PS Braga launches initiative to create Strategic Agenda for the district

Braga TV9 September 2026 at 18:16

The Braga District Federation of the Socialist Party will start this month a consultation process with civil society in the 14 municipalities of the district, within the initiative called "Braga Viva – We are all part of it". The aim is to collect contributions and perspectives from citizens and local organizations for the development of a Strategic Agenda for the district.

The first action takes place in Celorico de Basto, where this consultation process begins, which will cover all municipalities in the Braga district. The federation intends to involve the community in defining priorities and guidelines for regional development.

The final document, the Strategic Agenda for the Braga district, should be completed by April 2027. This initiative comes in the context of an effort by PS Braga to create a medium and long-term vision for the region, integrating the needs and aspirations of civil society.
