Pide Coneval continuar con evaluación de la pobreza

CONEVAL urges the Mexican government to preserve objective, autonomous data generation for poverty measurement following constitutional reforms that transfer these functions to INEGI. This continuity is vital because decades of consistent technical rigor have established a reliable definition of poverty, enabling precise geographical identification and robust monitoring across all levels of government. The availability of updated indicators and methodological tools remains essential for designing effective social and labor policies that prioritize vulnerable populations. Without maintaining these specialized metrics, public interventions may lose their evidence-based foundation, potentially compromising the accuracy and impact of strategies aimed at improving citizens’ living conditions and reducing inequality. Furthermore, sustained access to high-quality evaluation data ensures that public management remains results-oriented. By continuing to assess program design and impact with technical integrity, authorities can validate the effectiveness of social policies. This transparency is crucial for open data initiatives, as it guarantees that decision-makers and citizens rely on trustworthy, impartial evidence to drive social development and accountability in government actions.
