This reform is further complemented by specific investments, such as actions in the most deprived metropolitan areas of Lisbon and Porto. It provides a framework to allow for interventions targeting specific groups, from children to the elderly, including the most vulnerable groups. Copyright: Portuguese government For instance, it sets out the conditions for the development and implementation of policies focusing on social exclusion and poverty at the local level. It also creates a single monitoring framework for poverty related indicators. The strategy includes among its objectives the reduction of the poverty rate to 10% of the population by 2030, which implies a reduction by 660,000 adults and 170,000 children as well as reducing by 230,000 the number of working people in poverty. The reform was published by the end of 2021. More information can be found on the webpage of the government here, as well as on the webpage of the Office of Strategy and Planning here. Adoption of the National Strategy for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (reference RE-C03-r06 in the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan) The reform facilitates the inclusion of people with disabilities in all areas of life, promotes their autonomy, independence and self-determination and ensures equal opportunities. Specifically, it paves the way for investments to improve accessibility for people with reduced or restricted mobility to buildings, public spaces and public services (investments also covered by the Recovery and Resilience Facility), to build the digital infrastructure and enable its entry into operation to provide digital services for people with disabilities. It also allows the upscaling of the national networks of palliative care and of integrated continued care (also under the Recovery and Resilience Facility). The reform was adopted at the end of August 2021. More information can be found on the webpage of the National Institute of Rehabilitation here.
