Vice President Margarita Cedeno has announced that the Progresando program she headed as First Lady and the Solidaridad program managed by former Vice President Rafael Alburquerque are to be merged.
"This will make it possible to expand the reach of the government social programs for families living in extreme poverty," she said, as reported on the Presidency website.
Progresando was one of the key programs she was in charge of when First Lady under the Fernandez administration.
Solidaridad is the welfare card program headed by former Vice President Rafael Alburquerque during his two terms from 2004-2012.
"We are going to continue with the projects that we have in the Vice Presidency. You know that the Vice President coordinates the social cabinet of all the government. And well, some other roles that the President is delegating to us," she said, as reported in Diario Libre.
President Medina also appointed his close aide Cesar Prieto to manage the Presidency Social Plan.

On Friday 17 August she took part in the inauguration of 10 technology workshops at the Technical Professional Training Institute (INFOTEP) accompanied by the Vice President of Taiwan Wu Den-yih. Taiwan donated US$3.7 million for the series of workshops that will be taught at the Centro Tecnologico de la Gerencia Regional de Infotep in Santo Domingo and another five are mobile.
