Observatório de Autarquias Familiarmente Responsáveis

The project is an APFN initiative based on the principle that the family is a landmark of irreplaceable social coexistence and cohesion for the life and well-being of the population. In this context, the project aims to identify and promote measures whose adoption at local plans encourages the exercise of family responsibilities with greater and better guarantees, favouring the existence of more stable, healthy and functional families. The concrete measures to be adopted suggested in the Reference Framework for a Family Policy for Family Responsible Municipalities are within the scope of: Support to Motherhood and Fatherhood, Support to Families with special needs; Basic Services; Education and training; Housing and Urbanism; Transport; Health; Culture, Sports, Leisure and Free Time; Cooperation, institutional relations and social participation.
