The event has the participation of more than 30 ministries, authorities and federal government bodies, and aims at discussing public programs, policies and services, with mayors, secretaries, advisors, public managers, the academic community and social movements in Pará.
Of the 144 municipalities in Pará, 141 are represented in this edition of the Caravan.
