Abstract :
[en] Objective: to analyze two programs of environmental services payment in the Mexico City Soil Conservation Lands using the policy coherence for development theoretical-methodological framework. Methodology: qualitative analysis based on policy coherence typologies. Results: the programs’ beneficiaries economically depend on the associated subsidies; there are restrictions for the economic activities’ development; the financial mechanisms are inefficient and there is a lack of a sustainability vision that considers the socioeconomic dimensions. Limitations: participation of authorities and community members in this type of study is limited and there is a lack of information on the relationships between institutions and work programs. Value: the analysis of peri-urban public policies through the policy coherence for development framework. Conclusions: applying the policy coherence for development framework helped identifying imbalances and synergies among the policy dimensions analyzed. This methodology can promote the mainstreaming of sustainability norms.
