Mission
The Chamber of Deputies of Brazil is the House before most bills are laid, where the larger debates and decisions of national importance are centralized.
The legislative branch of government plays an indispensable role in society, since it has three main functions for the consolidation of democracy: represents the Brazilian people, legislates on national issues and oversees the use of public resources.
In this context, the Chamber of Deputies discusses and approves proposals for economic and social areas such as Education, Health, Transport, Housing, without neglecting the proper use, by the Powers of the Union, of the taxes collected from the population.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
