In 1997, Mexico launched a new incentive-based poverty reduction program to enhance the human capital of those living in extreme poverty. This book presents a case study of Progresa-Oportunidades, focusing on the main factors that have contributed to the program's sustainability, policies that have allowed it to operate at the national level, and future challenges.

"Santiago Levy is well placed to write about Mexico's flagship anti-poverty programme, PROGRESA/Oportunidades. As its principal architect, and as minister with responsibility for its implementation, he was among the pioneers of a new approach to poverty relief known today by the acronym CCT, or Conditional Cash Transfers. Levy provides an insider's account of the origins and evolution of his programme...[his] book is a welcome contribution to the debate over the effectiveness of current approaches to poverty." —Maxine Molyneux, Institutte for the Study of the Americas, University of London, Journal of Latin American Studies
