In 2009, DAI formalized its corporate presence in Mexico by opening DAI Mexico, a Mexican-registered firm based in Mexico City. Throughout the 2000s, DAI helped Mexico develop an effective microfinance sector that now provides sustainable financial services to underserved urban and rural markets. In doing so, we helped both lenders and borrowers manage risk and contribute to local economic growth, and built the capacity of key Mexican government agencies to support the industry.

Building on these collaborations, DAI Mexico will design and manage projects in Mexico, initially focusing on microfinance and enterprise development but also exploring technical sectors where DAI has excelled globally for years: developing rural tourism and forestry resources, expanding irrigation and technical assistance in agriculture, promoting biodiversity, investing in clean rural energy, expanding sustainable fisheries, improving value chains, and tackling global warming.

DAI Mexico will also serve as a focal point for our development work in Latin America and the Caribbean, a region where we have a proud work history: helping Haitians to recover livelihoods destroyed by hurricanes, assisting Venezuelans to calm social tensions and sustain democratic institutions, supporting business development in Colombia’s small cities, spearheading watershed conservation in El Salvador, and promoting licit agriculture as an alternative to the coca economy in Bolivia, to cite just a few examples.

Since DAI’s founding in 1970, DAI’s employee owners have combined technical excellence with cultural knowledge and sensitivity to design and implement smart, sustainable development programs. DAI Mexico draws on this heritage to make real and lasting improvements in the lives of people in Mexico and the region.
