United Mexican States Country Strategic Opportunities Programme 2020–2025

The COSOP goal centres around policy engagement: to support the active economic inclusion of the rural poor through innovative approaches that can be replicated on a larger scale within the framework of national policies, programmes and strategies.

A focus on marginalized groups who are most at risk of being left behind and mainstreaming climate change, gender, youth and nutrition across all envisioned activities will remain a strategic priority for IFAD.

The COSOP goal will be pursued through three strategic objectives:

1. Contribute to improving the food and nutrition security of smallholder producers and indigenous peoples. 
2. Strengthen the impact and sustainability of results of the national programmes prioritized by the Government. 
3. Contribute to strengthening climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in the context of the family farming activities of vulnerable rural populations to build resilience, and support sustainable use of ecosystems. 

The new strategy will also seek to support Mexico's capabilities to be an effective South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) actor in the framework of the Comprehensive Development Plan for Southern Mexico and Central America (PDI), and to link SSTC to subregional policy dialogue, in coordination with other development partners.
