The Participatory Budget of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (OPRAM) was created with the aim of involving citizens in decision-making processes, promoting active and informed participation, and corresponds to a commitment made by the Regional Government of Madeira for 2021.

In this way, OPRAM constitutes an effective means of participatory democracy, relying on the involvement of citizens, young people and adults, in the decision-making process of public policies at the regional level.

In this second edition, OPRAM has been allocated an overall budget of 5,000,000.00 euros (five million euros), and the proposals accepted will cover the areas of the environment, mobility and sustainable development, citizenship, culture, social inclusion, civil protection, health, youth, sport, education, agriculture and rural development, and tourism.

The preliminary proposals may be municipal in scope, or supra-municipal, if the preliminary proposal to be submitted has an impact on more than one municipality in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.

€ 250,000.00 (two hundred and fifty thousand euros) are reserved for each municipality, except for Porto Santo, which will be allocated € 350,000.00 (three hundred and fifty thousand euros). € 2,150,000.00 (two million one hundred and fifty thousand euros) are set aside for preliminary proposals of supra-municipal scope.

All citizens, national or foreign, residing in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, aged 18 (eighteen) years or over, can submit preliminary proposals, online through the platform https://opram.madeira.gov.pt, the application of the OPRAM for mobile devices or at one of the participatory meetings that will take place in the 11 municipalities of the Region.
