Updated reasoning: Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents South-South institutional capacity building, including Brazil–Haiti health services, rehabilitation, water and training, with partner participation. Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.

Earlier reasoning: Transitional proxy or benchmark; no invented five-part direct audit.

MCMV subsidized housing still usually requires financing or household contribution.","healthcare":"SUS provides nationwide universal public healthcare without direct patient fees, including primary and specialist services. Queues, coverage unevenness and gaps in access keep this below 4\/4.","transportation":"Fare-free or discounted interstate journeys for specific eligible groups exist; nationwide ordinary urban\/regional travel is not fare-free.","water_energy":"Luz do Povo guarantees no electricity consumption charge on up to 80kWh a month for qualifying low-income households; this is means-tested and household water remains generally charged."}

Updated reasoning: Brazilian Cooperation Agency documents South-South institutional capacity building, including Brazil–Haiti health services, rehabilitation, water and training, with partner participation. Deforestation and commodity-related ecological impacts create real cross-border concerns, and independently verified long-run mutuality is incomplete. Scoring values are a TBF normative assessment of the cited evidence, not a claim that assistance quantity equals verified benefit.

A US$3.31m plastic scrap import stream is documented; risk judgment moderated by smaller available trade observations. The score measures a documented material-transfer pressure and policy response under TBF standards, not verified toxic exposure.
8.99 million kg of plastic scrap exported, far below the biggest exporters reviewed; recorded transport still carries handling work. The score measures a documented material-transfer pressure and policy response under TBF standards, not verified toxic exposure.
Export role +20 and import role +5. 8.99 million kg of plastic scrap exported, far below the biggest exporters reviewed; recorded transport still carries handling work. A US$3.31m plastic scrap import stream is documented; risk judgment moderated by smaller available trade observations. Source-linked authored TBF judgment. Plastic scrap trade and reusable garments are differentiated: a shipment is not presumed to be illegal dumping.

Every recorded change
Each archived event is preserved. Category details and sources begin from the first detailed country snapshot; older records remain visible without invented comparisons.
Published evidence, observations or country data changed. The headline score did not materially change in this update.
First-ten source-led methodology v3.0 reset: person-level work evidence and all four transboundary trade lanes added. Transfer outcomes and nationally comparable person-level time need further verification before new weighted scoring. Earlier scores and rankings retained; no zero-harm deductions invented.

Brazil — 2024 export of plastic waste and scrap. 2024 Brazil exported 8,987,510 kg of plastic waste/scrap and separately recorded plastic-scrap imports valued at US$3.31m; exporter and importer responsibilities require independent examination. The customs heading identifies traded material; neither permitted recycling nor proven harmful dumping follows from the heading. Source-level trade measurement is verified, downstream disposition is not.
Brazil — 2024 export of worn clothing and other worn articles. 2024 customs code 630900 can identify worn clothing trade, but no usable-share inspection was verified in this pass. A worn garment can be useful or trash; this audit has no shipment sorting/usable-share or recipient-facility record proving either outcome.
