description Beginning in the 90s and until the present, conditional income transfer programs have been the preferred option of Latin American governments to address poverty problems. The introduction of these programs prompted a set of reforms within the State and the public administration. This article examines how the introduction of income transfer programs brought related processes such as the emergence of a new institutional framework in the social field, a relatively new set of management requirements, and the use of new information technologies. This article used a qualitative methodology, reviewed bibliographic and documentary sources, and analysed recent research to define institutional and technological policy changes in Latin America. The results show that, despite specificities, State reforms are persistent.  They also show that the managerial orientation announced in 1998 by the Latin American Council of Administration for Development prevails over the ideological spectrum of governments in office.

The introduction of these programs prompted a set of reforms within the State and the public administration. This article examines how the introduction of income transfer programs brought related processes such as the emergence of a new institutional framework in the social field, a relatively new set of management requirements, and the use of new information technologies. This article used a qualitative methodology, reviewed bibliographic and documentary sources, and analysed recent research to define institutional and technological policy changes in Latin America.

Desde 1990 y hasta la actualidad, los programas de transferencia de renta condicionada se convirtieron en la opción predilecta de muchos Gobiernos de América Latina para responder a los problemas de la pobreza. Estos programas propiciaron un conjunto de reformas al interior del Estado y de la Administración pública. Este artículo examina cómo su introducción estuvo acompañada de procesos concomitantes tales como la emergencia de una nueva institucionalidad en el campo social, un conjunto novedoso de requerimientos de gestión y el aprovechamiento de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. El presente estudio emplea una metodología cualitativa y se apoya en las revisiones de bibliografía y documentos normativos, busca comprender las alteraciones institucionales y tecnológicas de la política socioasistencial en América Latina. Se destacan la diversidad de reformas permanentes del Estado y la persistencia de una orientación gerencial anunciada en 1998 por el Consejo Latinoamericano de Administración para el Desarrollo (CLAD) que predomina con relativa independencia al signo ideológico de los Gobiernos de turno.
