The integral approach strategies adopted by
Favela-Bairro consist of proposals of integrated and
participative actions. The path that goes from welfare
to work should combine programs and services for
human and social development with labor and incomegeneration
opportunities. To be viable, however, social
promotion interventions should be focused on
geographical areas with a high concentration of poverty,
specifically on the poorest families.
An intersectoral decentralized and participative
approach can produce synergetic effects capable of
providing greater impact for poverty and inequality
reduction policies, and capable of contributing to their
sustainability.
Although Favela-Bairro has been based on the idea
of integrated urban infrastructure interventions, initially
the program did not incorporate all the basic components
of an integral approach strategy. These components
were gradually incorporated into its design as a result
of the participatory process and the transformations
that occurred in the municipal administration.
Favela-Bairro is the result of an evolving process
that resulted in the creation of a typical integral
development model with a territorial base that
incorporates life-cycle perspectives.
Rio de Janeiro inhabitants, either living in favelas
or not, recognize the importance of the Favela-Bairro
program. A public opinion poll carried out in 2003 asked
cariocas (as Rio residents are called) to choose from
a list of governmental programs the one to which the
next mayor should give priority. Favela-Bairro was
chosen in first place in all three rounds of the survey.
The same institute asked respondents about the most
important project for the city, and again Favela-Bairro
ranked first: 26.1 percent of respondents have elected
Favela-Bairro as more important than programs such
as minimum income, popular restaurants, and even
essential works in major city roads.

COUNTING THE COST

Can the world economy continue to shrug off high oil
prices?
HAD you been told in late 2001-not long after that
September's terrorist attacks, and when stockmarkets had
been tumbling for 18 months or so-that the price of crude
oil would more than triple within four years, you might well
have predicted global economic meltdown. The price of a
barrel of West Texas Intermediate has risen from $18 in
November 2001 to record levels: it hit yet another new
high, above $67, this week. This is similar in scale to the
price jumps of 1973-74, 1978-80 and 1989-90, all of which
were followed by worldwide recession and rising inflation.
Today, though, global GDP growth is well above trend, while
inflation remains low. Why has the world economy fared
so comfortably this time?
There are several popular explanations. The simplest is that,
although the latest price increase is about as big as those in
previous episodes, it has been more gradual. In 1979 the
price of oil doubled in six months; this time it took 18 months,
giving households and firms more time to adjust and so doing
less damage to their confidence and finances and hence to
economic activity. This is plausible, but unlikely to be the
whole story: no matter what the pace of the increase, it
pains Americans to pay $3-plus for a gallon of petrol.
