Overview
This renewal grant would allow IMCO to continue to conduct its broadly influential national, state, and municipal competitiveness indices, which serve as tools for identifying the policy interventions that will be most effective for improving Mexico’s economic competitiveness and development. IMCO’s strategy is to present rigorous empirical data and analysis that fill information gaps; override ideological, dogmatic positions taken by Mexican power brokers; and break partisan gridlock among decisionmakers. This work fits squarely in our strategic framework—to build knowledge for development in Mexico—and is also significant for the Foundation’s interest in advancing public budget transparency and accountability there. By clearly linking competitiveness with transparency and accountability, IMCO enhances Mexico’s ability to attract investment and raise levels of per capita income and social development, and its budget transparency advocacy reaches a segment of Mexican stakeholders (the private sector and political elite) that other Foundation transparency and accountability grantees generally do not.
