Core offering

CNM is a national confederation representing Brazilian municipalities, providing institutional advocacy before the federal government and Congress, technical assistance across 12 specialized municipal administration areas (including public finance, social assistance, environment, civil protection, urban land regularization, public accounting, and intergovernmental transfers), and coordinated municipalist mobilization. The organization supports municipal governments through exclusive publications, legal guidance, and digital platforms that aggregate content, networking, transparency, and member services.

Product overview

The Confederacao Nacional de Municipios operates a platform-based digital ecosystem consisting of its primary institutional website (Portal CNM) complemented by multiple specialized sub-portals addressing distinct municipal needs: transparency (Transparencia CNM), content distribution (Portfolio CNM/Exclusivo), social security (CNPrev), climate initiatives (Conclima), event management (Eventos CNM), library services (Biblioteca CNM), video programming (TV Portal CNM), and communication channels (Canal Zap CNM). The confederation also maintains partnerships with external platforms including ecompras.org.br for e-procurement services and employs accessibility tools like VLibras for Libras sign language interpretation.
