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).

Every year the GS/OAS publishes the annual operating plans for all areas of the Organization, used to aid in the formulation of the annual budget and as a way to provide follow-up on institutional mandates.

Here you will find information related to the OAS Strategic Plan 2016-2020, including its design, preparation and approval.

The Inter-American Convention on Transparency in Conventional Weapons Acquisitions (CITAAC) is a binding multilateral agreement to promote transparency and openness regarding the acquisitions of conventional weapons. Adopted in 1999, it came into force in 2002. It has been ratified by 17 OAS Member States and signed by 4 OAS Member States. Through CITAAC, governments have committed to providing annual reports on their arms imports, exports, and national production. The exchange of this information can build trust and confidence in the region, and assist in the early identification and prevention of risks by excessive or destabilizing accumulations.

The Conference of the States Parties to the CITAAC is its highest political body, bringing together the high authorities of the States Parties to examine the operation and application of the convention. At the Conference, the States Parties determine the priorities to achieve compliance with the convention through the approval of Declarations, and Recommendations. In this II Conference, States Parties will take an important step to strengthen the Convention by analyzing documents to institutionalize the Consultative Committee and the Technical Secretariat as effective follow-up mechanisms to implement its dispositions.
