The Zero Hunger and Brazil without Extreme Poverty programs: a step forward in Brazilian social protection policy

Résumé 0

"Brazilian social protection programs have had consistent effects in reducing poverty and inequality among their respective target- groups: children, adolescents and pregnant and breastfeeding women. In 2011, the Brazil wi - thout Extreme Poverty program was launched as a strategy to eradicate extreme poverty by 2014. It makes the promotion of rights the core concept of the official political narrative. This study seeks to provide a systematic description of the Brazil without Extreme Poverty program and its initial results. A review of official documents and acade - mic studies on the social protection programs was conducted. The Brazil without Extreme Poverty program represents an incremental approach to the social protection policies enacted by the pre - vious administration. It advocates a multidimen - sional and focused approach, funded primarily by the federal government. The strategy subscribes to the international trend of associating social pro - tection with employment and income generation policies."
