β¦ Synopsis
In 1997, Mexico launched a radical new program to combat poverty. Initially named Progresa and now known as Oportunidades, the revolutionary program has become an important example of a sustainable and scalable poverty reduction strategy in the developing world. In "Progress against Poverty", Santiago Levy offers his unique perspective on the development of the program, the reasons for its success, the challenges it faces, and its applicability in other nations.
