# Bolivia Progresa con la Alianza poster (Spanish poster distributed in La Paz)

A map of Bolivia headed 'Bolivia progresa con la Alianza' (Bolivia progresses with the Alliance), marked with symbols for drinking-water systems, health centres, industries, housing, schools, cooperatives and army-built roads under the Bolivian Alliance for Progress programme in 1964. A yellow area shows malaria eradication. The tell is card-stacking: only projects credited to the programme are mapped, with counts but no costs or gaps, under the slogan 'progresses'.
