Regional Government of the Azores

The Regional Government of the Azores is the governing body responsible for managing the autonomy of the Azores, an archipelago of nine islands in Portugal. It develops and implements policies on areas like health, education, environment, and transportation, tailored to the islands’ unique needs. Led by a regional president and councilors, it operates within the framework of Portugal’s constitution, ensuring local decision-making while remaining part of the national government. This structure allows the Azores to address its specific geographic and economic circumstances effectively while maintaining integration with Portugal.
