LEAD-Mexico’s program joins and shares El Colegio de Mexico’s academic activities in the following fields: public ad-ministration, international affairs, economics, demographic, urban and environmental studies, Asian and African studies, history, sociology and linguistics and literature, organized in relatively independent centers, which include various pro-grams and seminars (gender, environment (Lead-Mexico), science and technology) and back up service units (computing, library, administration). Nearly three hundred Fa-culty members may be counted among its permanent and temporary (visiting professors and specific Project resear-chers) staff.

The Administrative Unit of El Colegio de Mexico is responsible for the management of all grants that El Colegio receives and operates. Mr. Fernando Ruiz, is in charge of the Finance De-partment and the LEAD-Mexico’s account. A group of highly qualified personalities, including LEAD-Mexico fellows, act under an ad hoc working basis as an Aca-demic Advisory Council for LEAD-Mexico. With their advise, our program benefits from an enormous pool of experts (more than 500) from different sectors, organizations and institutions, who continuously take part as guest speakers, panelists, resource persons, and facilitators in our domestic, regional and international training sessions. Other extra curri-cular activities are often organized following their advise, gui-dance, and suggestions. Our LEAD-Fellows take part conti-nuously in the organization of LEADMexico’s curricular and ex-tra-curricular activities.

c. NSC Meetings

A NSC meeting has been celebrated during this year. A full report of the IS 2008 was presented and discused. The mee-ting was devoted to review LEAD-Mexico’s initiatives and fu-ture strategies as well as evaluate our program’s curricular and other academic activities.

LEAD-NET ACTIVITIES

We have maintained communication with most members of our LEAD-Mexico network trying to gather updated informa-tion of the fellows and associates’ activities. Not all fellows respond to our request for updating their bios and keeping us informed of their activities. From our part they are kept informed of our academic program and invited systemati-cally to curricular and other events and activities (presentations or workshops) on environmental and related issues hosted by COLMEX. We have prepared a detailed list of outstanding LEAD-Fellows to include them in a promo-tional video. An intercohort meeting is being explored to be held next year.

STATISTICS

LEAD-Mexico Program has reached the 213 fellows mark. We still keep a 55% - 45% gender balance, and a geographical distribution living and working in Mexico City´s 56% metro-politan area and 44% in the rest of the country. Fellows and associates work for federal, state and city governments; they actually participate in national and international NGO; work in private sector firms and take part in academic institutions, by teaching and doing research. A few contribute in the me-dia (newspaper, columns, radio and TV). A last count of the Secretary of Environment for the Mexico City Government (Distrito Federal) reported 13 LEAD-Mexico fellows and asso-ciates working there. This number is probably matched by fellows and associates working at the Federal Ministry of En-vironment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). Our fellows and associates are well positioned in the public sector (38%) and in professional and private organizations (21%) as well as in Academic Institutions (26%) and in both national and international NGO operating in Mexico (15%). Their influence at the national, regional and local levels is felt and their opinion looked after.


Our LEAD-Mexico Program keeps its enormous pool of na-tional and internationally recognized experts in different fields (more than 500) still growing. They are continuously invited as guest speakers and resource persons to our do-mestic training sessions and to other extra curricular activi-ties that are organized during the academic year. Among those, our fellows regularly participate in LEAD-Mexico’s pro-gram diverse activities, as can be appreciated if we look at the training sessions programs.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES 2010

Activities programmed for 2010 are focused mainly in main-taining our schedule and capacity development program for Cohort 15, as well as attracting high-profile candidacies for the 2011 program for Cohort 16. We are looking for potential donors to back our program’s curricular and extra curricular future activities. We are trying to consolidate partnerships in order strength our operation as a program dedicated to capacity building in environment and sustainable development focusing in “raising stars” in those areas; to start the formal graduate program in environ-ment and sustainability; and to keep participating as a con-sultant in public policy evaluation, and advisor on implemen-tation and policy formulation. We have worked out an agreement to secure financial sup-port for two of our five weekly seminars for Cohort 15 by SE-MARNAT and INEGI which has in principle agreed to fund some LEAD-Mexico activities and cover associates fees.


LM is consolidating links with PEMEX (the National Oil Com-pany), CNA (National Water Commission), the University of Guadalajara, CONAFOR and a few other organizations and private sector corporations to assure permanent scholarships for associates and the support of LEAD- Mexico activities and keeping approach to potential private donors.
