The results of this study have reflected that the TEKOPORÃ program in the national social policy is framed in the access to the public services of education, health, housing, fundamentally. Through the strengthening of this type of social programs, it has been sought to guarantee the population of disadvantaged sectors an improvement in their quality of life in recent years.
