The city of São Paulo promoted the second workshop of the project "Reduction of inequalities with a Focus on Cross-Cutting Perspectives of Territory, Gender, RaceEthnicity in Public Policies" on Friday, 23rd of April. The initiative is developed in partnership with Niterói (RJ), La Paz (Bolivia), and Buenos Aires (Argentina), in the context of the South-South Cooperation Project of the Mercocidades Network. The workshop was attended by civil employees of the cities involved in the project to deepen discussions on data disaggregation focused on gender, race, and territory in the municipality.

During the activity, the participants discussed the panorama of each city about public policies directed to reducing inequalities and the process of data disaggregation. The participants of each city prepared a presentation to evaluate the strength, opportunities, weaknesses, and threats of the municipality. The topics analyzed were public policies, information disaggregation, reduction of inequalities, and production and disclosure of information. At the end of the event, the cities' representatives identified the areas in which the city has an interest in developing on the project, and in which areas and matters presented by other cities called their attention to elaborate a possible partnership or exchange of good practices.

The workshop provided an exchange of experiences and information between the employees of São Paulo, Niterói, La Paz, and Buenos Aires, in addition to strengthening the relationship between the cities. The objective of this project is to provide discussions on reducing the inequalities in the municipalities from the perspective of data disaggregation's importance centered on three views (territory, gender, race/ethnicity) and will be developed, remotely, during 2021.
