Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza

What Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza does

Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza is a Mexican civil society initiative, created as an articulation platform by more than 60 organizations and operated through Dinamismo y Estudio Frente a la Pobreza A.C., that conducts evidence-based advocacy, research, and policy proposals targeting structural poverty and inequality in Mexico. Its core analytical asset is the Observatorio de Trabajo Digno (OTD), a research and monitoring platform that surfaces structural violations of the right to dignified work using indicators derived from INEGI's ENOE (National Occupational and Employment Survey) data, producing the recurring Panorama Laboral series with 20-year longitudinal analysis across general, women-focused, and youth-focused editions.

The organization's product portfolio includes the "10 Rutas para un México libre de Pobreza" policy framework covering early childhood, education, dignified work, care systems, social economy, wages, health coverage, social programs, and sustainable production, alongside technical policy proposals such as RESICO-IMSS (a simplified social security registration regime targeting 33 million informal workers). Auxiliary offerings include press releases (Comunicados), infographics (Gráficos), presentations, and video content distributed through a Sala de Prensa, a Wix-hosted website (frentealapobreza.mx), LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, and an email newsletter. Partnerships span COPARMEX, Universidad Iberoamericana, Pacto por la Primera Infancia, Diálogo Nacional por la Paz, INEGI, and Alianza Jóvenes con Trabajo Digno.

The organization is a nonprofit association (A.C.) with no commercial revenue model: it does not sell products or services and operates instead through grant-funded advocacy, research, and policy consultation. Leadership is Rogelio Gómez Hermosillo as Presidente Ejecutivo and Paulina Gutiérrez as Directora Operativa, with a reported headcount of approximately six employees supporting the broader coalition. Geographically, the organization is single-country, headquartered at Pedro Luis Ogazón 56, Guadalupe Inn, Álvaro Obregón, in Ciudad de México, with all operating geographies within Mexico.
