Key details
The SuperAção SP program, a major poverty alleviation initiative in São Paulo, held its first local meeting in Osasco on October 18, 2023, spotlighting its ongoing expansion and impact. Attended by more than 250 people including State Secretary of Social Development Andrezza Rosalém and Osasco Mayor Gerson Pessoa, the event highlighted the program's trajectory toward strengthening local social support and promoting family autonomy.
Currently, the program employs 20 agents in Osasco but plans to increase its team to 36, aiming to assist approximately 3,300 vulnerable families by 2027. This scale-up supports the program's broader goal to reach 105,000 families across 48 municipalities, backed by an investment exceeding R$ 1.5 billion.
SuperAção SP emphasizes a shift from emergency aid to productive inclusion through professional qualification, social inclusion, and fostering entrepreneurship, as explained by Secretary Rosalém. Families receive individualized support over two years, which includes access to public policies, training, and financial incentives that can exceed R$ 10,000.
The program operates on a co-financing model, allocating R$ 110 million to municipalities with the highest poverty concentration and capacity for social assistance. For 2026, R$ 55.2 million is earmarked, with Osasco receiving R$ 4.9 million to boost local social assistance services. The initiative’s reception in Osasco has been overwhelmingly positive, with families welcoming the integrated approach to poverty reduction.
This event marks a significant step in São Paulo’s efforts to systematically combat poverty by empowering families through sustainable means rather than short-term aid, reflecting a historical transformation in social strategy within the state.
