Work Plan of the CIM

The mandates of the CIM are derived from:

  • Its Statute and other legal instruments
  • The Inter-American Program for the Promotion of Women's Human Rights and Gender Equity and Equality (IAP)
  • Declarations and resolutions of the CIM Assembly of Delegates (Link)
  • Resolutions of the General Assembly of the OAS (Link)
  • Declarations and action plans of the Summits of the Americas (Link)

The IAP has helped gradually to include the gender equality agenda in the activities of both the Member States of the OAS and its General Secretariat.

Nevertheless, various shortcomings are still preventing effective planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of that agenda, for lack of operational targets, strategies, and management mechanisms and tools for keeping track of actions being undertaken both at the OAS.

At the institutional level, there have been major shortfalls in the allocation of human and financial resources to track implementation and monitoring of the IAP in the OAS budget. In this context, in February 2010, the Executive Committee of the CIM deemed it necessary to update the IAP and enhance its applicability with the help of a CIM Strategic Plan:
