We are a political foundation that fosters democracy on a world-wide basis

The Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation (KAS) is an independent and non-profitable political foundation from Germany. Our actions are based on the values of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a political party in Germany. In Germany and worldwide we support democracy, rule of law, human rights and political education as well as social market economy, decentralized and sustainable development.

Since 1969, the KAS has been active in Brazil. We bring contemporary and future multipliers from politics and society together with opinion leaders from the academic and scientific areas and foster the dialogue about Brazil’s biggest challenges, always in cooperation with local partners.

Our work includes these project areas:

• Political Education
• Rule of Law and Public Policy
• Decentralisation and Sustainability
• Global Challenges and Regional Order
