Mexico Programme - Energy Services

The objective of the Strand is to support Mexico's efforts to increase productivity and reduce poverty by addressing key market failures in the energy sector. The Strand has been designed to primarily support UN Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 7 (decent work and economic growth and affordable and clean energy) as well as UN Sustainable Development goals 5 and 9 (achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls and industry, innovation and infrastructure). 2.2 The Strand aims to support the consolidation of a solid and stable energy market that drives economic growth as well as increase access to energy services through lower electricity prices and creating formal employment opportunities to reduce poverty levels. The Strand aims to do this by matching UK capabilities with the identified market failures through capacity building and sharing best practice within the workforce, businesses and regulatory institutions.
