The creation of CONEVAL has its origins in the creation of the General Law of Social Development (LGDS). The Law obliges this institution to coordinate the actions targeted to the achievement of the National Social Development Policy’s objectives, strategies and priorities.[1] CONEVAL is constituted by the head of the Secretariat of Welfare, six academic researchers chosen by the National Social Development Commission, and an executive secretary in charge of the Council. It issues the evaluation guidelines assigned by the Expenditure Budget Decree in order that dependencies and entities regulate their operating social programs.
The Council uses a multidimensional approach to define, identify, and measure poverty using information generated by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).[2] The multidimensional poverty measurement includes the following indicators:
In February 2021 the CONEVAL reported that the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico could increase the number of people living below poverty to 9.8 from 8.9 million and extreme poverty to 10.7 from 6.1 million. [3]
