A significant concern in developing countries is the disparity between urban and rural areas. The lack of access to health, education, and other services presents a worrying issue for the rural population. Places where access is complex and have less incentive for the private sector to invest in services put the government as the principal actor in providing services to these populations. The Peruvian government created the TAMBO national program to reduce the gap in access to essential services for the poor population. This paper seeks to measure how access to a social program such as TAMBO can affect trust in public institutions. The study exploits georeferenced information of TAMBOS's and household's location to measure its effect on trust in public institutions: provincial municipality, district municipality, regional government, National Registry of Identification and Civil Status, and the Ministry of Education. Using a staggered Diff-in-Diff proposed by Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021) from 2008-2019, the study finds a negative effect on trust. The most affected institutions are the Provincial and District municipalities. The study provides evidence of a heterogeneous effect of the gender of the head of the household. It also shows that households with women as head are more likely to project the strongest reduction in trust. The results are robust after a different type of staggered Diff-in-Diff, event study, and falsification test.
