future cities: the strand aims to support urban development in Mexico’s cities that results in safer, resilient and more sustainable mobility services for citizens, particularly for women and girls
-
financial services: the strand is to deliver a more inclusive and competitive financial services sector, accessible to all segments of Mexican society and new market entrants
-
anti-corruption and rule of law: the strand will contribute to consolidating anti-corruption and justice systems by strengthening capabilities for detecting and investigating serious crime and corruption cases. It also aims to improve coordination between the main actors working in those processes
