This whole framework of "Misiones" (Missions, or more appropriate, projects) are intended to "reestablish social basic rights according to the 1999 Constitution established by the Fifth Republic and one of its pillars is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2021.

All these Missions and Sub Missions are sponsored with financial aid from PDVSA. However, there are some critics on the matter, since some Cuban and Venezuelan doctors overflowed Spanish speaking countries (Latin American as well as Spain) with below average paid fees, and some of these doctors even defected and denounced they were being used as modern slaves by Venezuela in order to pay Cuba's foreign debt. The other main focus of criticism is its financing in the long term, since oil prices have been falling and these government subsidies can no longer satisfy the labor demand nor the needed supplies for the population.

The flag of "Misión Sucre" is the logo over a white horizontal flag.
It is more likely that each Mission (and Sub Mission) has its own flag.
