OAS to Host Sub-regional Workshop for Cooperation Effectiveness in Bridgetown, Barbados
September 17, 2010
The Organization of American States (OAS), as the technical secretariat of the Inter-American Cooperation Network (CooperaNet), announces the first of a series of sub-regional workshops on cooperation effectiveness in Latin America and the Caribbean. The first workshop, entitled “Cooperation Effectiveness: the Caribbean Chapter,” will be co-hosted by the Government of Barbados and will be held in Bridgetown, Barbados, from September 21 to 22, 2010.
This workshop is part of the OAS’s agenda for cooperation effectiveness in Latin America and the Caribbean and is designed to inform national authorities of trends and key issues in international discussions on cooperation effectiveness and engage them in an exchange of ideas as well as strengthening South-South cooperation. The workshop will conclude with an open dialogue on efficient cooperation in the Caribbean to strengthen the voice of the Americas in international forums.
The event will take place thanks to the support of the South-South Task Team and the Government of Canada, through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and in collaboration with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the World Bank Institute, the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System, the United Nations Development Programme, the Pan American Development Foundation and the Inter-American Development Bank.
Over the next months, the OAS intends to anchor the regional process in Latin America and the Caribbean through sub-regional meetings in Barbados, Guatemala and Ecuador. These workshops will provide a space for policy makers and practitioners from the Caribbean, Central America and South America to improve cooperation effectiveness, strengthen South-South knowledge exchange and promote a more active and better coordinated regional role in international cooperation forums, particularly in preparation for the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness to be held in Seoul, Korea in 2011.
