This session was the first webinar of the series “The Brazilian experience of Social Protection Programmes”, and it addressed the communications strategy of the Bolsa Família Programme on a ‘how-to’ basis. The event highlighted the continuous development of the programme. Bolsa Família was only allocated specific budgetary resources for communications activities after 10 years. Even so, access to information is a necessity that has been addressed since the programme’s implementation in 2003.
