Mexico.Additional Financing for the Support to Oportunidades Project

The objectives of the Support to Oportunidades Project for Mexico are to: increase capacities in health, nutrition and education of poor families through human capital investment by promoting regular health check-ups, improving health status, and raising school enrollment and attendance rates; and build sustainable connections between Oportunidades and other social programs of the Government of Mexico in order to improve health and education outcomes for program participants.

The reallocation is necessary because the Ministry of Finance and public credit has withheld the authorization necessary for the national coordination of oportunidades to use loan resources to cover operating costs. The closing date is December 31, 2013.
