Autism, the Campania Region bets on the third sector: 79 projects funded with 14,3 million euros

Naples – The Campania Region strengthens its commitment to people with autism spectrum disorder, approving a further scrolling of the ranking of the Call for Proposals Autism.

A decision that brings the total number of funded projects to 79, all presented by third sector entities, with the aim of ensuring targeted interventions and concrete support to those living in this condition.

The overall investment made amounts to 14,3 million euros, a significant figure that demonstrates the desire to strengthen services in the area.

The projects, which will soon begin, range from direct assistance initiatives to social inclusion, training and family support programs, thus responding to an increasingly urgent need in a region where the number of autism diagnoses is constantly growing.

Thanks to this new tranche of funding, Campania aims to fill historical gaps in the provision of specialized services, actively involving the third sector, which has always been at the forefront in supporting the most vulnerable segments of the population.

The further scrolling of the ranking, decided in the last hours, allows to expand the group of beneficiaries and to give a concrete answer to the requests of the associations and operators, who have long been asking for more resources to address the complexities related to autism.

“This is an important step forward,” regional sources explain, “to build a more solid and widespread support network, capable of improving the quality of life of people with autism spectrum disorder and their families.”

The 14,3 million euro investment is not only an economic signal, but also a clear message: the Region intends to make inclusion and care a priority, enhancing the strategic role of the third sector as an indispensable partner.

Now the challenge will be to transform these funds into concrete actions, with projects that, once started, could become a virtuous model for other Italian realities. A commitment that looks to the future, with the ambition of making Campania a point of reference in the management of autism.
