| Summary: | This study examines agricultural and
rural development (ARD) public expenditures in Mexico. The
study is based on federal public expenditures. The study is
structured in six parts as follows: the first part presents
the Mexican ARD context in terms of policy and performance.
The second part dissects the ARD public budget, classifying
expenditure programs in various ways so as to provide an
overview of the scope and composition of ARD spending. The
third part analyses efficiency issues by means of
international and state-level comparisons of agriculture
public expenditures (APE) and agriculture performance
indicators. The main focus of the assessment is on APE, but
these are evaluated within the broader context of rural
development policies, considering the degree of consistency
and complementarily between the two sets of policies. The
fourth part investigates equity issues emerging from ARD
expenditures. Equity is evaluated at the level of geographic
units (states and municipalities) and of individuals and
households. In addition to assessing the equity impacts of
the main rural programs, an effort is made to evaluate the
overall equity implications of the entire APE and of rural
development expenditure (RDE). The fifth part contains a
brief analysis of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
system of ARD programs and of selected institutional
aspects, and highlights some issues. Finally, the sixth part
offers reflections on possible directions for moving
forwards both for the overall evolution of ARD expenditures
and for some of the main programs. |
