The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) will hold its 32nd session in Santo Domingo from 9-13 June. The session will open on Monday, 9 June at 6pm at the Santo Domingo Hilton Hotel with President Leonel Fernandez and executive secretary Jose Luis Machinea leading the ceremony.
The session, which guides the work of this United Nations regional commission, brings together ECLAC's 44 member States and eight associate members, who meet every two years to discuss issues related to the region's economic, social and environmental development, examine the activities carried out by ECLAC in the preceding two-year period, and set the priorities of its work program for the following two years. Delegations from over 50 countries and special guests are expected to attend.
The work document that ECLAC will submit for discussion at this year's meeting is Structural Change and Productivity Growth, 20 Years Later: Old problems, new opportunities. In it, ECLAC proposes a medium and long-term strategy to strengthen development in Latin America and the Caribbean through productive diversification, innovation and public and private sector alliances.
