Les pays en développement ont de plus en plus recours à des politiques et des plans nationaux stratégiques, dont l'efficacité dépendra de l'évaluation correcte de la vulnérabilité de ce pays au changement climatique. Ce rapport se fonde sur les pratiques de suivi et d'évaluation qui émergent des pays développés et en développement, et identifie quatre outils que les pays peuvent utiliser dans leurs propres cadres d'évaluation: 1) l'évaluation des risques et vulnérabilités liés au changement climatique, 2) des indicateurs pour suivre les progrès réalisés quant aux priorités d'adaptation, 3) l’évaluation de projets ou programmes, permettant de recenser les approches d'adaptation les plus efficaces, et 4) des audits nationaux et suivi des dépenses liées au climat.
La combinaison appropriée d'outils pour suivre et évaluer l'adaptation nationale au changement climatique sera dans une large mesure déterminée par la disponibilité des données, la capacité de suivi et d'évaluation, et la capacité donnée d’un pays à réunir les producteurs et les utilisateurs d'informations climatiques pertinentes. Le rapport examine également comment les apporteurs de coopération pour le développement peuvent soutenir les pays partenaires dans leurs efforts pour suivre et évaluer l'adaptation.

Ten years after the introduction of publically-funded universal health insurance, the Mexican health system finds itself at a critical juncture. Unquestionably, some measures of health and health system performance have improved: those previously uninsured now use health services more often, whilst numbers reporting impoverishing health expenditure having fallen from 3.3% to 0.8%. Other indicators, however, remain worrying. Rates of survival after heart attack or stroke are markedly worse than in other OECD countries. Prevention is a particular concern: with 32% of the adult population obese, Mexico ranks as the second most obese nation in the OECD and almost 1 in 6 adults are diabetic. Other key metrics imply deep-rooted inefficiencies in the system: administrative costs, at 8.9% of total health spending, are the highest in the OECD and have not reduced over the past decade. Likewise, out-of-pocket spending has stuck at nearly 50% of total health spending - the highest in the OECD - and implies that individuals feel the need to visit private clinic despite having health insurance. In short, Mexico’s massive public investment in its health system has failed to translate into better health and health system performance to the extent wished and a programme of continued, extensive reform is needed. This report sets out the OECD’s recommendations on the steps Mexico should take to achieve this.

PEMEX, una de las compañías petroleras más grandes del mundo con 150.000 empleados y un presupuesto anual en 2015 de alrededor de MXN 570 mil millones, es también el mayor comprador de bienes y servicios en el sector público mexicano. En 2013, una reforma abrió el sector energético a la competencia y al mismo tiempo mantuvo la propiedad de los hidrocarburos de México bajo control estatal. Luego de esta reforma, PEMEX está sujeto a nuevas reglas de adquisiciones que apuntan a hacer que los procesos de adquisiciones sean más eficientes y efectivos. La OCDE analizó el nuevo régimen y procedimientos de adquisiciones de PEMEX. El informe resultante presenta las principales conclusiones y ofrece recomendaciones para promover la competencia y luchar contra la manipulación de licitaciones de acuerdo con las mejores prácticas internacionales.
