 MexicoAraceli Ortega and Miguel Székely Chapter 10 in Public Policies for Human Development, 2010, pp 307-327 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The commitment to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is one of the few issues on which a broad consensus has emerged in Mexican society in recent years. An initial report on the MDGs was presented in early 2004 as part of a joint effort on the part of the Government of Mexico and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This report was discussed extensively by many stakeholders, including both chambers of Congress, the state governments, the municipal governments, and the executive branch of the federal government. This appears to have yielded three key results. For the first time in many years, a shared vision has emerged regarding the medium-term objectives the country should aim for. In addition, broad agreement was reached on the need to pursue the MDGs, independent of the political moment and the six-year electoral cycles marked by each change of government. Finally, the need to take action on several fronts was acknowledged, with the participation of all three levels of government and all three branches of government, to ensure the goals will be achieved.
