The Federal District established the Plan for Overcoming Extreme Poverty in the Federal District - "DF without Misery" in 2011, with the aim of combating poverty and reducing social inequalities. The Plan provided families in extreme poverty with access to basic social rights such as health, education, and social assistance. The central problem of the research was to identify the impacts that the Plan had on access to education and the overcoming of poverty in the Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol territory during the ten years of its implementation. This is a study of comparative education, with a temporal dimension for comparison, considering the beginning and end of the DF without Misery Plan (2011-2021) as reference points. The research was conducted based on a bibliographical review of the topic, as well as an evaluation of collected data regarding education, social assistance, child labor, basic sanitation, and vaccination coverage in the specified region. It was observed that the Plan contributed to keeping children/adolescents in school, but it did not show effectiveness in terms of repetition and age-grade distortion rates. Additionally, the Plan was not efficient in overcoming poverty among the studied population. It can be concluded that the integration between public policies and data collection by public agencies is essential for assessing future social programs and ensuring that the population's needs are fully addressed.
