The National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra) has announced that it will recognize 2,117 quilombola families in Bahia, enabling them to access public policies associated with the National Agrarian Reform Program (PNRA). This decision, published in the Official Gazette of the Union, highlights the government's commitment to supporting historically marginalized communities within Brazil. It includes families from 13 quilombola territories across nine municipalities, a significant move towards social equity and recognition of these communities' rights.

With this recognition, the eligible families will have access to various programs, including the Installation Credit offered by Incra, alongside anticipated infrastructure projects tailored to benefit these communities. The recognition marks an essential step toward integrating these quilombola families into structured government support systems, fostering community development. This initiative reflects broader efforts within Brazil to address historical injustices faced by quilombola communities and to improve their livelihoods through targeted reforms.

Moreover, Incra has initiated a selection process through the Territorial Governance Platform (PGT), which is mandatory for these families to participate in the PNRA actions. The initial phase of selection will be conducted digitally, utilizing the federal government's databases to ensure comprehensive and accurate eligibility assessments. This process underscores the ongoing efforts to incorporate technology in governmental supports, increasing efficiency and transparency in the agrarian reform process, which is pivotal in ensuring that the benefits reach those who need them the most.
