Abstract

This article complements existing studies on the incumbency effects of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) by analysing the principal mechanisms by whichMi Familia Progresa(MIFAPRO) in Guatemala became increasingly politicised through clientelistic vote buying and threats of programme expulsion in case of non‐electoral support. It finds thatMIFAPROconstitutes an emblematic case with mixed effects that are particularly relevant in the diffusion ofCCTs to other developing countries.
