Bolivarian Missions Cut Poverty Through Oil-Funded Social Programmes

Funded directly by nationalised oil revenue, the Chávez government ran large-scale "Misiones Bolivarianas" programmes: Barrio Adentro brought over 20,000 Cuban doctors into poor neighbourhoods for free primary healthcare, Misión Robinson ran a mass literacy campaign, and Misión Mercal subsidised food staples. Venezuela's official poverty rate fell substantially through the mid-2000s oil boom years.
