As the OAS action
arm for development, the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development (SEDI)
works with our member states to help achieve inclusive and sustainable economic,
social and human development.
Our Approach
We do this by
supporting regional policy dialogue on key issues, and by implementing mandates
through technical assistance and development cooperation initiatives. Our work
focuses on building the capacity of institutions and individuals in areas such
as education, employment, competitiveness, innovation, natural resource
management, and the use of information and telecommunication technologies
(ICTs), among others, to generate real and visible impact in our communities.
Development: Integral to the Organization's Pillars
The OAS Charter
lays the
groundwork for
the mutually
reinforcing
aspect of the
work of the
Organization,
reaffirming that
“the elimination
of extreme
poverty is an
essential part
of the promotion
and
consolidation of
representative
democracy and is
the common and
shared
responsibility
of the American
States.”
