Transnational Civil Organizations.
Since 2006 MIDE-ac has collaborated with the National Social Development Institute to encourage participation in Mexican community development by organizations in Mexico and organizations of Mexican immigrants in the United States.
In 2007, the first meeting was held between a leader of INDESOL and the leaders of the Council of Mexican Federations in North America (COFEM) to identify opportunities for collaboration. This meeting highlighted the ability of Mexican immigrants to organize themselves in non-profit organizations, and also drew attention to the possibilities of growth in social networks, involving the organizational experience of civil societies in Mexico and the United States.
In 2010, with the support of INDESOL, a meeting was held with immigrant leaders from Morelos, Durango, Guanajuato, and Zacatecas to hold the workshop “Exchange of Experiences between Immigrant Leaders and Representatives of the Community of Axochiapan, Morelos”.
The former project also permitted the visit of immigrant leaders to become acquainted with INDESOL, in addition to display the activities of these Mexican civil organizations in the United States. During this visit, leaders of MIDE-ac were able to demonstrate their experience working to engage immigrant organizations, as well as the 6 projects in which they had received the support of INDESOL.
Following the meeting in December of 2010, in February of 2011 another meeting was held between immigrant leaders and officials of SEDESOL, governance, public function, foreign affairs, the International Agency for Migrations, INDESOL, and MIDE-ac. In this meeting everyone worked on points of interest for the immigrants and the possibility of offering a specific proposition through the Program for Social Investment in 2012 to promote the organization and impact of transnational development.
