This paper shows a limited impact of the Oportunidades program in reducing poverty in Mexico and Baja California during the study period (2002-2006), which is due to insufficient resources and the exclusion of poor households. In the country the three types of poverty had a modest reduction and in Baja California capabilities poverty declined slightly, but the food and heritage poverty increased despite the program.
