AMAVI

What AMAVI does

AMAVI (Associação dos Municípios do Alto Vale do Itajaí) is a non-profit civil association founded in 1964 in Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil, recognized as the first municipal association officially constituted in Brazil. It is owned collectively by its 28 member municipalities, which fund the association through annual fees. Its core function is intermunicipal cooperation: it convenes member mayors in assemblies, delivers technical training, coordinates shared services, and advocates collectively before state and federal agencies. Leadership rotates annually among elected municipal mayors, with a permanent executive secretariat handling day-to-day operations under Executive Secretary Paulo Roberto Tschumi.

AMAVI operates a broad suite of regional information systems and programs that effectively function as a shared municipal technology platform. The portfolio includes health (CIS-AMAVI consortium and management system), education (EducAMAVI), sports (JIMAVI), tourism (SiTur, GuiAMAVI, Caminhos do Alto Vale, Caminhos do Campo), culture (SiCult), environment (CAR, SIPLAMAVI), procurement (CISCompras, Olimpo), rural invoicing (NFPP), mobility (MOVEC SC), internal controls, project management, and email services. Revenue is generated primarily through municipal association fees and consortium-managed services (particularly the CISAMAVI health consortium). The association's customers are exclusively its 28 member municipal governments, served through a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market model with no commercial pricing structure.
