Mayor Francisco Azcué led the presentation of the “Relevar” Project this Tuesday morning, which is being carried out by the Municipality of Concordia through the Secretariat of Human Development and the participation of different areas.
It is executed in different steps that consist first of opening up in the neighborhoods to then make an initial diagnosis with territorial operators going house to house and then working in the field through territorial approaches.
“When we began our administration, we did so with the clear objective of transforming Concordia, taking it off the podium of being one of the poorest cities. For that, we have a government plan and a method, from which we will not deviate, and one of the most important tools to achieve it is this project,” affirmed the Mayor.
For its implementation, work began using the Horus system, which focuses on the person, on the individual; that is why in every approach carried out in the neighborhoods, we work with the family, with each member. “It is about giving tools to every resident of Concordia so that they can get ahead through effort and merit, knowing that this is impossible if there is no minimum floor from which to start. You cannot transform if there is no real data; you cannot transform what is unknown.”
After highlighting that the administration he leads is open-door, Azcué made a call to all those who want to join the “Relevar” Project. “We invite you to be part of this, where there is a lot of vocation and love for our residents. When we started, the idea was to have data, information, but when we encountered the magnitude of the reality, we immediately turned to our structure to address the different situations,” which is why “it is important that we all work together for our fellow residents of Concordia.”
Finally, and after underlining the work that each area of the Municipality has been doing, as well as the people involved in the project, Azcué maintained that it is the beginning of a path “that will change history because we are going to transform our city and we are going to do it together.”
GOAL
For his part, the Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide, pointed out that “when we talk about poverty, we talk about a person equal to us but with needs” that range from material, educational, and cultural to social, “despite the resources and the strategic position that Concordia has.”
“When we began to integrate ourselves and worked in the field and spoke with each person, with each family, we began to understand many things that do not appear in the numbers, that are not part of a statistic,” affirmed Arístide.
As a closing, he highlighted that the goal for this 2024 is to be able to survey all the popular neighborhoods of the city. “It is a high bar, but I know we can do it because there is commitment, and from that, we will begin to see the transformation we hope for so much.”
The presentation of the “Relevar” Project concluded with a videoconference with Dr. Abel Albino, president of the CONIN Foundation.
Accompanying Mayor Francisco Azcué and the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide were Nélida Vedoya, coordinator of the “Relevar” Project; Leandro Garbarino, undersecretary of the Special Unit for Strategic Projects; Ricardo Lagraña, for the Undersecretariat of Sports; Julieta Iglesias, for the Undersecretariat of Culture; Rocío Postan, coordinator of the territorial agents; and María Luz Penco, from the Undersecretariat of Education.
DATA
Until mid-April, which is the time taken for the preparation and presentation of the report, 13 neighborhoods had been surveyed; 1,926 homes and a total of 5,150 people.
This meant the completion of 18 territorial approaches, in which there were 215 pediatric consultations; 188 dental; 122 nutritional; 50 obstetric and gynecological; 52 clinical consultations and 4 assisted emergencies, among others.
Regarding vaccination, 265 vaccines were administered, of which 57% correspond to adults with incomplete records and 28% to minors with incomplete vaccination records.
The survey also reveals other data, such as the materials used for the construction of homes, of which 72.1% are brick, stone, block, or concrete with plaster; 21.2% are wood; 4.9% are brick, stone, block, or concrete without plaster; 1.7% are sheet metal or fiber cement; 0.1% are cardboard, palm, straw alone, or waste material; and 0.1% are adobe with plaster.
Regarding sewage, 1,283 homes are connected to the sewage network; 248 have cesspools; 81 have a septic tank with a cesspool; 11 have excavations in the ground; and 3 have surface outlets.
Present were the Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; National Senator Alfredo De Angeli; the president of the Mixed Technical Commission of Salto Grande, Argentine delegation, Alejandro Daneri; members of the Municipal Cabinet and representatives of the Provincial Government; councilors from all blocs; members of the Armed Forces and Security Forces; and territorial operators, among others.
