Community Committees for the Crusade Against Hunger and Federal Social Programs

The Community Committees for the Crusade Against Hunger and Federal Social Programs are organizations for participation and representation of a community (urban, rural or indigenous). They integrate a citizen nucleus into each community to be able to communicate with institutions at the three levels of government in the planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of the work and effort of the federal social programs for the Crusade against Hunger. In municipalities and communities with a majority indigenous population, it seeks to integrate the opinion of the traditional authorities of the community. Among its main functions are: to organize the community to carry out planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of the works and actions of the Federal Social Programs that are part of the Crusade, as well as to define preventative and corrective measures.
