In the last three years, 5,491 social programs have operated in the country, but without coordination between them, and 37 are even duplicated. Of those implemented by the federal government, only 83 are focused on reducing social deprivation and are considered priorities to meet that objective. This “hinders the success of social policy,” concludes the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) in its 2016 evaluation report. This inefficiency has repercussions: in the last poverty measurement, in 2014, the number of people in this situation had increased by 2 million, while access to food and housing conditions had minimal improvements in the last two years. The “large number of programs” translates into million-dollar spending.
From 2015 to 2017, 63% of the programmable spending of the Federal Expenditure Budget (financing of public policies) is allocated to functional spending on social development, 27.6 to economic spending and 9.4 to government spending. Although as part of the programmatic restructuring implemented by the Ministry of Finance between Iceland Mobile Number List there was a 36% reduction in the number of social programs detected by CONEVAL, the budget only had a decrease of 12% in real terms, CONEVAL maintains in the 2016 Social Development Policy Evaluation Report published this Tuesday, April 18. Many programs, little effectiveness Social programs are classified between priority and non-priority. The former refer to those that contribute directly to reducing some of the deficiencies that measure poverty, while the latter lack that component. In 2015, the budget allocated to priority programs represented 39% of the total program budget, and for 2016 this percentage increased to 69%, similar to the budget planned for .
Although it seems correct that the federal government prioritizes social care, the problem is that the programs that receive resources fail to achieve their main objective: lifting the population out of poverty. CONEVAL has identified 5,491 social development programs and actions. Of them, 233 are federal, 2,528 state and 2,730 municipal, which operated between 2014 and 2015. Of the federal programs, 152 are part of the List of Federal Social Development Programs and Actions 2016. However, only 54% (83) were considered priority and the remaining 69 are non-priority since “they are not directly linked to the full exercise of "Social rights neither contribute to the reduction of social deprivation nor to economic well-being." In addition, 37 programs “have 100 percent similarity with one or more programs,” either due to their design, objectives, identification of the population served and the type of operation they carry out.
