Basic Information
Programme Details
Conditional cash transfer programme (CCT) with emphasis on child labour. In 2005 PETI unified its services with the Bolsa Família programme, attending the non-poor households who presents child labour situations, while Bolsa Família attends households living in poverty. The monetary transfer from PETI was gradually absorbed by the Bolsa Familia and today a very limited number of families still receive it. In 2013-2014 the redesign of the PETI was carried out in parallel to the reordering of the Service of Coexistence and Strengthening Links (Serviço de Convivência e Fortalecimento de Vínculos - SCFV) offered in the field of social assistance, with a focus, among other publics, on children and adolescents in situaton of child labor. From then on, the public that participated in the PETI's socio-educational activities in the extended school day, came to be attended as a priority in the SCFV, along with other public that experience situations that constitute violations of rights.
