Abstract

Municipalities play a pivotal role in driving regional and sustainable development within federal entities. This study delves into the current state of 20 municipalities in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, participating in the 2023 Municipal Development Agenda evaluation, in light of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research utilized the instrument developed by the National Institute for Federalism and Municipal Development (INAFED), focusing specifically on the indicators: Drinking water; environmental management and climate change mitigation. These indicators were assessed using a color-coded system (traffic light). The study employed a documentary review of the evaluation minutes of the state government’s municipal development program, complemented by consultations with websites containing relevant information for the 20 evaluated municipalities. The municipalities were categorized based on their size and characteristics into: urban and rural areas. While some progress has been made in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the municipal level, the overall progress is insufficient to claim full compliance with these goals. This highlights the persistent gap between the aspiration of strong, sustainably developed municipalities and the current reality.
