Commitment to Structural Justice
Agenscia is committed to continuously integrating principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion across all dimensions of its institutional work.
We recognize that building an infrastructure for applied health science requires acknowledging and addressing historical inequalities that shape access to science, innovation, and development opportunities in Brazil.
Diversity of perspectives, trajectories, and lived experiences is not only a value, but a necessary condition for better decision-making, responsible innovation, and meaningful public impact.
HOW WE GUIDE OUR WORK
Architecture of our approach
Our commitment
We foster a fair, respectful, and inclusive institutional environment in which individuals have meaningful opportunities for participation, development, and leadership. Equity does not mean treating everyone the same, but ensuring that each person has the conditions to fully develop their potential.
Guiding principles
- Equity
We recognize structural inequalities and act intentionally to reduce barriers to access, participation, and development. - Diversity
We value the plurality of people, contexts, and perspectives, recognizing that complex health challenges require multiple viewpoints. - Inclusion
We work to build environments in which different voices can participate meaningfully, with respect, active listening, and real conditions for contribution.
How this commitment translates into practice
Institutional culture
We aim to build an environment grounded in respect, responsibility, and collaboration, with no space for discrimination or exclusion.
Criteria and processes
We incorporate principles of equity and transparency into criteria, partnerships, and forms of institutional participation.
People development
We recognize the central role of people in building Agenscia and support the development of diverse capabilities over time.
Institutional action and relationships
We consider equity, diversity, and inclusion in how we structure initiatives, select partners, and engage with the broader ecosystem.
Institutional responsibility
This is an ongoing commitment. Agenscia will strengthen its practices progressively—recognizing limitations, learning from experience, and continuously refining its approach to ensure alignment between principles and implementation.
Our position
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are not peripheral dimensions. They are integral to building a legitimate institutional infrastructure capable of generating sustainable public impact in health science in Brazil.
