Legislative Assembly Recommends Evaluation of Independent Living Support Model in Madeira
The Legislative Assembly of Madeira approved a resolution recommending that the Regional Government evaluate the implementation of the Independent Living Support Model for people with disabilities.
Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of Madeira unanimously approved a resolution urging the Regional Government to evaluate the implementation of the Independent Living Support Model (MAVI) in the region.
The Resolution of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of Madeira No. 25/2026/M emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all people, regardless of their conditions, can exercise their fundamental rights and develop autonomous life projects. The MAVI represents a paradigm shift in public policies, transitioning from an institutional model to a person-centered model focused on personal assistance.
The resolution recommends that the evaluation of the model in the regional context be carried out in coordination with the Madeira Social Inclusion Center and social economy entities. The goal is to ensure the provision of individualized personal assistance, with territorial proximity and oriented towards the self-determination of beneficiaries.
This parliamentary recommendation aims to promote deinstitutionalization and the full inclusion of people with disabilities or incapacities in the Madeiran community.
