FIRST LADY OUTLINES ARGENTINA'S SOCIAL PLAN TO OAS
April 11, 2002
Argentina's First Lady Hilda Beatriz González de Duhalde, who is also Coordinator of the Social Policy Cabinet in the Office of the President, outlined her country's social plan before the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States, during a special session in Washington Thursday. The plans revolve around tackling the current crisis through poverty-fighting programs, "as eradicating poverty will take years."
She said the devastation triggered by recession rooted in the 1970s "will inevitably worsen the situation with every passing day," adding that 5.3 million of Argentina's 14.5 million poor live below the poverty line. Last year, she explained, 55.9 per cent of Argentineans under 18 lived below the poverty line, up from 49.3 the previous year.
She said the government last year established a National Policy Coordination Council to combat poverty, adding that "ministries can no longer work as separate entities because social problems must be tackled from all angles."
The Argentinean First Lady explained that her visit to the OAS was to explain that the social policies adopted are sustainable, and that they are related to the economic adjustment plan. The visit was also intended to "explain Argentina's open opportunities for high-impact social investment."
The Permanent Council Chair, El Salvador's Ambassador to the OAS Margarita Escobar, lauded the First Lady's efforts over the last two decades as founder and president of various organizations, centers and institutions devoted to improving the quality of life for the neediest in society.
Several member state ambassadors expressed full support for the Argentinean government's measures to restore hope to its citizens, and OAS Secretary General César Gaviria noted that President Duhalde had assumed the leadership at a most difficult juncture marked by political instability. "This social package is therefore vital to governance, to maintaining political and economic stability in Argentina," declared Gaviria.
