A/HRC/21/44 and the achievement thereof is based on the population’s wish to participate in the rebuilding of the country and its ability to develop innovative forms of solidarity. (b) The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), affiliated with the Brazilian Ministry of Health, is involved in the establishment of an antiretroviral production plant in Mozambique. The project includes multidisciplinary implementation such as training of local technical staff in surveillance, inspection, certification and control of medication, and also its production and commercialization processes, so that the Mozambican regulatory agency can efficiently implant the antiretroviral (ARV) production plant. Fiocruz is renowned worldwide as a leading research centre for the control of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, inter alia. One of Fiocruz’s main missions is manufacturing strategic products for the Brazilian Unified Public Health System (SUS). With one of the largest public pharmaceutical laboratories in the country—the Drug Technology Institute (Farmanguinhos)—Fiocruz has vast experience in production technologies for drugs used in HIV/AIDS treatment. 51. Brazil’s first Human Milk Bank (HMB) was opened in 1943. In 1985, as a result of research, technology development, teaching and consultancy work invested by Fiocruz, HMBs developed to become the key elements in the establishment of what is known today as the world’s largest and most complex HMB network, the foremost government strategy to reduce infant mortality. It is a model that combines high reliability and technical accuracy at a low operating cost. In 2001, the World Health Organization awarded the HMB network a prize for the greatest contribution to reducing infant mortality and promoting breastfeeding in the 1990s. International cooperation is increasing steadily as a result of the efforts of the Brazilian Cooperation Agency, with 19 projects already implemented in Latin America and the Caribbean, together with initiatives reproducing the Brazilian model in African countries. European countries such as Portugal and Spain have adopted the HMB technology developed by Brazil. Social protection: towards realizing the right to an adequate standard of living 52. The international policies of Brazil on cooperation mirror its domestic social policies such as: Brasil sem Miseria (Brazil without extreme poverty) Fome Zero (Zero Hunger), the National School Feeding Programme, Bolsa Família (conditional cash transfer programme), Luz para Todos (electricity for all), Casa para Todos (housing for all), and most recently Brasil Carinhoso (Caring Brazil), an extension of Bolsa Familia especially for families with children 0 to 6 years old. 53. Given the positive results achieved in recent years, the Brazilian government through its Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger, has been encouraged to put a special effort on social policy technology transfer, and to strengthen social development beyond its borders, putting into practice the so-called ―diplomacy of social policy‖ that is presently being implemented. 54. International cooperation in the social field is guided by: a focus on building institutional capacities in partner countries; the importance of the multiplier effect in cooperation projects; cultural and linguistic similarities; and the transfer of social technology adaptable to local contexts. The following are a few examples of ongoing cooperation. (a) Brazil-Africa Programme for cooperation on social protection is the outcome of a partnership between the Ministry of Social Development, UK-DFID and the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG). The cooperation was developed in four areas: regional technical cooperation, technical assistance, study missions and distance learning. The countries involved are Angola, Ghana and Mozambique. 11
