The eradication of extreme poverty

The Brazil without Poverty Plan establishes three operational fronts for eradicating poverty: Income Guarantee, Access to Services, and Production Inclusion, of which the latter two are aligned with the BNDES’ operations.

The plan emphasizes the importance of efforts to increase income per capita and well-being. Based on the understanding that poverty is the absence of well-being in certain dimensions – Modernization of Public/Health/Sanitation Administration (water, sewage, drainage and solid waste)/Urbanization/Streets/Food Production/Housing/Jobs/Occupation and Income/Social Welfare/Education/Safety/Urban Mobility/ Energy (electric power) –, the BNDES relies on policies, programs, products and financing lines that are strongly aligned with these dimensions, contributing with the purpose of eradicating poverty:

• PMAE (Modernization of Revenue Administration and Fiscal, Financial and Equity Management of State Administration);
• PMAT (the BNDES Program for the Modernization of Tax Administration and of the Management of Automatic Basic Social Sectors);
