School of Governance

The OAS School of Governance (OAS SoG) is a flagship initiative of the OAS General Secretariat that offers training aimed at strengthening practices of institutional transparency, citizen participation and promoting accountability to citizens. We train public officials, political, social and community leaders who work with the government and civil society.

The OAS School of Governance’s activities are supported by several OAS General Assembly mandates such as: OAS Charter (articles 31, 38, 45, 47 and 51), the OAS Inter-American Democratic Charter (articles 2 and 4) and OAS/GA Resolution 2894 XLVI-O / 16 (item viii, line 2), among others.

Trainings

We offer a broad portfolio of technical training and leadership development programs focusing on Democracy, Human Rights, Multidimensional Security and Integral Development. We empower citizens, we strengthen communities.

Research
