Prefeitura de Salvador

What Prefeitura de Salvador does

Prefeitura de Salvador is the municipal government of Salvador, capital of the state of Bahia, Brazil, serving approximately 2.9 million residents. It operates as a public administrative body headed by an elected Mayor (currently Bruno Reis) and is structured into multiple secretariats, autarquias, foundations, and wholly-owned state enterprises (DESAL, LIMPURB, TRANSALVADOR, COGEL, SALTUR, ARSAL, CODESAL, SUCOP, GCM, FCM, FGM, FMLF, CODECON, and SPMJ). The entity provides the full spectrum of urban services including healthcare (a municipal network with 162 vaccination rooms and 10 Prefeitura-Bairro units), education, urban cleaning, public safety, mobility (BRT Salvador, Transalvador), social assistance, culture, and environmental programs.

Its core technology and product portfolio centers on the Salvador Digital portal (gov.br-authenticated web/mobile service aggregation), the Salvador Segura AI-powered video surveillance system (integrating approximately 10,000 public and private cameras with facial recognition and license plate reading, cross-referenced with SSP-BA and Federal Police databases), the Projeto RODA door-to-door selective recycling service (operated in partnership with startup Solos using a zero-emission electric vehicle), the Viver Salvador nos Bairros mobile service program, and innovation initiatives (Salvador LAB, Salvador Tech, CredSalvador, SIMM employment intermediation).

As a municipal government, Prefeitura de Salvador does not charge citizens for core public services; it is funded through the municipal budget composed of tax revenue, transfers, and concession contracts (one waste-management concession is valued at R$2.678 billion). Its go-to-market is non-commercial service delivery through 10 decentralized Prefeitura-Bairro physical units, the Disque 156/Ouvidoria hotline, the Salvador Digital self-serve portal, mobile outreach events, and 162 vaccination rooms. It has executed strategic partnerships with FIEB (regional sustainability), Osid (religious tourism), Parque Social (entrepreneurship training), Solos (recycling), SSP-BA and Federal Police (security data), and ABAM/APAE (used cooking oil program). It operates under the Plano Municipal de Segurança, the LGPD compliance framework (Decreto Municipal 35.299/2022), and participates in international forums including COP30.
