What is Social Prosperity?
social prosperity is the body of the National Government that seeks to establish policies, general plans, programs and projects for assistance, care and reparation for victims of violence, social inclusion, care for vulnerable groups and their social and economic reintegration in Colombia.
social prosperity works comprehensively in the formulation and execution of social policies, in addition to coordinating the Unit of Attention and Comprehensive Reparation for Victims, the Colombian Institute of Family Well-being and the Center for Historical Memory.
The law of 1448 of 2011, represented for the country an advance in terms of recognition and dignity of the victims through the materialization of their constitutional rights, for which the National Government in a framework of transitional justice establishes a set of judicial measures , administrative, social and economic, individual and collective, for the benefit of the victims of violence.
To achieve this objective and in order to avoid duplication of functions and guarantee continuity in the service, without affecting care for victims at any time, it was decided to transform the Presidential Agency for Social Action and International Cooperation – Social Action – In an Administrative Department in charge of establishing policies, general plans, programs and projects for assistance, care and reparation for victims of violence, social inclusion, care for vulnerable groups and social and economic reintegration.
In this sense, the transformation of -Social Action- is carried out, giving way to the creation of the Administrative Department for Social Prosperity, whose main challenge is to advance in overcoming poverty, the inclusion of the vulnerable population and victims of poverty. violence, and the consolidation of the territories through the guarantee of the presence of the State in a path of prosperity and reconciliation.
