Desarrollo Integral de la Familia
Encyclopedia : D : DE : DES : Desarrollo Integral de la Familia
The Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) (formally, Sistema Nacional para el Desarrollo Integral de la Familia) is a Mexican public institution of social assistance that focuses on strengthening and developing the welfare of the Mexican families.
The National Director of DIF reports directly to the President of Mexico and has traditionally been the First Lady of Mexico. Local chapters of the DIF report to municipal presidents and governors.
The current National Director of DIF is Ana Rosa Payán while the First Lady is Marta Sahagún, the wife of the president of Mexico Vicente Fox. Fox got married in 2001 a year after starting his term. Sahagún, however, decided to found an independent non-profit organization called Vamos México, which has been the object of controversy after an article publised on the Financial Times containing financial information about the institution.
