Portuguese term or phrase: personalizadas
Hi all

This appears in a funding document for Guinea-Bissau. It is describing the central health level, made up of various official bodies and "Instituições de formação que gozam do mesmo estatuto como Instituições **personalizadas**/ parapúblicas com missão, competência e relações tratadas nos próprios estatutos."

What does 'personalizadas' mean here? Literal personalized sounds odd - could it be individualized or specialized? Any other ideas?

All help appreciated!

Incorporated business/corporation
Explanation:
"Recebe a alcunha de sociedade personalizada aquela que conta com personalidade jurídica conquistada através de registro junto ao órgão competente. "

Thus, "sociedade personalizada" is a legally constituted business, i.e. has undergone incorporation.

"Incorporation is the legal process used to form a corporate entity or company. A corporation is the resulting legal entity that separates the firm's assets and income from its owners and investors.".

(And, in this particular case, the source text explains that the institutions in question have the same legal status as incorporated businesses.)

with a legal personality


Explanation:
An instituição personalizada (or Instituição Personalizada do Estado) is a public law (State) body that has a legal personality, i.e. it is juridical person, which has the same power and capacity as a natural person, e.g. the power to make contracts, to sue and be sued, to own property, etc..
