摘要：Because of Mexico’s new and innovative Education, Health and Nutrition Program (PROGRESA), poor Mexicans are beginning to see improvements in the health, education and nutrition of their children. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) of Washington, DC, has assisted PROGRESA in conducting an evaluation indicating that the roots of this anti-poverty program are beginning to take hold. Based on repeated surveys of individuals and households in localities randomly assigned as PROGRESA and non- PROGRESA localities before the start of the program, the research results show that that after just three years, the poor children of the rural communities of Mexico where PROGRESA operates are attending school longer, eating more diversified diets, getting more frequent health care and learning that the future may look quite different from the past.
