Mexico's commitment to gender equality can be fully implemented only if it is underpinned by sound governance structures and mechanisms. Mexico has made headway in developing an institutional framework for achieving gender equality. It consists of a national system for equality between men and women, a national policy, and oversight mechanisms to hold the government accountable for achieving results. Yet, Mexico's growing efforts to achieve gender equality still deliver only limited results.

 

Inequalities persist between women and men across society, especially at sub-national levels. The gender gap points to some weak or broken links in the gender equality delivery chain. This chapter assesses the overall institutional framework - institutions' mandates, the allocation of resources, institutional capacity, and accountability mechanisms - for furthering gender equality in Mexico.

 

This chapter is from 'Building an Inclusive Mexico: Policies and Good Governance for Gender Equality'.
