COVID-19: Moving Towards Recovery, Resilience, and Sustainability in Mexico
MEXICO CITY – Four years after the declaration of the health emergency, and with greater availability of data, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) presented the document
COVID-19: Moving towards recovery, resilience and sustainability in Mexico,
which analyzes the multidimensional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico and explores different scenarios for recovery. The aim is to contribute to sustainable development by generating evidence for decision-making.
The study was based on the Inference of Policy Priorities (PPI) model, integrating elements of behavioral economics, complexity science, artificial intelligence, network science, and data science.
Key Insights: The study contains significant findings and public policy recommendations aimed at restoring pre-pandemic development levels from a comprehensive perspective.
Lorenzo Jiménez de Luis, UNDP’s resident representative in Mexico, stated that the study analyzes how different budget profiles lead to varied progress in achieving development goals.
Almudena Fernández, UNDP’s chief economist for Latin America and the Caribbean, emphasized two essential priorities: supporting governments promptly in crisis response and generating real-time evidence for decision-making.

Impacto de la Pandemia en los ODS en México
El Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) en México presentó un estudio que destaca que, antes de la pandemia de Covid-19, el 71.28% de los indicadores de los ODS mostraban una tendencia positiva (67 de 94 indicadores). Sin embargo, el progreso no ha sido equitativo en todas las dimensiones del desarrollo.
Análisis de Indicadores
El estudio revela que 29.9% de los indicadores que mantuvieron una tendencia positiva experimentaron continuidades, mientras que 31.3% mostraron una disminución en su tendencia positiva y 38.8% presentaron una tendencia negativa.
El informe menciona que de los 27 indicadores que mostraron una tendencia negativa antes de la pandemia, 16 (60%) empeoraron.
Recomendaciones del PNUD
Para abordar estos desafíos, el PNUD propone las siguientes recomendaciones:
- Incorporar evidencia en los asuntos públicos mediante la inclusión de metas más factibles y la implementación de intervenciones más efectivas y eficientes.
- Reevaluar el perfil de las asignaciones presupuestarias que surgieron tras la pandemia, ya que no son adecuadas para cerrar las brechas en indicadores críticos.

Analyzing Inequalities: Gender, Ethnic Identity, and Socioeconomic Conditions Reducing Inequalities: A Comprehensive Analysis
Understanding Disproportionate Impacts
It is essential to analyze the disproportionate impacts linked to gender, ethnic identity, age, occupational, and socioeconomic conditions of individuals. This understanding is critical for adapting the design of policies and programs aimed at reducing inequalities.
Collaboration for Effective Solutions
Collaborative efforts involving local communities, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations play a vital role in addressing these disparities. By working together, stakeholders can develop targeted strategies that effectively address specific inequalities.

The recent report from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), titled ”COVID-19: Moving Towards Recovery, Resilience, and Sustainability in Mexico,” analyzes the multifaceted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Mexico and offers strategies for recovery as the world adjusts four years after the health emergency declaration. This document emphasizes the necessity for data-driven decision-making to support sustainable development in the aftermath of the pandemic.Key Insights and Recommendations
- Impact Analysis: The study employs the Inference of Policy Priorities (PPI) model, which incorporates insights from various fields such as behavioral economics and data science. This allows for a holistic approach in understanding the pandemic’s effects on different sectors and demographics in Mexico.
- Public Policy Recommendations: The UNDP report includes essential insights aimed at restoring pre-pandemic standards of development. It especially emphasizes the need for timely government support during crises and the generation of real-time evidence to inform policy decisions.
- Statistical Trends: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 71.28% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators in Mexico were on a positive trajectory. Post-pandemic analysis reveals that while some indicators remained stable, a significant portion showed a decline:
– 29.9% of positive indicators maintained their trend,
– 31.3% saw a decrease in their positive trajectory,
– 38.8% exhibited a negative trend.
Notably, 60% of the 27 indicators that had a negative trend worsened [1[1[1[1].
- Strategic Recommendations: The report outlines strategies to address identified challenges:
- Incorporate concrete evidence into public affairs by establishing more feasible goals and implementing more effective interventions.
- Reevaluate budgetary allocations post-pandemic to better address critical gaps in development indicators [2[2[2[2].
Conclusion
The UNDP’s extensive analysis stresses the importance of adapting recovery strategies that are not only responsive to the immediate effects of the pandemic but also align with long-term sustainable development goals. This holistic framework aims to improve resilience against future crises, ultimately guiding Mexico towards a more sustainable and equitable path of development [3[3[3[3].
