As a middle-income country, Mexico plays a dual role as recipient and provider of international cooperation.

UNDP faces the challenges implied by asymmetries in national development and maximizes the country's potential as an international partner for development, through synergies between programs executed globally and their implementation at the national level.

The programs, financed both by the federal government, local governments, and by international funds (Montreal Protocol and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), respond to local problems, while producing diagnoses of social policy used in the design and execution of public policies.

The role of supplier has contributed to the pioneering position of Mexico in the international arena on issues such as climate change, renewable energy, development of national measurement, reporting and verification (MVR) systems for greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, electoral assistance and productive value chains, among others.

In light of the creation of the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID ), UNDP has committed to collaborating so that Mexico continues to contribute to the progressive development of other countries, through South-South cooperation mechanisms, triangular cooperation and horizontal cooperation.
