The importance of international cooperation
The importance of international cooperation
With the purpose of boosting the reach of its actions, the Government of Mexico finds
in the mechanisms of international cooperation the best allies to beef up
efforts in the fight against poverty
Characteristics of International Cooperation
Mexico has the condition of being both an donor and a recipient of cooperation
The country does not have an agency for international cooperation for development.
The Secretariat of Foreign Affairs is in charge of coordinating international cooperation for development.
Cooperation projects are executed following a shared-costs scheme. Resource contribution varies depending on the modality and type of agreement.
SEDESOL, with its foreign counterparts, favors horizontal technical cooperation.

Principles of international cooperation in Mexico
• EXPERIENCE EXCHANGE: The international cooperation strategy relies on the premise that through shared efforts, reciprocal benefits are received.
• STRENGTHENING OF CAPABILITIES : Through training, joint research, consultancies, etc, in order to favor comprehensive social development from various fields of action.
• COMPLEMENTARITY: Seeks to contribute to and strengthen local efforts and the areas that require improvements, according to the capabilities of the cooperating partners.
• IMPLEMENTATION OF BEST PRACTICES: Through the exchange of experiences, knowledge is created about what does and does not work in different areas. This knowledge could be replicated through cooperation.
