OAS Concludes Subregional Workshop in Ecuador for Cooperation Effectiveness
February 25, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS) held a Subregional Workshop for Cooperation Effectiveness, in its South American Chapter, on February 23 and 24, in Quito, Ecuador, that sought to contribute to promoting the subregional point of view to make South American participation more efficient in international forums where issues of international cooperation are discussed.
The meeting was framed within the regional agenda for cooperation effectiveness, focused on promoting dialogue in Latin America and the Caribbean with the goal of formulating suggestions and promoting a more active and coordinated role as a subregion for the Fourth High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, to be held in Busan, South Korea, between November 29 and December 1st, 2011.
This regional space brought together representatives of International Cooperation Agencies and Institutions from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela and Brazil, as observers, and with the participation of Guatemala and Barbados as guests.
Participants in the South American chapter recognize the divergence of positions on the subject of cooperation effectiveness, but agree on the existence of common points on which to work on and build a regional position that reflects the importance of a new structure of cooperation governance, in which middle income countries can have greater participation and input in the global decisions that currently guide the agenda on cooperation effectiveness.
Ambassador Alfonso Quiñónez, OAS Secretary for External Relations, highlighted that the hemispheric Organization wishes to facilitate the process for Latin America and the Caribbean on the road to Busan. Nevertheless, he added, the countries of the hemisphere need to appropriate the process to ensure that the points of view of the region are effectively communicated in Busan’s High-Level Forum.
As a result of the working groups in Quito, the importance was underlined for cooperators to incorporate the principles of cooperation effectiveness, from the work they conduct with local governments, and to align and strengthen the national systems and the spaces for dialogue and coordination promoted by the governments.
