OAS and Colombia Sign Host Country Agreement for Second Ministerial Meeting on Social Development
May 20, 2010
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of the Republic of Colombia today signed the host country agreement for the holding of the Second Meeting of Ministers and High Authorities on Social Development to take place July 8 and 9, 2010, in Cali, Colombia.
The principal subject of the second ministerial meeting will be the Inter-American Social Protection Network, launched in New York City in September 2009, seeking to become a key instrument of hemispheric cooperation. Furthermore, the meeting will serve to discuss the strengthening of social protection systems through single registry systems of beneficiaries, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and fiscal sustainability; partnerships between the public sector and non-governmental organizations, academia, the private sector and community organizations to effectively confront extreme poverty, inequality and vulnerability; and the social policy response to the effects of the financial crisis in the Americas and the Caribbean.
OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza recalled the important role that Colombia plays in the area of social development and its participation in the first ministerial meeting. “I believe these have been very important years,” he said. “We have very much fine tuned our agenda on the subject of development.”
For his part, the Permanent Representative of Colombia to the OAS, Ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos Aristizábal, highlighted the significance of the meeting in the regional context. “We wish to point out that in addition to the joint work being conducted among all the authorities of the continent, this meeting has helped to create and boost the Inter-American Social Protection Network, the results of which will be revealed at this meeting.”
The agreement between the OAS and Colombia as host country defines each party’s responsibilities for the event’s coordination. The ceremony for the signing of the text was held in the Office of the Secretary General at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
The ministerial meeting on social development is held every two years. The First Meeting of Ministers and High Authorities on Social Development took place in Reñaca, Chile, in 2008.
