The "Misiones" have been the flagship of Hugo Chávez's government since 2003. Every year it launches or relaunches this type of social programs. Review this summary.
Between 2003 and 2004, on the eve of the recall referendum, President Hugo Chávez launched a management modality called "Missions", which are strategies to address problems or deficiencies by area.
These are the main missions carried out by the national government, some of them already extinct, transformed or merged with others:

The "Great Mission" modality is an expanded version of the missions that seeks to have a greater impact and massively benefit the population. So far three major missions have been announced:
*Great Venezuela Housing Mission: an expansion of the Housing and Habitat Mission, whose objectives are basically the same, construction and allocation of housing. It started this year aimed at giving homes to victims staying in shelters.
*Great Venezuela Agro Mission: another expansion, this time of the Vuelta al Campo Mission, to promote national production and agricultural activity in the country.
*Great Knowledge and Work Mission: announced in the middle of this year, its purpose is to incorporate the population, especially young people, into the labor market to combat unemployment.
