When Mexico took over the G20 Presidency in December 2011,  expectations were raised for a transcendent summit to the world’s poor. President Felipe Calderon presented a somewhat assertive development agenda that prioritised three key elements: infrastructure, food security and green growth. While the Mexican Presidency emphasised the Group would continue work on the nine pillars of the Multi-Year Action Plan, Mexico would put special political weight on these three issues. The Development Working Group, this time chaired by Mexico, was supposed to deliver recommendations in these three strategic areas, in addition to its commitment to review the several studies commissioned to various international multilateral organizations. It seemed like a good plan; but after the end of Los Cabos Summit and before the conclusion of the Mexican Presidency, results in the three priorities set in the G20 development agenda were not very encouraging.
 

This publication was created to discuss some of the critiques, proposals and views on three raised matters: infrastructure, food security and green growth.
