Our History

Motriz was created from the merger of two leading organizations in strengthening public management and public education in Brazil: Vetor Brasil and Instituto Gesto. With nearly ten years of experience, these organizations joined forces to enhance outcomes and expand positive impact.Motriz emerges to play an even stronger role in supporting the development and implementation of more effective, inclusive, and diverse public policies and services.
