Strategies
In March this year, the Acre Innovation and Development Business Forum and the State Government, through the State Secretariat of Planning (Seplan), signed a collaboration agreement to consolidate the Rondon South American Integration Route, focusing on the acre territory, in line with strategic government guidelines.
The project aims to integrate Acre with the scenario of regional and international development, facilitating commercial and structural connections, as well as promoting sustainable socioeconomic growth.
Seplan’s department of Interinstitutional Relations, Francimar Cavalcante, was at the event and stressed that listening to residents is essential for the development of the state.
“The Government of Acre has promoted actions to empower municipalities in the development process, and this meeting aims to hear the population and create action plans that really meet local needs.”
