Washington D.C. September 22, 2022.- At the invitation of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Governor Alejandro Murat Hinojosa gave a conference on the success of the strategies implemented in Oaxaca to reduce poverty, which has allowed his administration to record the lowest percentage of the population living in poverty in the recent history of the entity, according to the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (Coneval).
During his participation, Murat Hinojosa highlighted some of the strategies implemented by his administration to combat poverty, such as close coordination with the other levels of government to carry out large-scale projects such as the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, investment of 259 billion pesos for the social development of the population, mainly in the areas of education, health and housing.
He also highlighted the E-40 strategy, through which poverty alleviation efforts were focused on the 20 rural municipalities with the highest percentage of the population in poverty and the 20 urban municipalities with the highest population density in poverty. This strategy, he said, allowed immediate results in the quality of life of the people and increased confidence in the actions implemented to extend them to other municipalities.
The foregoing, he said, has favored the governance and productivity of the entity, generating in turn an increase in income and sustained economic growth, thanks to which the entity is one of the few that has managed to exceed the levels of economic activity registered before the pandemic.
“According to the INEGI, in 2021 the economy of Oaxaca grew for 4 consecutive quarters, registering an average growth of 6.8% per year, one of the highest in the entire country. While between 2018 and 2020, we were the third entity with the highest increase in the average quarterly current income per household, registering an increase of 7.1%, while at the national level 22 states registered a contraction in their income”, he highlighted.
For his part, the executive secretary of Coneval, José Nabor Cruz Marcelo, highlighted that “in the same period in which poverty grew at the national level, in Oaxaca a decrease of 6.3% of the population in poverty was achieved, which represented an improvement the living conditions of more than 90 thousand people”.
The success of Oaxaca in the fight against poverty constitutes an interesting case study and an international benchmark for having been possible in a cultural, ethnic, political and geographically complex environment due to its diversity.
It should be noted that the Wilson Center, as this institution is known in the United States, was founded by the Congress of that country in 1968 in memory of President Woodrow Wilson, and today it is considered the main non-partisan political forum in the nation for address global problems through independent research and open dialogue, with the aim of sharing ideas and success stories with the international political community.
Susan W. Parker, professor of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, and the director of the Mexican Institute of the Wilson Center, Andrew Rudman, also participated in this academic event.
