Another problem is the austerity policy of the current government, which limits the hiring of personnel.
In the first half of 2022, Coneval exposes, the authorizations to hire more staff for the program ceased.
“This implies a threat to the program, since the operational structure in the states is short and not having all the staff can complicate the full development of activities or impact the workload of the remaining structure,” he explains.

In addition, the municipal and local program locations lack sufficient material resources to function and on some occasions the operators have to pay out of their own pockets.
The Coneval concludes that, although this pension does not include people with severe visual weakness, or with severe disability derived from chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer or diabetes, it is a step towards the effective exercise of the human rights of people with disabilities, a historically discriminated population.
However, the program “has pending the task of identifying what works and what does not for its objectives, as well as measuring what effects it has on the entitled population,” indicates the evaluation.
