Rural Poverty Alleviation Programs in Colombia: An Assessment of the Synergies between Oportunidades Rurales and Familias en Acción
ABSTRACT
This document sums up all
the main results of the impact assessment for Oportunidades Rurales and its interaction with
Familias en Acción. The analysis sheds light on the links between the social programs which, in
theory, could generate a greater potential in the fight against poverty but that, in practice, fall
short in their attempts because of design and targeting problems.CITATION
