dc.description.abstract	Breakfast Programs can be implemented to subsidize school enrollment when there are barriers to access education. In this paper, I exploit a quasi experimental setting in Bolivian municipalities to assess the impact of a Breakfast Program over school enrollment. I supplement the analysis assessing if there were improvements in performance and family nutritional status. I find that the program had a positive impact on primary enrollment, but find no evidence of positive effects over performance or family nutritional outcomes. Results suggest that enrollment increased through a removal of economic barriers, that allowed to enroll children who were out of school system.
