Seven youth social entrepreneurship projects will receive €2,550 each, for a total of €7,850, under the Social Innovation and Transformation Programme. The costs will be spread across 2026 and 2027.
The Regional Government has authorised the Regional Directorate for Youth to incur costs of €2,550 for each of seven youth projects supported by the Social Innovation and Transformation Programme (PRINT). The total amount is €17,850, to fund programme contracts with the project promoters.
For each project, the orders provide for expenditure of €1,785 in 2026 and €765 in 2027. The amount allocated in each year may be increased by any balance carried over from the previous year. The 2027 costs will be covered by the same budget heading, through allocations to be included in the Budget of the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
PRINT was created to support social entrepreneurship projects that offer innovative and sustainable solutions, operate locally or regionally, strengthen youth participation and create social value. The seven orders were published on 30 September 2026 and come into force the day after publication.
In 2026, the Regional Government will honour distinguished figures with the Honorary Insignia of Prestige - “50 Years of Autonomy”. The award ceremony is scheduled for 1 October in Funchal; the resolution refers to an attached list for the names of the recipients.
Seven programme agreements from the Regional Directorate for Youth will support initiatives in health, cinema, the arts, music and education. The orders approve expenditure of €7,773.65, spread across 2026 and 2027.
The Madeira Institute of Social Security has been authorised to commit €650,530.03, plus VAT, to procure cleaning services in 2027 and 2028. The expenditure covers central and local offices, activity and inclusion training centres, and the Madeira Social Inclusion Centre.
