The government and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have declared the documentation of 300,000 indigent persons a "national priority." Vice President Rafael Alburquerque and UNICEF country representative Tad Polad made the announcement during a meeting at the Central Electoral Board (JCE) with JCE president Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman. Alburquerque explained once provided with IDs these persons can become beneficiaries of government extreme poverty welfare programs.
Alburquerque said the next step is to meet with representatives from the Attorney General's Office, the Supreme Court, the Senate and Chamber of Deputies presidents and members of civil society to develop a contingency plan. The VP said the government would give the JCE all the funds necessary to complete the registration process, as reported in Hoy.
