showed a positive GDP <strong>in</strong> 2009. Promot<strong>in</strong>g the employability of workers <strong>in</strong> Peru is<br />

the key objective of the creation of the project, Reevaluate Peru Program. Reevaluate<br />

Peru offers work <strong>and</strong> tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g opportunities to retrenched workers <strong>and</strong> those affected<br />

by the <strong>in</strong>ternational crisis. It prioritizes youth, women <strong>and</strong> people with disabilities.<br />

Its work is supported by the M<strong>in</strong>istry of Education. Reevaluate Peru promotes the<br />

idea that without knowledge generation <strong>and</strong> the development of human capital, it is<br />

impossible to be more competitive.<br />
