The program failed for three reasons:
*Latin American nations were unwilling to implement needed reforms, particularly in land reform.
*Kennedy's presidential successors, [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] and Richard Nixon, were less supportive of the program.
*The amount of money was not enough for the entire region: $20 billion averaged out to only $10 per Latin American.<ref name="talon" />

The [[Organization of American States]] disbanded the permanent committee created to implement the alliance in 1973.<ref name="columbia"/>
