Legislative bodies in Manaus and the state of Amazonas have introduced several measures aimed at social and economic development. The Manaus Municipal Chamber approved a bill reserving up to 5% of job vacancies in certain public contracts for graduates of municipal socio-educational programs to assist young people entering the workforce. Concurrently, the Amazonas Legislative Assembly established the State Network of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which will provide free coworking spaces in state-owned properties through public-private partnerships.

In the social sector, Governor Roberto Cidade inaugurated a 24-hour support facility for indigenous women at the Balbina Mestrinho Maternity Hospital in Manaus. The facility is designed to provide culturally respectful care, offering amenities like hammocks and cooking areas to accommodate women traveling from distant municipalities for maternal and child health services.
