The Secretariat of Human Development produced a report regarding the progress of the Local Board for the Commissions on Employment; Aging and Older Persons; Problematic Consumption; and Early Childhood and Education.
With the commitment to comprehensively address important challenges for Concordia, and hand in hand with the July Pact, at the end of 2024 the Local Board of Human Development was launched, created by ordinance and composed of representatives from different areas of the Municipality of Concordia; the Deliberative Council; provincial and national agencies, and intermediate institutions.
According to the report produced by the Secretariat of Human Development, the following objectives were achieved:
EMPLOYMENT
From the Employment Commission, the implementation of an Agreement for Training in Pruning and Fruit Harvesting is detailed. Through this action, training for 250 to 1000 beneficiaries from various neighborhoods is promoted, together with the Export Chamber and INTA.
Another advance occurred in the Training in Greenhouse Construction. This was achieved in collaboration with the Secretariat of Productive Development, providing courses at the Productive Pole. Each course/neighborhood benefits 20 people, starting in the La Arrocera neighborhood, with more than 15 neighborhoods already registered. Regarding this section, work is being done with Family Garden Initiatives that benefit a total of 180 families in 10 neighborhoods of Concordia. Among them are Camba Paso, Carretera La Cruz, Arrocera, 27 de Noviembre, Pampa Soler 1 and 2, Nebel, Silencio Huerta, Agua Patito, San Francisco, and Los Pájaros.
OLDER PERSONS
Regarding the Commission on Aging and Older Persons, the inclusion in the Provincial Network of Care for Older Adults stands out. Indeed, the commission is an active part of this network.
Participation in the Congress of Comprehensive Care; members of the commission attended the event, held on May 16 in Paraná. There, the relevance of caregivers as a primary support network for older persons was highlighted.
Progress was also made in the organization of the event "Sharing the path towards Good Treatment," articulated with various institutions, retiree centers, and related associations, within the framework of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
On the other hand, the Recognition of the Municipal Council of Older Adults was promoted through an ordinance.
PROBLEMATIC CONSUMPTION
From the Commission on Problematic Consumption, a Territorial Survey and Diagnosis was prepared, where an anonymous survey was designed and applied in collaboration with the Undersecretariat of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects and the Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Government Secretariat. This tool collected vital information from 319 people in the José Hernández, Isthilart Norte, and Isthilart Sur neighborhoods, offering a precise overview of problematic consumption.
In addition, Innovative Digital Tools were applied, creating digital devices for prevention, including a complete local guide of institutions that address problematic consumption.
Within the actions in Prevention and Awareness, the Prevention subcommittee carried out talks in various settings, reaching 1800 participants in clubs (Colegiales, La Bianca, Nebel), schools (Comercio N°16, Gerardo Yoya), and training centers (ISEF, UTN), as well as in the Nebel and La Bianca neighborhoods.
The commission joined the Provincial Network on Consumption and Addiction Issues, participating in the 1st in-person Meeting of the Problematic Consumption Network of Entre Ríos (June 30 in Gualeguay), and logistics were managed for 40 members to attend the Consumption Problem Approach Program of the Ministry of Health of Entre Ríos.
Finally, the completion of training aimed at Consumption Preventers was highlighted. It is currently being carried out, organized in conjunction with the provincial Ministry of Health, and it is a training course with more than 700 registered participants where the development of 250 specific projects for the city is projected, distributed in 4 training modules.
CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION
Finally, regarding the progress achieved in the Commissions on Early Childhood and Education, the reincorporation of more than 50 children into the educational system who were out of the classroom was achieved. Constant monitoring and follow-up are carried out to prevent children from dropping out.
In addition, a database is being managed that, once consolidated, will be key to streamlining actions and optimizing the articulation between national, provincial, and municipal agencies, guaranteeing an efficient response to the needs of early childhood and education in the city.
Also, some transversal actions have been carried out from the Local Board, among which the implementation of a Training Workshop on Public Management stands out, organized in articulation with the Convivir Foundation and the Municipal Coordination of Public Administration with the objective of providing conceptual and methodological tools for the planning and execution of projects with participatory and community approaches, directly strengthening the capabilities of the commissions.
