Border Environment Cooperation Commission
The Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC) headquartered in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, is a binational organization created in 1994 by the Federal Governments of the United States of America and Mexico under a side-agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). BECC along with its sister-institution the North American Development Bank (NADB), established by the same agreement and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, USA, are charged with helping to improve the environmental conditions of the Mexico–United States border region in order to advance the well-being of residents in both nations. The scope of their mandate and the specific functions of each institution are defined in the agreement between the two governments (the “Charter”), as amended in August 2004.
==Institutional functions==
Both institutions fulfill an essential role in effectively applying binational policies and programs that support the sustainable development of environmental infrastructure on both sides of the US-Mexico border. BECC works in close coordination with NADB and other border stakeholders including federal, state, and local agencies, the private-sector and civil society to identify, develop, certify and implement environmental infrastructure projects in five key sectors: ''Water, Wastewater, Waste Management, Air Quality, as well as Clean and Efficient Energy''. BECC focuses on the technical, environmental, and social aspects of project development, while NADB concentrates on project financing and oversight for project implementation. Both entities offer various types of technical assistance to support the development and long-term sustainability of these projects.
The Charter also establishes a single, ten-member Board of Directors to govern the two institutions. The binational Board has three representatives from each government, a representative of a border state from each country, and a representative of the general public who resides in the border region from each country. The chairmanship alternates between the U.S. and Mexico each year.
