Development Key to Building Strong Nations says OAS Assistant Secretary General
November 28, 2012
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, has stressed the value of partnerships between the public and private sector in the Americas, which he says, have facilitated significant development initiatives in OAS Member States.
Speaking at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) and at a gala dinner commemorating the 50th anniversary of the foundation, Ramdin said "development is one of the pillars on which the OAS stands. It is without a doubt, a priority for a significant number of countries in this hemisphere."
Assistant Secretary General Ramdin stressed that development is the cornerstone of strong nations, and the absence of sustainable development has the potential to destabilize democracy. “Without development, meaningful opportunities for economic prosperity would be limited. Without true development, there can be no real security and without development initiatives to reach all members of society, we can never guarantee true democracy. For me, development is at the core of any measure of success.”
Describing the work of the PADF as invaluable, the OAS Assistant Secretary General said its ability to source support from the private sector for the development goals of many states has been significant and has resulted in tangible improvements to the quality of life for millions of citizens.
Assistant Secretary General Ramdin also acknowledged the work of the private sector across the Americas in supporting concrete development initiatives. "We've seen solid examples of contributions and support from the private sector in countries like Haiti and Colombia. It gives real meaning to corporate social responsibility. I think there is an understanding that the private sector cannot truly succeed without certain development needs being met," added Ramdin.
The Pan American Development Foundation is a partner of the Organization of American States, which was established in 1962 to implement socio economic development programs and disaster assistance in Latin America and the Caribbean.
