Abstract:
This paper analyses policies by former Presidents Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff, since 2003: referred to here as the ‘Lula-Dilma project’. This paper investigates Brazilian government projects, to assess how successful their policies were (compared to the period before Lula became President). Topics discussed include education, healthcare, and attempts to reduce corruption in Brazil. The Lula-Dilma project could be followed by other countries, as part of their development programs.
