The Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion in Peru was created on 18 August, 2011, during the presidency of Ollanta Humala and the cabinet of Salomon Lerner Ghitis. The inaugural and incumbent minister in charge of the ministry is Kurt Burneo.

History and function

Humala's had initially pledged^[1] to form a Ministry of Production and Social Inclusion.^[2] However, on 18 August, the cabinet authorised the creation of the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion whose function would be to implement the social programmes of the government to promote "social inclusion." The ministry was created to turn the social programmes into productive tools for the benefit of the poor and that one of its objectives would be to create the conditions so that beneficiaries of such social programmes as Juntos, Pension 65 and Cuna Mas, as promoted by Humala's policy of promoting social inclusion during his campaign, can use the subsidies for "financial leverage" so as to improve their quality of life,^[3] according to Prime Minister Salomon Lerne Ghitis.^[4]

The ministry would be in charge of some social issues that were formerly managed by either the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, the cabinet or the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Production would continue to be in charge of such sectors as those involving fisheries and industries; the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, however, was due to undergo some changes.^[2]

The inaugural minister, Kurt Burneo, said that: "The idea is to centralise the social programmes. One of the current problems that has led to glaring economic losses is the fact that the social programmes are disperse."^[5] He further said that his role would entail the formulation, planning, implementation, evaluation and monitoring of the national and sectoral policy on social development and inclusion.^[4]
