This quarterly report covers the period from April 1 to June 30, 2019, which corresponds to the third quarter (Q3) of fiscal year (FY) 2019. It highlights the achievements and activities of Tasks 1 and 2, which are implemented by Management Systems International (MSI). In Q3, PROJUST closed out direct support to most target justice institutions, solidifying gains through the formal transfer of key project tools, guides and resources, and facilitating a series of high-level forums and events to concretize local networks and set a clear path ahead for criminal justice reform. Full details and context of progress and outcomes are provided in the body of this report, with key highlights summarized blow. PROJUST and the Rapid Results Institute (RRI) launched a new phase of support this quarter to sustain the gains of local systems initiatives, keep momentum going and support frontline teams and local leaders following up on their commitments to scale the impact of successful innovations. The consolidation of the Three-Level Case Prioritization model was a priority under support to Attorneys General Offices in new cities, with further emphasis on strengthening communication and collaboration via peer-to-peer learning networks between project- supported Crime Analysis and Specialized Investigation and Prosecution Units. Support to State Courts focused on bolstering the sustainability of project efforts through national forums and transferring key PROJUST models, methodologies and tools to the National Commission of Superior Justice Tribunals (CONATRIB), a key ally for scaling the impact of project resources nationwide. Five years of support to Pre-Trial Services (PTS) Units culminated this quarter in a National PTS Forum on April 11-12. PROJUST brought together over fifty participants representing 27 PTS Units to disseminate key tools developed, consolidated and refined between PROJUST and target units over the course of the project. In addition to the participation of 27 PTS unit directors, attendees also included three directors from units dedicated to adolescents, representatives from the National Executive Secretariat of Public Security, and civil society members, with over 800 other viewers logged in remotely to the live-streamed event. The highlight of support for Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Units within target justice institutions this quarter was a two-day event held on May 7 and 8, in Cuernavaca, Morelos, where PROJUST convened participating operators representing each of the project- supported units for an engaging and participatory forum on “Evidence-Based Continuous Improvement.” Participants from both M&E Units and seven CSOs came together for expert panels, roundtable discussions, and exchanges of best practices and experiences in using data for evidence-based decision making within criminal justice institutions for the purpose of continuous improvement. 4 | USAID/MEXICO PROMOTING JUSTICE PROJECT USAID.GOV QUARTERLY REPORT, JANUARY – MARCH 2019 PROJUST worked with a broad spectrum of CSOs, academics, universities and representatives from the private sector1 to finalize the “legislative map” initiative to sustain national reform efforts and shape strategic operational laws by generating a systemic vision of criminal justice and identifying pending modifications necessary for optimum functioning. Finally, PROJUST debuted its documentary titled “Self-Defense?” which tells the story of an emblematic case of public defense supported by the project that highlights the use of a gender lens to achieve the acquittal of a domestic violence victim wrongly accused of her partner’s death. This case was the first acquittal in Mexico of homicide charges against a female defendant on the basis of self-defense. 1 Organizations involved in this effort include: The Confederation of Employers of the Mexican Republic (COPARMEX), Autonomous Institute of Technology of Mexico (ITAM), Center for Economic Research (CIDE), and the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s (UNAM) Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas as well as CSOs Borde Politico, Foundation for Due Legal Process (DPLF), Foundation for Justice and Democratic Rule of Law (FJEDD), Mexico Evalua, Research Center FUNDAR, Mexican Institute for Human Rights and Democracy (IMDHD), Causa en Comun, and Mexicans United Against Crime. 5 | USAID/MEXICO PROMOTING JUSTICE PROJECT USAID.GOV QUARTERLY REPORT, JANUARY – MARCH 2019 ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION AND COVERAGE In its third quarter, the Promoting Justice Project (PROJUST) successfully carried out 117 activities across 10 states, as well as national level activities. The bulk of the activities (83 or 70%) benefited Group 1 states and over half (70%) focused on promoting the legitimacy of the criminal justice system (Task 1). See the below reference map (Figure 1) of target states and refer to Annex 1 for a full breakdown of activities per Task. Figure 1: Geographic coverage in Q3-FY 2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND OVERALL STATUS In Quarter 3 (Q3), PROJUST focused on winding down all direct technical support in target state justice institutions, while solidifying project-supported networks at both the state and national levels for future sustainability. Several high-profile forums served to bring key stakeholders from not only the justice sector, but also civil society, the private sector and academia, together to lay out clear, shared visions for the future. Finally, a number of key project resources and tools were finalized and distributed among all target states and institutions. This section of the report will detail the specific support provided to impact these and other key result areas in Q3 of FY2019. 6 | USAID/MEXICO PROMOTING JUSTICE PROJECT USAID.GOV QUARTERLY REPORT, JANUARY – MARCH 2019 IMPLEMENTED A LOCAL SYSTEMS APPROACH FOR GREATER IMPACT PROJUST and the Rapid Results Institute (RRI) launched a new phase of support this quarter to sustain the gains, keep momentum going and support frontline teams and local leaders following up on their commitments to scale the impact of successful innovations. Sustaining Results Follow-up sessions with local leaders and frontline teams occurred in four states (Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila and Zacatecas) to review progress since their recent 100DCs and solidify new ways of working that began during the challenges. Several teams continued to employ the Rapid Results methodology and reported that case resolutions continue to be more efficient. While PROJUST is in the process of confirming data on case Participants at the first follow-up session for the resolutions since the 100DCs, results self-reported by some sustainability of local systems initiatives in Tijuana, Baja California on April 4, 2019. teams for their advances

  • Initial Determinants of Mexican Mass Migration
    Initial Determinants of Mexican Mass Migration David Escamilla-Guerrero [email protected] London School of Economics November 8, 2018 Abstract The paper addresses the determinants of the Mexican-US migration flow in its begin- nings (1884-1910). Exploiting an original data set based on individual border crossings from 1906 to 1908, I present for the first time, the spatial distribution of the flow at the local level. The micro data reveal that Mexican and American historiography misrepresented the composition of the flow regarding the immigrant’s locations of birth and last residence. Contrary to previous literature, most immigrants came from the border states rather than from the central plateau of Mexico. In addition, internal migration was not the main mechanism to cross the border since 60 percent of the flow was characterized by direct emigration to the United States. The quantitative assessment reveals that market potentials and Mexican immigrant networks in the US were the main pull factors rather than the US-Mexico wage gap. On the other hand, differences in living standards across Mexico were the main push factor. Despite their importance for the Mexican economy, railways had a limited effect on the migration flow during the Age of Mass Migration. Keywords: labor migration, railways, institutions, Mexico JEL Classification Numbers: N36, N76, F22, J61 Acknowledgments: I am especially grateful to my PhD supervisors Eric Schneider and Joan Rosés for their guidance and invaluable comments. I thank Chris Minns, Zachary Ward, Neil Cummins, Alfonso Cabreros-Zurita, León Fernández-Bujanda and Mattia Bertazzini for their extensive feedback; and Daniela Gutiérrez and Marco Villeda for their assistance on the data transcription.

One of the keys to position the country as a global trade leader over the coming decade is the development of an international logistics capability that joins production, cost, quality and customer service to provide an integrated supply chain, indispensable to new business and trade practices. Mexico has positioned itself as an attractive location for productive investment, something that has favored the recent increase in advanced manufacturing industries based in the country, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical and food processing, among others. That has further encouraged investment in multi- modal transport corridors comprising inland ports, industrial parks and free trade zones in order to develop Mexico as a logistics platform and link it to world markets. In most recent years, Mexico prepared a very ambitious infrastructure program in history, building and modernizing a 133,000 kilometer network of highways, 76 airports (64 with international flights), and 27,000 kilometers of railroad and 117 maritime ports – of which 68 are containers ports.
