Performance evaluation of the Mexico low emissions development (MLED) program : final report

2014English"This is the report of a mid-term evaluation of the Mexico Low Emissions Development (MLED) Program that was carried out in March 2014 by a three-person evaluation team. The original program was awarded to Tetra Tech in September 2011. MLED is a three-year program with a two-year option period and is funded by the Mexico Mission of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The MLED Program is intended to address Mexico?s contribution to global climate change (GCC) and global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by assisting federal and state governments, businesses, and other stakeholders in establishing the key enabling conditions and tools needed to participate in emerging international GHG management frameworks and helping them to meet obligations under the Copenhagen Accord." | Evaluated project title: Mexico low emissions development (MLED) Renewable energy resourcesCODE: 523; Mexico

Abstract

The Mexico low emissions development (MLED) program is intended to address Mexico’s contribution to global climate change (GCC) and global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by assisting federal and state governments, businesses, and other stakeholders in establishing the key enabling conditions and tools needed to participate in emerging international GHG management frameworks and helping them to meet obligations under the Copenhagen Accord. Tasks evaluated were: (1) low emissions development strategy; (2) strengthening of GHG measurement, reporting, and verification; (3) implementing clean energy projects; and (4) MLED management and GCC coordination. The evaluation team believes that the project has been highly successful so far, and will offer substantial added benefits if continued for an additional two years. (Excerpt, modified)
