Regional Intersectoral Roundtables on Vulnerable Groups
The Regional Intersectoral Roundtables on Vulnerable People were convened by the Ministry of Social Development to design policies to respond to the needs of vulnerable groups (homeless people, people with disabilities, the elderly, and the youth) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Civil society and private sector organizations specialized in the field and representatives of government agencies, such as the Regional Secretariat of the Ministry of Health, the National Disability Service, the National Service for the Elderly, delegates from the Armed Forces and the Association of Municipalities of Chile, participate in the regional roundtables. The roundtables are, as their name suggests, regional in nature, and were organized in various regions, for example, Ñuble, BíoBío and Los Lagos.
