The objectives of creating more secretariats is to achieve “National Technological Sovereignty” and a “Social Connectivity Policy.” It also seeks to generate tools that allow the simplification and digitalization of procedures and services, and use technology to improve justice and security.
In addition, it seeks to strengthen national capacities in humanistic and scientific research, and the search for solutions to national challenges in health, energy, water, food, human security, housing, education and culture.
Another relevant goal is the empowerment of women in the Federal Public Administration and, according to the initiative, it is also intended to avoid duplication of functions of the secretariats and save money to dedicate to social programs.
Another commitment by Sheinbaum is to create a National Digital Identity “that is the key to access in an agile, transparent and secure manner the digital channels of citizen service of the government of Mexico.”
