As Governor of Paran
As governor, Lerner used a policy of attracting investment to turn Paran into one of Brazils industrial hubs,
generating investments of over US$20 billion between
1995 and 2001. Following upon his experience in Curitiba, Lerner focused on issues like transport, education,
health, sanitation, leisure, and industrialization.
UNICEF awarded Lerner the Child and Peace Prize in
1996 for his programs "'Da Rua para a Escola'" (From
the Street to School), "'Protegendo a Vida'" (Protecting
Life), and "'Universidade do Professor'" (Professors University).
In 2011, Lerner was condemned to three years and a half
of prison for the illegal layo of a public tender during
his mandate as governor. He wasn't arrested due to his
age.[3]
