OAS to Host Seminar on the Role of the Private Sector in Supporting Democracy
April 15, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS) will hold a seminar this Monday, April 18, 2011, in Washington, DC, on the role of the private sector and other actors in supporting democracy, co-organized with the Working Group on Poverty, Development and Democracy of the Community of Democracies.
The Secretary General of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, will offer opening remarks in the event, alongside Vanda Guiomar Pignato, El Salvador’s First Lady and the country’s Secretary of Social Inclusion; the Alternate Executive Director for the Caribbean of the Inter-American Development Bank, Richard Bernal; and the Vice President of the Council of the Americas, Eric Farnsworth, among others. United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will speak in a prerecorded message.
The event, titled, “Corporate Democracy Seminar: The Role of the Private Sector and Other Actors in Supporting Democracy,” will bring together leaders and authorities from the region to address the opportunities for partnership between governments, private corporations and civil society for advancing democratic principles and practices in the Americas. It will feature two plenary sessions: “Ten years of the Inter-American Democratic Charter: Good governance and its impact on business and economic development,” and “Governments, businesses, and civil society: Partnership for Strengthening Democracy.”
The event’s inauguration is scheduled to take place at 9:00 EDT (13:00 GMT) on Monday in the Hall of the Americas inside OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
The outcomes of this initiative will contribute to the development of a permanent Corporate Democracy Forum in the framework of the Community of Democracies, which will provide the private sector a voice along with governments and civil society in shaping debate and policy. The recommendations that result from the seminar will additionally serve as input to the OAS Member States and General Secretariat in the framework of the 10th Anniversary of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
