Public and social actions amid COVID-19 involve complex governance challenges –processes through which political and social participants seek to coordinate alternatives and make decisions in a critical or uncertain scenario–. This essay analyzes the Regional Governance and Social Coordination Observatory to contest COVID-19 in Yucatan, Mexico. The Observatory established a local governance model to analyze the experiences in which heterogeneous actors organize and cooperate to address the problems from the pandemic. We aim to demonstrate that this model is capable of examining and characterizing these initiatives, and discuss its potential as a tool to improve local governance processes. Keywords: local governance, social observatory, pandemic, COVID-19, Yucatan.

Collaborative territorial governance experiences play a fundamental role in improving public management to mitigate health and the economic crisis impacts due to COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Interior (SEGOB, in Spanish) of the Mexican federal government implemented the methodology Neighborhoods Networks for Solidarity Support “Redes Vecinales de Apoyo Solidario” (REVES, in Spanish). It is a territorial organization system based on community co-responsibility that aims to improve the satisfaction of basic needs derived from the health and economic emergency caused by COVID-19, and is an example for municipalities throughout Mexico. REDES implies a collaborative territorial governance system. In this article we describe and analyze the actions carried out by seven municipalities that are executing the project. Keywords: territorial and collaborative governance, networks, public management, municipality
协同领土治理经验在改善公共管理以减轻COVID-19大流行造成的健康和经济危机影响方面发挥着重要作用。墨西哥联邦政府内政部(SEGOB,西班牙语)实施了社区团结支持网络“Redes Vecinales de Apoyo Solidario”(REVES,西班牙语)方法。这是一个以社区共同责任为基础的领土组织体系,旨在改善因COVID-19造成的卫生和经济紧急情况而产生的基本需求的满足,是墨西哥各地市政当局的一个范例。REDES意味着一种协作的领土治理系统。在本文中,我们描述和分析了执行该项目的七个城市所采取的行动。关键词:区域协同治理,网络,公共管理,市政
