Overview
- The government published Decreto Supremo Nº 096-2026-EF that authorizes a S/23,319,205 transfer charged to MIDIS to finance the Programa Vaso de Leche.
- The decree breaks the sum into S/20,819,205 for food provision through product purchases and S/2,500,000 for rations, and states the funds must be used only for the program.
- Budget offices must complete codifications and submit the required Notas de Modificación Presupuestaria under Decreto Legislativo Nº 1440, and habilitating authorities must approve disaggregation by resolution within five calendar days.
- MIDIS says the transfer will reach municipal governments and local Vaso de Leche committees that serve vulnerable children, pregnant and lactating mothers, and low-income families, with reporting that the move could affect about 1.6 million people.
- The decree requires the Midis and MEF to publish the list of beneficiary local governments and assigned amounts the same day as the official gazette, a step intended to improve transparency and deter misuse of social assistance funds.
