The Project consists in supporting the Ministry of Social Development and the Fight against Hunger ¿ MDS in promoting greater efficiency and effectiveness in services and programs offered by the social service network of SUAS. The recent expansion of SUAS, when thousands of social units as CRAS and CREAS were implemented across the country, represented a step forward for setting up a network of social assistance services which today are faced with different obstacles.
The main difficulties are due to SUAS ¿immaturity¿- a recent model yet in construction - which requires the establishment of quality parameters to assess the result of provision of its services and programs, as well as the improvement of its own internal management capacity and regulatory mechanisms, led to the establishment of clear rules of relationship between levels of Government and between public and private services linked to SUAS network.
