After Coneval disappears, a monitoring consortium is created.

A group of think tanks, civil society organizations, and academic entities announced the formation of the Consortium for Measurement and Evidence, to monitor poverty measurement and the evaluation of social policy in Mexico following the dissolution of the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (Coneval).

The consortium is comprised of the EQUIDE Institute for Research on Equitable Development at the Ibero-American University, Mexico Evalúa, Mexico: How Are We Doing?, the Espinosa Yglesias Study Center, and the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness and Citizen Action Against Poverty.

The organizations that comprise it stated in a press conference that they are convinced that measuring poverty and evaluating social policy have a direct impact on Mexico's development, prosperity, and economic growth.

As a Consortium, they will independently analyze the results of the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey ( ENIGH ) , as they have done for years, with the goal of thoroughly understanding the economic and social dynamics of Mexican households, as well as the evolution of deprivation and multidimensional poverty in the country.

Each organization will conduct its own analyses as an exercise in complementarity and citizen and academic monitoring, with the intention of providing additional input to public debate and the formulation of social policy.
