Temporary Employment Programme (PET) (Programa de Empleo Temporal) (2000-)
2000-
The Temporary Employment Programme (PET) is a programme that operates community projects in exchange for a cash transfer for eligible households residing in municipalities with high levels of marginalisation, high levels of unemployment or residing in settlements that have been affected by a natural disaster or other crisis. Thus, the programme seeks to implement infrastructure projects, improvements in conditions for sustainable agriculture and disaster mitigation works. The PET contemplates its operation in the following areas: 1) Improvement of health; 2) Preservation of historical heritage; 3) Improvement of local infrastructure; 4) Conservation and reconstruction of the network of rural and feeder roads; 5) Conservation of ecosystems and natural resources; 6) Citizen educational communication; 7) Food attention to groups at risk and Food Banks; 8) Actions to mitigate the impact of Climate Change; and 9) Productive Projects.
