning data into impact.
