Semas receives equipment to expand environmental monitoring in Pará

LED monitors, TV sets, as well as CPUs were delivered this Thursday (22nd), in Belém, to the State Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainability (Semas) through the Green Municipalities Program Project via the Program Executor Center Green Municipalities (NEPMV). The materials will strengthen the structure of the Integrated Center for Environmental Monitoring (CIMAM). The total value of the investment delivered at Semas headquarters corresponds to R$169,467.00 and is added to the other equipment already delivered to CIMAM for this Project.

This is one of the last deliveries of the Green Municipalities Program Project – PMV/FA, which is financed by the Amazon Fund/BNDES, after seven years of execution. The PMV/FA in Pará acted strongly with actions aimed at supporting the consolidation of the Rural Environmental Registry in 100 municipalities in Pará and in strengthening the decentralization of environmental management with training and delivery of equipment (computers and vehicles) enabling better performance by Municipal Secretariats environmental. 

“The program made it possible to strengthen the environmental management of the municipalities. The municipal secretariats did not have the structure to provide care and environmental licensing, for example, and began to be structured with vehicles, computer equipment, with a lot of training. Today we find municipal secretariats with an improvement in their installed technical capacity, with engineers, forestry technicians, lawyers exclusively dedicated to the environment secretariat because most municipalities understood that the environmental agenda had to be dedicated exclusively. Today the municipalities are very well structured”, evaluated Jaqueline de Carvalho Peçanha, general director of NEPMV. 

Another initiative carried out through the Green Municipalities Project, with resources from the Amazon Fund/BNDES, was to finance the development of the Environmental Licensing System (Sislam), launched in June this year. The tool, developed at the state level, promotes municipal leadership and, in practice, is a digital, free and customized platform for analyzing and granting licenses for activities and projects in municipalities.

”We managed to renew the project twice. This demonstrates the great trust that the BNDES has in the State Government, a sign of credibility”, added Jaqueline. 

“The equipment will speed up the development and monitoring of technicians who carry out their activities at Cimam. Today, we already have several partnerships that even make remote embargoes possible and with this strengthening action we will achieve greater results”, he concluded.
