Brasília – Services and information about federal actions and programs that were previously spread out in several sites are now joined together in the new Portal Brasil which may be visited starting today (3) at address www.brasil.gov.br. Information about how to get an identity card, vaccination campaign calendars and guidance regarding retirement are examples of the content available.
At the address it was already possible to find information about the Federal government, but reformulation should bring together around 500 services.
Initially the portal will have 12 areas with specific content: citizenship, health, education, science and technology, Brazil, culture, economics, sports, geography, history, environment and tourism. The content offered should be turned to workers, students, entrepreneurs and press and it is also forecasted to include senior citizens, children, civil servants and women.
There should also be a specific area for foreigners, in English and Spanish, focusing on students, investors and tourists.
The portal has resources to allow access by the visually and hearing impaired. It should also be possible, for example, to expand the font or change the contrast on the screen.
