Technical Cooperation Section.

The role of the Technical Cooperation Section is to effectively position the OAS Executive Secretariat for Integral Development (OAS-SEDI) as an enabler and broker of optimized partnerships and development assistance, in order to provide more targeted technical cooperation initiatives in the Americas.

This includes moving towards an alliance model that offers Member States options for securing development assistance that is responsive to their specific capacity building needs, thus reinforcing national efforts to lead and manage their own socio-economic development, while facilitating the regional attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)..
