On December 19th, 2014, USAID/Mexico launched the Mexico Partnership Program Annual Program Statement (APS). The APS allows USAID to partner with Mexican organizations to achieve common objectives by supporting creative approaches to development challenges.

The APS invites local civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, education and research institutions, private businesses, financial institutions, chambers of commerce, industry associations, foundations, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, and other private-sector organizations to identify and suggest ways we can work together to address key challenges in Mexico that are aligned with USAID/Mexico’s strategic objectives. The Mexican Partnership Program contributes to USAID’s overall programming in Mexico. 

USAID/Mexico programs support Mexican institutions to achieve the following: a) prevent crime and violence by increasing the capacity of youth at-risk of recruitment to violent activity (“at-risk youth”) to play productive roles in their communities and by facilitating the replication of successful crime and violence prevention models by local stakeholders; b) support local civil society organization efforts to render Mexico’s 2008 constitutional criminal justice reform operational by 2016; c) support civil society organizations to advocate for/promote the protection of human rights, prevent abuses, and assist victims; and d) support Mexico’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

On January 13th, 2015, USAID/Mexico hosted a Google Hangout to address inquiries. Click here to access the Google Hangout recording.
