Brief Description
The joint programme titled 'Agrifood systems transformation in Mexico: towards integral social protection and decent rural employment' aims to strengthen institutional capacities for comprehensive rural development policies that enhance labor formalization access for agricultural day laborers and small to medium-sized producers in Mexico.
The program focuses on transforming agrifood systems in Mexico to enhance social protection and decent rural employment. It strengthens institutional capacities to develop a comprehensive rural development policy, facilitating labor formalization for small and medium-sized agricultural producers and day laborers. Key actions include creating diagnostic tools for agricultural workers, mapping regulatory frameworks, and developing a tailored agricultural-productive model. The initiative directly benefits 2.4 to 3 million agricultural laborers, addressing their vulnerabilities and promoting gender equity. Overall, it significantly contributes to enhancing climate resilience and advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Expected key results
1) a multidimensional diagnosis and characterization of agricultural workers, including expulsion sites, reception sites, gender-disaggregated data, ages, ethnicities, agricultural chains, gaps, and other relevant information to be defined
2) a comprehensive mapping of the existing and past regulatory and programmatic framework for the socioeconomic assistance of agricultural day laborers
3) a comprehensive agricultural-productive development model based on the specificities of the expulsion/reception territories and the value chains linked to agricultural day laborers
4) guidelines for an integrated formalization strategy for small and medium-sized producers as well as agricultural day laborers
