The Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide, took stock of the first meeting of the newly formed Commission on Problematic Consumption within the framework of the Local Human Development Board. The meeting was attended by 22 participants, representing different spaces, organizations, institutions, foundations, and parishes.
In what was the initial kick-off for the space, the introduction of each of the members was central, as well as the purpose and objectives of the commissions. Short-term actions were outlined, and a consensus was reached to generate indicators and metrics to monitor the evolution of the measures taken regarding the subject.
“These are people committed to the issue of problematic consumption who represent the Judiciary, as well as various national, provincial, and municipal entities involved in the matter. The goal is to create an initial quantitative diagnosis, try to avoid hearsay and prejudices, and access the real situation of the problem,” Arístide indicated.
The main focus will be to generate a solid base for measurement and evaluation, with which to organize joint improvement proposals related to the varied situations and problems found in the territory.
COORDINATION
In that sense, the Secretary of Human Development indicated that “the style of the participants in this commission is that they are all people of action, who work in the field and have the commitment to generate concrete activities.”
Therefore, one of the first lines of action is to begin with an addiction prevention activity. The goal is for it to be a coordinated activity.
DATA
Finally, the Secretary of Human Development reported that the space uses data from recent surveys as a basis. “We have identified the neighborhoods that have the highest number of people in situations of social vulnerability and overcrowding, those that have schooling problems, and the issue of consumption. This data is on the table, but there are also other institutions that have other information, and we have to start cleaning it up to make a good diagnosis of the situation.”
Present among the institutions, foundations, and religious spaces that make up the Commission on Problematic Consumption were the “5 Panes” Foundation, the Gruta de Lourdes Parish, the “Juan XXIII” Foundation, the “Nacer de nuevo” Foundation, Caritas, the A. del Valle Parish, InVyTaM, the Colegiales Club, the “Restituo” Foundation, and SEDRONAR - DTC Los Pájaros, among others.
