Los esfuerzos de la Campaña del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas establecen para 2015 objetivos ambiciosos como la reducción drástica de las personas que sufren hambre, la de las personas cuyos ingresos son inferiores a un dólar diario y el empleo productivo y trabajo digno para todos, incluyendo mujeres y jóvenes. He allí los propósitos de la Cumbre del Milenio, objetivos en los que se ha avanzado, no sin variantes en diversas partes del planeta.
Mucho se ha discutido sobre el concepto mismo de pobreza, uno especialmente centrado en lo económico, pero con implicaciones políticas y sociológicas. Being poor is having the lack of access to the satisfaction of basic physical and psychological needs. This includes food, housing, education, health and drinking water, one of the problems of this millennium. Specifications are added as social segregation and exclusion. The Millennium Development Goals have drawn up plans and coordination, resource management, realistic programs, maximizing the effectiveness of public spending.
is clear that the fight against poverty requires a comprehensive approach as we can not limit it to the lack of income but to place it on the lack of opportunity, security and participation in decisions. It also has implications of international trade and debt relief. In particular we believe that we must accelerate Venezuela that fight from two angles priorities: focus on women and microfinance programs and local development, what we set out in a General Law of Social Development. We must create a Technical Committee on Poverty Measurement to go checking the progress and setbacks and a political body that manages the program with the utmost priority of the State. You can hear international organizations or take advantage of resources they put at the service of the Millennium Plan, but Venezuela must specify programs, ones that should be far from any tampering policy.
I am an enemy to create ministry and I think it will be removed a few, but in the specific case I am inclined to the creation of the Ministry for the Fight against Poverty, not only to put the emphasis on a priority program of the State but for have the political strength of coordinating agencies, They have to appeal to all the plants, but also to regional and local. We must involve all levels of power, because I think what we bring forward is a focus. That is, by neighborhood or town census of skills that can be productive organization and immediate recurrence microcredit. I think this program should focus on women. I'm talking about all kinds of projects, from an imagination fueled by the officials conducting investigations and a system of loans such as those implemented in more than successful by the Bank of the Poor in Bangladesh and earned a Nobel Prize holder Economy. I speak in urban areas and recognize the differences between the programs to be implemented in rural areas, but there are enough experiences to develop plans. The state provides infrastructure, from roads to health services, but must be people with all necessary assistance, which goes to the cooperative training and employment for the promotion of natural resources and to the establishment home-schools for children in these deprived areas.
propose to draw a National Solidarity Program to involve not only private companies but to the whole population, to take advantage of employment and training opportunities and implement a voluntary community work method understandable for people to show solidarity. It is not assistance, it is also structural support and conditions: To be beneficiary assistance is conditioning children to school. It is my general rule: anyone who wants claims must pay with their personal.
Much is said about small and medium company, but no one refers to the small business that I think one of the key weapons to tackle the issue. The priority in this field should be women. When I talk to women is obvious that I am thinking in children. We must go to the socioeconomic analysis region by region, area by area, neighborhood by neighborhood, and one thing very important: the identification of patterns and the consequential lifestyle prevailing in each site, the determination of programs on these sites with absolute poverty or relative poverty, the specification on poverty and poverty education services and social security poverty. Vaccination, pollution, urban sanitation, nutrition, evaluation background of diseases, evaluation of crime. Combating poverty is complex and requires as I said, of a specific organism. Among us, who has spent more time and effort to the study was Luis Pedro Spain and his research team. Their contributions should be taken into account.
The starting point of human development and that includes political freedom, economic and social development that leads to self-respect and consequential conversion agents of their own destiny, the community to which they belong and the nation all. In some cities in Colombia might have sounded odd placement library in the poorest areas, with their computers and access to today's world, but it worked. Human development is learning. This is about promoting upward social mobility and the introduction of education and culture is a driving force of development. Moreover, they should be considered both as human rights. Incentives in the community as a starting point, as a generator of action should therefore be empowered. Community self-organization means to its own development. Enough of waiting around, it must motivate them to use everything he has, from his grade school until their skills from their organizational capacity to the safety of their actions will cause an inclusive city.
A politician has general ideas. Experts interpret and lead to specific plans. These are ways to fight poverty. I propose.
