PROGRESA/Oportunidades

PROGRESA, later known as Oportunidades, is a Mexican anti-poverty program that provides financial incentives to low-income families. By offering cash transfers conditioned on behaviors like school attendance, health check-ups, and nutritional practices, it aims to improve children’s education and health outcomes. The program encourages families to invest in their children’s future, promoting better long-term social and economic mobility. It is designed to reduce poverty sustainably by addressing immediate needs while fostering behaviors that support health, education, and economic stability.
