Fundación IDEA was founded in 2005; it was one of the first publicy policy think tanks in Mexico. It is a non-profit, independent organization, whose mission is to design and promote innovative public policies which generate equal opportunities for Mexicans, as well as for people of other countries. We aim at doing so by promoting sustainable economic development and poverty reduction, through the generation of information and policy proposals based on rigorous data analysis and investigation. We aim at being an independent, trustable source of data, information and analysis for government and the public in general.
