Decentralised agency of the Mexican federal government
The
Instituto Nacional para el Federalismo y el Desarrollo Municipal
(
National Institute for Federalism and Municipal Development
, better known by the acronym
INAFED
) is a decentralised agency of the
Mexican
federal government. It has responsibility for promoting the ideals of
federalism
between the several levels of
government in Mexico
, by acting to coordinate and implement policies, programmes and services that are designed to strengthen inter-governmental relations between the federal and "subsidiary" levels of governance at the
state
and
municipal
levels.
The agency comes under the overall responsibility of the
Secretaria de Gobernacion
(SEGOB), the Secretariat of the Interior, the government department responsible for administering the country's internal affairs.
INAFED was established in July 2002, replacing and expanding upon the role of its predecessor agency, the
Centro Nacional de Desarrollo Municipal
or CEDEMUN (National Centre for Municipal Development).
