Meeting reinforces transparency and dialogue on the social and economic impacts of Porto Central

Last Wednesday (30), the Permanent Monitoring Commission of the Socioeconomic Monitoring Program of Porto Central (CAMPOC) held its semiannual general assembly. The online meeting was attended by representatives from around 40 public and private institutions from the direct and indirect areas of influence of the port. 

During the session, updated data from the Socioeconomic Monitoring Program (PMSE) were presented, covering key indicators related to local and non-local labor, land use and occupation, education, health, and regional development — all essential areas for monitoring the impacts of the port’s implementation.

Active participation and collaborative construction

The meeting also featured an open space for questions, suggestions, and contributions from participants. Institutional representatives presented proposals for new lines of action, which will be reviewed by CAMPOC's Management Groups (GTs). This exchange reinforced the commission’s consultative and participatory role, contributing to the development of preventive, mitigating, and compensatory measures while promoting ongoing dialogue between Porto Central and society.

Next steps

As a follow-up, an extraordinary assembly is scheduled to take place in September. The goal is to continue the technical discussions initiated during the general assembly and strengthen the active listening process with the involved institutions.
