  • The Consorcio por la Medición y la Evidencia brings together EQUIDE, México Evalúa, México ¿Cómo Vamos?, CEEY, IMCO and Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza.
  • The consortium will conduct an independent analysis of the ENIGH 2024 findings to assess household income trends and multidimensional poverty.
