Overview
A renewal grant to the Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad (IMCO) would enable the organization to continue producing original data (and continue using its pioneering methods of gathering it) on state- and municipal-level public budget and accounting practices in Mexico. The information that IMCO has produced with previous Hewlett Foundation support has been broadly disseminated and has been credited with sparking sustained public debate on government expenditures in Mexico, as well as having an impact on federal- and state-level budget practices. IMCO would produce two budget indices: one to measure the degree of budget discretion in all thirty-one Mexican states and the federal district of Mexico City, the other to focus on municipal-level spending. The data will provide evidence that diverse constituencies can use to press for better state- and municipal-level budget accountability in Mexico. Finally, the project will track and press for implementation of Mexico's reforms to standardize state-level accounting practices.
