In 2002, the federal government began a program for clubs of Mexican migrants. The clubs chose the localities and the projects in their home regions. The federal government, the state, the municipality and the club then paid for each project together.
The finance ministry of Oaxaca describes the rule: “Por cada peso que aportan los migrantes, los gobiernos Federal, Estatal y Municipal ponen 3 pesos” (For each peso the migrants contribute, the federal, state and municipal governments put in 3 pesos).
The program became known as the Programa 3×1 para Migrantes, three for one for migrants. It received no funds for 2020, and the federal budget structure dropped it that year.
