The Organization of American States (OAS) signed an agreement with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that seeks to strengthen international cooperation in eradicating poverty and promoting political, economic and social development in the hemisphere.
OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza
underscored the benefits that can be achieved by strengthening relations with other international institutions in order to work toward common goals. Insulza noted the importance of the framework agreement with the UNDP and said it “should enable us to undertake intense efforts at a singular moment in Latin America,” referring to the significant poverty levels that still exist in the region.
The agreement will lay the groundwork for both organizations to advance programs, projects and cooperation activities for development. This marks the first time that the two international entities commit to work together to face the problems of the region, implementing projects in support of institutional strengthening in the member states.
During a brief ceremony in the OAS Secretary General’s office, the UNDP Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, Rebeca Grynspan, said this commitment will pave the way for the organizations to develop several concrete activities, with the shared priority of serving the region.
The UNDP representative noted that “what is important is to provide a unified voice in the understanding of this Latin America,” adding that the region “will probably benefit more from our agreement than from separate actions carried out by the institutions that serve it.”
