 Project Mexico promotes public policies that enable Mexico’s leaders to respond to today’s political and economic challenges.
Lee Tablewski
Program Director
Launched in 2003 by Institute President Jeffrey Davidow, Project Mexico draws on the expertise of Mexican and international scholars, corporate leaders and political analysts to identify legal, regulatory and structural changes that will help Mexico strengthen its political and economic development, maintain and enhance its competitive status, protect its environment and reduce poverty.
FOCUS AREAS Corporate Social Responsibility  The Institute conducted a year-long study to identify obstacles to cooperation between business, government and private citizens on projects to improve the quality of life for the Mexican people. More than a dozen events followed the release of the report, “Una Mejor Colaboración: Fortaleciendo la contribución de las empresas mexicanas a la sociedad civil.”
The Institute has also worked to increase corporate philanthropy in Mexico by urging private enterprises to become more engaged and professional in their giving, by encouraging the recipients of corporate donations to become more transparent in their accounting practices and to push government agencies to simplify requirements and paperwork. As the carbon emission policy debate rages in North America, governments throughout the U.S. and Canada are considering a host of global warming initiatives. Their decisions will impact not only Mexico's environment but economic growth and the quality of life of the
Mexican people. Read the report entitled " A Better Partnership "

Carbon Emission Reduction Strategy
 Latin America is poised to assume a leadership role in meeting the environmental challenges of today. Its rich natural resources and sustained economic growth present an opportunity to lead international efforts to address climate change by taking advantage of investment opportunities in Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects and the emerging global carbon market. The Institute of the Americas, in collaboration with leaders from the public and private sector and civil society, is launching a program to promote dialogue on key public policy issues that will encourage the development of CDM projects in Latin America. The Carbon Market Program will build on the Institute’s past experience in organizing successful programs on this issue in Mexico and Argentina. It will identify policies and programs that will enable the hemisphere to actively participate in the growing Carbon Credits Market and enhance its competitive status, protect its environment and promote economic development.
