Monitoring and evaluation of recommendations

This chapter monitors and evaluates the progress in the 12 recommendations, divided into three broad areas: human capital and skills, integrated territorial development, and governance and finance. It offers a detailed analysis of the changes already promoted. The State of Morelos has made some progress in all areas. Given the limited time since the Territorial Review of 2017, long-term changes could not be implemented but seem to be underway. It also provides directions for Morelos to continue making progress in the future. Some plans were enacted but are yet to be implemented and the creation of state councils and similar bodies still has to be followed by independent and effective actions. The chapter is complemented by the detailed table in Annex A, which traces progress in each of the 39 sub-recommendations.
