I. Introduction

Previously in Peru, many cases of poverty could be observed, and especially

Child malnutrition was beginning to prevail, thus affecting various areas in which many
Poor people could not afford, both in education as well as in health and nutrition.

In response to this issue, the government of Peru started to show greater commitment towards
to childhood malnutrition, thus taking various measures against it. Therefore, the authorities

measurable in relation to malnutrition, in order to strengthen operational capacities and
institutional.

In 2007, the government launched the national strategy CRECER, which is a

system that is responsible for ensuring compliance with the policies that guide the
state intervention, in order to reduce poverty, chronic child malnutrition, the
inequalities, vulnerabilities, and social risks.

The strategy was led by the presidency of the Council of Ministers through the
Technical Secretariat of the Interministerial Commission on Social Affairs (CIAS). This strategy is
created with inter-institutional coordination among the main social programs that promote
the reduction of child malnutrition in the country. However, the core of this strategy was the
JUNTOS program, for which this report will provide more information about it.

We will mainly mention that the JUNTOS program was created in order to alleviate
the poverty of the Peruvian population in the different districts of Peru. The Program aims to
the objective is to improve the current outcome indicators in the areas of nutrition, education, and health
to improve future generations in order to break the so-called "cycle of poverty."

CHAPTER I

VI. Content

1. Background
Juntos was born on September 17, 2005. The chosen place for its launch was the
Ayacucho district of Chuschi, an emblematic area of the Peruvian highlands where Sendero
Luminoso began its terrorist activities.

In recent years, the Government of Peru has demonstrated a high level of commitment.
regarding child malnutrition and has taken measures to address it. The authorities
national, regional, and local authorities recognize the importance of rationalizing resources and actions
on malnutrition in order to produce measurable results and strengthen capacities
operational and institutional at all levels. Currently, in order to reflect this commitment,
The country emphasizes achieving results and accountability through two new policies. The
National Strategy GROW and the Results-Based Budget.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance is promoting the Results-Based Budget.

(PpR) as a budgeting planning and programming tool aimed at increasing the
efficiency and the improvement of the quality of public spending. The ultimate goal of the PpR is that the

publicly funded interventions are designed, executed, and evaluated based on the
changes that promote favoring the most vulnerable population evidenced in indicators
monitorable. Initially, the PpR focused on five strategic programs: Program
Nutritional articulation, maternal and neonatal health, learning achievements at the end of the III cycle,
Access of the population to identity and Access to basic social services and opportunities
market. Rural Electrification programs and Telecommunications have also been included.
Rural, Rural Sanitation and Environment.

2. Definition
(Stampini, 2018) Officially, Juntos is defined as a transfer program.
conditional monetary subsidies, through which families that qualify under the criteria are subsidized
established (poverty, exclusion, etc.).

4
 5

In that sense, Juntos can be considered a social program of 'third'

generation" since it provides assistance to poor families as an incentive to comply with a
a series of clearly defined commitments within a framework of family-State co-responsibility.
In this, Juntos differs from the so-called 'first generation' social programs (delivery
of unconditional subsidies) and of 'second generation' (limited to the integration of the family in
economic and food security circuits.

Thus, the monetary subsidy of Juntos is neither free nor unconditional, but rather
subject to the fulfillment of a series of verifiable commitments to participate in a series
of social programs in health, nutrition, education, and citizen development, aimed at
strengthen human development, as well as the restoration and consolidation of basic rights.

This program ofMinistry of Development and Social Inclusion (MIDIS) promotes the
co-responsibility, for which their monetary incentives to households in districts that present
poverty rates of 40% or more, but they are conditioned on the commitment to send their daughters and
children to health centers, send them to school, and in the case of pregnant women, attend their check-ups
prenatals.

With this, they seek to contribute to the reduction of poverty and prevent children,
adolescents up to 19 years old and pregnant women continue to live in the poverty that affected their parents and

generate human capital within households

3. Principles
Together has been established as an innovative program, based on a series of concepts.
and principles that define the relationship between the beneficiary and the State that seek to overcome the vision

traditionally associated with social programs: state welfare and paternalism,

which is complemented by the passivity and conformity of the beneficiary.

Thus, unlike the traditional vision, Together seeks to give its activities a focus
participatory, aimed not only at alleviating or mitigating poverty, but also at enabling the
beneficiaries access a higher level of income and well-being in the medium or long term than
self-sustaining sea.

5
 6

The axes and criteria on which Juntos develops are as follows:

Its target action is families in extreme poverty and in conditions of

social exclusion.
The beneficiary unit is not an isolated individual, but the household.
3. The beneficiary households must necessarily have children among their members.
minors under 14 years old or mothers who are pregnant.
4. The mother of the family is the one who represents the household before the State and in that capacity is the one who

has the right to collect the monetary incentive.

5. The delivery of the incentive is mandatorily conditioned on compliance by the
home, of a series of specific commitments in health, education, nutrition, and identity
in favor of their children.

6. Together has a non-excluding nature, but rather a complementary and functional character.
regarding the other programs that address specific social issues (education,
nutrition, health, etc.), as it coordinates the participation of the beneficiaries in the
components of said programs.
7. The Program has a sense of temporality, as permanence as a home
a beneficiary with full rights is for a maximum of four years, and as a beneficiary
with progressively reduced rights for a maximum of four more years.

4. Creation of the program together

Officially, Juntos has its origins in April 2005, through the
promulgation of Supreme Decree 032-2005, from the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM);
during the government of Alejandro Toledo Manrique. However, its true genesis can
to go back several years, when agreements and manifestos were made both inside and outside the country
the field of social development and the fight against poverty that influenced directly or indirectly
in the later creation of Juntos.

One key factor that influenced the creation of the Program was undoubtedly the Declaration of
Millennium of the United Nations, which took place in September 2000, which established a series
of objectives and goals for development and human well-being, some very specific to be achieved
internationally in 2015.

6
 7

A second factor that is clearly related to the creation of Juntos is undoubtedly the
set of manifestos and proposals of the National Agreement, entity established by the Presidency
from the Republic, in March 2002, as a meeting point for the main forces
political and social (parties, associations and grassroots organizations, unions, guilds, etc.), to
discuss and reach a consensus on objectives and proposals regarding the actions of the State. Thus, the National Agreement

has issued a series of guiding principles for public policies, which can be related
Together.

Finally, the role that the so-called 'Plan' has played in the conception of Together must be considered.
National Poverty Alleviation Program, which proposes among its central guidelines:

The full development of human capabilities and respect for rights

fundamentals.
2. The promotion of economic opportunities and capabilities for the most
in need of the population.
3. The establishment and strengthening of social protection networks.

Are these elements (National Agreement, Millennium Goals and National Plan for Overcoming the
Poverty) those who make up the framework within which Together has been established and developed.

5. The social, economic, and political reality following the creation of together

A logical presumption regarding conditional cash transfer programs would be that

such programs are created during periods of economic crisis (recession, hyperinflation, etc.)
where important sectors of the population often suddenly begin to suffer from a
a series of hardships (unemployment, loss of savings, devaluation of assets, etc.) that prevent them from
adequately meet their needs, including the most basic ones.

But Juntos was not established in a context of crisis; on the contrary, it arose in a
sustained economic growth period, practically unprecedented in our history
recent.

However, it is necessary to point out that the apparent paradox between the relative economic boom
what Peru has experienced in recent years and the implementation of the Juntos plan would not be such from

7
 8

from a more detailed and thorough examination of the national reality, from which observations arise
what are fundamental to explain the emergence of Together:

Firstly, it should be noted that, although Peru has experienced growth

considerable economic growth in recent years, this has not meant the substantial decrease of
poverty and exclusion among broad sectors of Peruvian society, which is not surprising
surprising considering the depth and extent of the social problems that plague the country
as a result of years, if not decades, of almost continuous economic deterioration.

6. Areas of operation of the program

The operation of 'Juntos' is based on five areas or systems:

6.1 Operational: essentially responsible for the administrative management of the Program, of the

inter-institutional coordinations required for development and execution, and in general

of the necessary actions for the delivery of resources.

6.2 Geographic targeting: geographic areas (districts) are selected for operation
of the Program, based on the analysis of various indicators; for example; the degree of access
from the population to basic services.

6.3 Individual targeting: in charge of the classification and selection of households

specific beneficiaries. It can be anticipated that this area will increase in importance in
the medium term, as Juntos expands its activities; particularly for when
the Program reaches densely populated urban areas, where the population is

6.4 Evaluation and monitoring: it is the system specifically in charge of control and
monitoring the compliance of the commitments established with the beneficiaries;
likewise, it is in charge of evaluating the impact that the Program has on well-being
of the participating households. It should be noted in this regard that up to the present

In 2006, the main actions planned and budgeted include the
establishment of a baseline system, based on the control of the evolution of
households, combined with management and results indicators.

6.5 Social surveillance: responsible for the mechanisms of citizen participation and control that
ensure the transparency and legitimacy of the Program activities.

7. Geographic scope
During its first phase of development (year 2005), the activities of Juntos were carried out
in a total of 110 districts located in four departments of the Andean region of the country:
Apurímac, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, and Huánuco. These selected districts were the most
poor people located in those departments made up 31% of the total districts
located in those departments.

The departments selected for the first phase of Together are among the most
poor and backward of the country, with all the imaginable consequences: high rates of malnutrition,
unmet basic needs, school dropout, etc.

8. Progress and goals

The activities of the Together program aimed at the population began in early September.
from 2005, in the district of Chuschi, Ayacucho, and they reached by the end of that first month of
operations for the 805 beneficiary families. In February 2006, the Program was serving
around 35,000 households in 110 districts; by June 2006, the number of beneficiaries

10. The commitments made

The counterpart to the action of the State is the compliance by the family with a series of
commitments regarding the welfare of its child and adolescent members, as well as mothers
pregnant women. Among the main commitments made are the following:

10.1 Education: Requirement of 85% average attendance at school for children between 6
and 14 years of the beneficiary families, during the days when activities are carried out

10.2 Nutrition: Growth and development control for all children up to five years old
age. Participation in the Food Complementation Program for Groups of

10.3 Health: Complete vaccination, deworming, and distribution of vitamin supplements for
children up to five years old. Prenatal and postnatal controls for pregnant mothers,
attendance at educational talks and receipt of vitamin supplements and vaccines.

11. Objectives and outcome indicators

Together should be understood as a program that proposes a mixture of short-term objectives,
medium and long term, which must be fulfilled as a result of the collaboration between the State
and society (beneficiaries).

11.1 The program output

One of the central concepts that underpins the actions of Juntos is related to
the "graduation", defined as the moment when the beneficiary family leaves the
Program, which may be fundamentally due to three reasons:

The family no longer has eligible members (teenage children or pregnant mothers).
The family has overcome their situation of poverty.
The family has completed the maximum stay time.

11.2 Coverage
The program gradually covers households, based on two criteria:

1. Geographic Focus: it is determined whether to intervene in a district.

2. Household Targeting: households in the selected district are chosen based on level of
poverty according to the Household Targeting System (SISFOH).

11.3 Conditions
To join Juntos, you must meet the following requirements:

Living in an intervention district of the program for about 6 months.

Having among its members at least one pregnant mother, girl, boy, adolescent, or young person
of maximum 19 years.
To be considered as poor or extremely poor according to theFocalization System of

Households.

14. Irregularities at the national level

May 2015

Víctor Raúl Díaz Ruiz and Enma Quiroz Medina, former cashiers of the Bank of the Nation, were
investigated by the Superior Prosecutor's Office of Cajamarca for having impersonated the identity of

beneficiaries of Juntos, to collect the 200 soles that the State provided them every two
months. According to 'Cuarto Poder', these bad officials would have stolen
$1,080,000 from the mentioned social program.

The Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (Midis) reported that the money
withdrawn from the accounts of some beneficiaries of Juntos and Pension 65 has already been replenished,

so these people can now collect what is due to them.

They would not only have withdrawn money from the accounts of the living beneficiaries, but also
of the deceased.

An impact evaluation published in 2017 by the MEF indicates that Juntos succeeded in reducing
the severity of extreme poverty by 18.9% and reduce the severity of poverty by 8.6%.
In addition, it asserts that thanks to Juntos, school attendance among students increased by 8.2%.
secondary education and school dropout was reduced by 8.8%.

V. Proposals

To improve the JUNTOS program, some proposals have been mentioned:

With the help of the INEI, improve the selection of households in extreme poverty so that it can lead to that.

more needy people can receive this help.

2. A thorough investigation must be conducted on the beneficiary of the program, so that
in such a way that it will prevent the affiliation of people who actually do not need this help
due to having financial support.
3. That the follow-up of the beneficiary households should not be limited, but should show the
details of the intervention change of the program.
4. Conduct training to maintain the link that exists between the delivery of money.
in cash and to the commitment that beneficiaries access upon joining the social program.
5. The participation of men in this program should be involved either through
trainings for the fulfillment of the promise that the beneficiary accepts to receive
this assistance program.

VI. Conclusions and recommendations

Peru is making progress in the social field, but not at a fast enough pace to catch up with the
Millennium development goals in education, health, and poverty. The levels of inequality and
social and economic exclusion is high, while public social spending is estimated to be around
5% of GDP is among the lowest in Latin America.

One of the essential responses to this situation is greater social action from the State, such as
part of a redistributive policy, which must be complemented by the creation of jobs
work through strong intensive growth in employment and in self-employment sectors. The
the launch of Together is a recognition of this reality.

As is known, this type of program works by promoting the demand of families for
services that generate human capital; that is, supporting mothers and fathers to take to
your children to the education and health services provided by the State; but for that, monitoring and
the requirement of the conditions and commitments assumed by the beneficiaries is fundamental. The
The success of programs like Juntos decisively depends on their ability to oversee, evaluate,
and if necessary, facilitate the proper fulfillment of the obligations of the users.

While in theory monetary transfers must be delivered as long as they are fulfilled
the commitments (the children have gone to school and health checks, the mothers have attended talks
training in nutrition and child care, etc.), there is still doubt as to whether such
conditions will be enforceable, or even effectively verifiable. For the case of Juntos, the
necessary systems for comprehensive monitoring have not yet been properly established for
all the required areas, especially regarding education.

In this context, a central issue is to establish how the protection network should be structured.

existing including Together based on the established priorities; however, to date

such a global idea of restructuring and developing the social protection network has been absent from
design, planning and start of operations of Juntos.
