Web: Official website of the programme
Description: Conditional transfer programme (CCT), one of the most important in the region. It started in 1997 with the name Progresa (Education, Health and Nutrition) and attended rural areas only. In 2001, it changed to the current name and began its expansion into semi-urban and urban areas. That year changes were made ​​to the management of the programme and new transfers were added. Since its inception, it has been one of the programmes with more impact evaluation reports in several areas. In recent years new cash transfers have been incorporated, such as the energy support, the older persons and food support "vivir mejor". The main aim of these transfers is to alleviate consequences of the crisis on families' budgets caused by international food prices rising. From 2010, the programme operates the Food Support Programme (PAL), which embraces all the food supports.
