TL;DR
Progresa, a large-scale, incentive-based development program with a nutritional intervention, is associated with better growth and lower rates of anemia in low-income, rural infants and children in Mexico.

The majority of research and programmatic efforts improved growth rates by 0.10 to 0.50 SD, which would reduce prevalences of malnutrition at 12 months of age by 1% to 19% and could reduce deaths due to malnutrition by 2% to 13%, depending on the underlying prevalence of malnutrition in the community.

It is argued that the contribution of evaluation is not so much in the nature of being a final arbiter, but rather in thenature of helping to seek the optimal combination of local conditions and type of assistance offered.
