As a way of strengthening cooperativism and associativism, the Renova Foundation, through the Program for Economic Development and Diversification (PG18), created and implemented the project for the Development and Strengthening of Solidarity-Based Enterprises (SBE) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), in the municipalities affected by the Fundao dam collapse, in Mariana (MG).
