Institutional
The ProFuturo Involuntary Resettlement Project is an initiative resulting from a partnership between IFRN, FUNCERN and Fomento do Brasil, designed to mitigate the impacts of the installation of a mining operation in the municipalities of Lagoa de Velhos and Serra Caiada - RN.
With a commitment to autonomy, sustainability and social well-being, ProFuturo represents a structured and responsible solution to ensure that impacted communities can rebuild their lives in suitable conditions and with new opportunities for growth.
Project objective
ProFuturo aims to develop sustainable development technologies and solutions for the resettlement of 240 families from the Potengi Agrarian Reform Settlement Project in the state of Rio Grande do Norte.
