Targeting and Conditionalities in Mexico: The End of a Cash Transfer Model?

Chapter Chapter 3 in Citizen’s Income and Welfare Regimes in Latin America, 2013, pp 67-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Mexico presents a noteworthy persistence in its conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs. The federal government’s main program, Oportunidades, is a continuation from the Zedillo administration’s (1994–2000) Progresa, implemented in 1997. The Progresa replaced Solidaridad or Pronasol program from the Carlos Salinas’ government (1988–1994). History was made when Vicente Fox, a member of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), became president in 2000 (2000–2006). He was the first president in 70 years who was not a member of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). It was during his term as president (2000–2006) that Oportunidades as Oportunidades/Progresa began.
