Overcoming Poverty and helping in the construction of the social protection

system

Social Protection is an important dimension of the country’s social life, as it promotes cohesion and reduces social gaps by increasing opportunities for job placement and development of the most vulnerable groups.

In that regard, it doesn’t represent an expenditure for the country, but rather a long term investment, preventing risks that affect social cohesion and human development.

① The achievement of equity is still the strategic goal of social policy. It is the framework that guides the purpose and contents of its public policy instruments.

② Equity is achieved through equal opportunities

Supporting groups, peoples and territories that are in a vulnerable condition is a concrete way of equaling opportunities.

Reverting a vulnerable condition means generating institutional actions capable of providing social protection to people.

The social protection management model, i.e. the way in which it can operate with efficacy, is the functioning of the network.

People living in extreme poverty are the ones that require social protection, given that they are the most vulnerable people due to this condition.
