The Government of Acre, through took a strategic step to modernize territorial management and guarantee legal security to the state’s 22 municipalities. This Wednesday (25), a Technical Cooperation Agreement was signed with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) to consolidate the political-administrative division of the Acre territory.
The agreement, signed between secretary Ricardo Brandão and the substitute superintendent of IBGE in Acre, Raphael Lopes Dias, will last an unprecedented 10 years. The main objective is to remedy inaccuracies in old legislation that still generate doubts about the exact limits between cities, using the most modern geoscience methodologies and official cartographic representation.

Direct impact on municipal coffers
The precise definition of currencies is not just a question of maps, but of economics. According to Marky Brito, director of Regional Development at Seplan, the agreement directly impacts the calculation of constitutional transfers, such as the Municipal Participation Fund (FPM). “The precise definition of limits is essential to ensure that public resources are correctly allocated to the responsible municipality”, explained the director, highlighting that the measure avoids conflicts of jurisdiction.
Benefits for the Population
For citizens, the agreement resolves practical everyday problems, such as defining which city hall is responsible for maintaining a rural road, setting up a school or providing health care in communities located in border areas. Furthermore, updating the digital municipal network improves the quality of statistical and census research, essential for planning state and federal public policies.

Fieldwork and Transparency
The work plan will be carried out in cycles that include field surveys, cartographic analyzes and the preparation of law proposals to redefine currency in a technical and updated way. All maps and descriptive memorials resulting from this partnership will be made available on the Seplan website, ensuring full data transparency.
