President Ollanta Humala arrived in Puno on Monday in order to take part in the inauguration of nine public investment projects.
The developments of those projects were conducted by non-skilled labour at the Chucuito – Juli Province located in Southern Puno region.

Those were financed by the government-run program “Trabaja Peru” (Work, Peru).

The project execution, worth more than US$1 million, enabled to benefit 676 employees, confirmed the Government Palace.

“Trabaja Peru” seeks to create and promote quality employment for former unemployed or underemployed Peruvians living in poverty.

In 2015, the program will develop some 43 new co-financed infrastructure projects worth more than US$3.28 million.

This will enable to create an average 2,450 new temporary jobs.
