The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) announced the transfer of S/115,634,804 to 122 districts across the country aimed at financing investment projects that will generate 5,979 temporary jobs. This measure was formalized through Supreme Decree No. 005-2026-TR, published on April 21 in the official newspaper El Peruano.
The funding comes from the Temporary Employment Program Llamkasun Peru, which focuses on labor-intensive initiatives aimed at unemployed and impoverished individuals. Labor Minister Óscar Fernández Cáceres emphasized that this investment will have an immediate impact on local economies, providing income to those who need it most.
This action aims to prioritize the inclusion of vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities and women victims of violence. The transfer is also subject to strict monitoring to ensure that resources are used exclusively for authorized purposes.
