The book “Bolsa Família Program: a decade of social inclusion in Brazil”, organized by minister Tereza Campello, from the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger (MDS), and by the minister of the Secretariat of Strategic Affairs of the Presidency of the Republic and president of the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA), Marcelo Neri, has earned a shorter, bilingual version containing the most important information of its original 29 chapters. The summary addresses from anthropology and medicine to themes such as impacts over education, labor, health and macroeconomics, as well institutional details of the Unified Registry for Social Programs (Cadastro Único) and the articulation between levels and spheres of government. The purpose of these new publications is to promote, internally and abroad, the diffusion and exchange of knowledge on the country’s main social technology program in recent years and to serve as a model for similar initiatives throughout the world. This executive summary is the first publication of the Brazil Learning Initiative for a World without Poverty (WWP).
