Preface
The main factor that led to the signature, in 1948, of the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS) was a recognized need to address the challenges faced by countries of the Hemisphere in numerous areas, such as peace, democracy, development, and cooperation. Since the Organization’s inception, economic affairs and cooperation among nations have been central to discussions in the region, especially with regard to the importance of development in strengthening democracy. Decades after the signature of the OAS Charter, the current legal framework for the technical cooperation activities of the Organization was defined in the Protocol of Managua, which entered force in 1996, amending that Charter and establishing the Inter-‐American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) as the primary policymaking organ to promote cooperation among the OAS member states for the furtherance of their integral development and, in particular, to help eliminate extreme poverty.
The principles of the Charter were further reinforced at the Third Summit of the Americas, held in
Quebec City, in 2001, where the Heads of State and Government emphasized the development of a consistent, results-‐oriented political, economic, and social agenda that focused on people and social equity. These principles and those of the General Assembly and the Summits process, and the priorities established at the inter-‐American ministerial meetings and in the Strategic Plan for Partnership for Integral Development are being translated into the concrete cooperation activities such as those contained in this Catalog.
In that connection, it warrants mention that while other international organizations and financial
institutions focus mainly on building infrastructure, the OAS targets its efforts at building the human capital of the member states. This is done through capacity-‐building to empower citizens as key participants in the economic and social development of their countries. Similarly, the OAS promotes the importance of strengthening democratic states through cooperative efforts to build institutions so as to foster more effective, efficient, competitive, reliable, transparent, and accountable states.
vii 2011 OAS Cooperation Catalog
Introduction The present OAS Catalog of Cooperation was designed for the purpose of illustrating the extensive
efforts that the OAS Member States -‐ with the support of the OAS General Secretariat and other partners -‐ are implementing to move forward with the agenda of development in various strategic sectors such as: economic development, trade, tourism, human development, education, culture, social development, labor, employment, migration, energy, environmental law and governance, risk management and adaptation to climate change, integrated water resources management.
This OAS 2011 Cooperation Catalog was designed to illustrate the strenuous efforts being made by the
OAS member states -‐ with support from the OAS General Secretariat and other partners -‐ to advance the development agenda in different strategic sectors, such as economic development, trade, tourism, human development, education, culture, social development, labor, employment, migration, energy, environmental law and governance, risk management and adaptation to climate change, and integrated water resources management.
This Cooperation Catalog contains a sampling of what has been done in the period 2008 – 2010 within
the framework of the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development. Another aim of this publication is to provide member states and potential partners with a snapshot of our programs, projects, networks, and activities, and their sources of funding, duration, strategic partnerships, and cooperation mechanisms.
An important point the Secretariat deems worthy of mention and that became evident through this
exercise is that three elements are common to all cooperative activities of all programs, projects, networks, and activities developed, regardless of the topic or area of implementation: capacity-‐building and training; the sharing of best practices and information; and technical support and technical assistance.
Among the benefits afforded by this Catalog to the member states, current partners, potential donors,
and the Secretariat itself is that it makes evident the importance of partnering, and that, through such partnerships, the effects, impacts, and results of cooperation in the Hemisphere can be multiplied.
Disclaimer: The information included in this publication was compiled, organized and structured by the Development Policies Section of the OAS Executive Secretariat for Integral Development. The content of each program, project, network, and activity was provided and verified by the corresponding executing areas.

Acknowledgments
The OAS General Secretariat wishes to acknowledge especially the OAS member states, without which the cooperation activities described in this document would not have been possible. In that regard, the Secretariat also takes this opportunity to extend special thanks to all other stakeholders and partners that have contributed to these programs, including: the permanent observers to the OAS, partner international organizations and institutions, universities, the private sector, civil society organizations, and nongovernmental organizations. We would also like to acknowledge the OAS Executive Secretariat staff for their dedication and tireless efforts to transform the political mandates of the member states into concrete benefits.
