Living Better - the social policy strategy of the Federal Government

Living Better is a strategy that encompasses all federal governmental programs with the aim of directing them towards the same objective- Sustainable Human Development- in order to enhance the efficiency of public resources and avoid dispersion.

Living Better is legally based upon the 2009-2012 National Program for Social Development, which, along with the 2007-2012 Sectorial Plan for Social Development, constitutes the normative instrument by which the social development objectives stated in the National Development Plan can be monitored and fulfilled. These programs are drawn from the provisions stated in the General Law for Social Development and the Law on Planning.
