Paraná state public policy and infrastructure initiatives

Overview

The state of Paraná has initiated several large-scale public policy programs focused on social welfare, public safety, and health.

Through the ‘Paraná Cuidado e Protegido’ project, the state secured US$ 125 million—comprising US$ 100 million from the Inter-American Development Bank and US$ 25 million in state funds—to combat violence against vulnerable groups, including women, the elderly, and the LGBTQIA+ community. This investment also targets urban infrastructure improvements and reintegration programs for incarcerated individuals.

In the health sector, the state is expanding neonatal screening from 7 to 51 exams and implementing DNA-HPV testing for cervical cancer screening across 256 municipalities, aiming to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health issue by 2030. Additionally, discussions regarding energy infrastructure involve planned investments exceeding R$ 1 billion for biomethane production and gas distribution.
