Each year the OAS Secretary General publishes a proposed Program-Budget for the coming calendar year. The OAS General Assembly meets in a Special Session to approve the Program-Budget. Find these documents from 1998-2013 here.
Each year in April, the OAS Board of External Auditors publishes a report covering the previous calendar year’s financial results. Reports covering 1996-2016 may be found here.
Approximately six weeks after the end of each semester, the OAS publishes a Semiannual Management and Performance Report, which since 2013 includes reporting on programmatic results. The full texts may be found here.
Here you will find data on the Human Resources of the OAS, including its organizational structure, each organizational unit’s staffing, vacant posts, and performance contracts.
The OAS executes a variety of projects funded by donors. Evaluation reports are commissioned by donors. Reports of these evaluations may be found here.
The Inspector General provides the Secretary General with reports on the audits, investigations, and inspections conducted. These reports are made available to the Permanent Council. More information may be found here.
The OAS has discussed for several years the real estate issue, the funding required for maintenance and repairs, as well as the deferred maintenance of its historic buildings. The General Secretariat has provided a series of options for funding it. The most recent document, reflecting the current status of the Strategy, is CP/CAAP-3211/13 rev. 4.
Here you will find information related to the GS/OAS Procurement Operations, including a list of procurement notices for formal bids, links to the performance contract and travel control measure reports, the applicable procurement rules and regulations, and the training and qualifications of its staff.
The OAS Treasurer certifies the financial statements of all funds managed or administered by the GS/OAS. Here you will find the latest general purpose financial reports for the main OAS funds, as well as OAS Quarterly Financial Reports (QFRs).

Here you will find information related to the OAS Strategic Plan 2016-2020, including its design, preparation and approval.
Capacity Building Workshop on Building
Energy Efficiency Measurements Standards and Labeling
The workshop was held October 26- 28, 2015, at the National
Metrology Institute and Standards (NIST) campus in Gaithersburg, MD. More than
27 people from 24 countries representing different government agencies,
particularly from the National Metrology Institutes of the five metrology
regions: ANDIMET, CAMET, CARIMET, NORAMET, SURAMET.
The workshop was delivered during three days focusing on
measurement challenges associated with energy efficiency technologies, including
building energy performance for households and discussions on a variety of
technologies that can be leveraged to improve energy efficiency in SIM member
countries. Additionally, participants had the opportunity to visit Net
Zero Energy Residential Test Facility, which is a net zero energy home that
produces at least as much energy as it consumes over the course of the year. The
laboratory is located at the National Metrology Institute of Standards (NIST).
Based on the finding of the previous regional workshops, NIST and OAS
identified some major areas to provide the training.
GHG Metrology and measurements
Energy Efficiency in buildings
Labeling
Most of the region, specially the Caribbean and Central America have the need
to enhance the quality of the energy efficiency measurements infrastructure.
