| Summary: | This report analyzes, through a review
of the regulatory framework, case studies, and international
experiences, current arrangements for coordination of
government programs in priority regions in Mexico, as well
as opportunities for better addressing the development needs
of those regions via enhanced coordination. The broad
hypotheses underpinning the analysis are: 1) Poor
coordination (within government and between government and
civil society) impedes the effective use of government
resources (and the mobilization of private ones) in backward
regions. 2) Participatory planning fora at the regional
(i.e., inter-municipal) level may provide an institutional
and operational framework through which those impediments
can be removed. The report is organized as follows: Chapter
2 reviews the recent evolution of regional development
policies. Chapter 3 develops a conceptual framework for
analyzing horizontal and coordination problems as they
relate to regional policies. Chapter 4 discusses the
normative framework for coordination developed in
Mexico's laws and regulations. Chapter 5 analyzes
current challenges to, and opportunities for, effective
coordination in Mexico on the basis of four case studies.
Chapter 6 discusses international experiences with
horizontal and vertical coordination in several Latin
American countries, as well as the relevance and
applicability of those lessons to Mexico. Finally, chapter 7
develops tentative recommendations. |
