International Conference on "Efficient Local Development Strategies: Exchange of Experiences between Latin America and the OECD"
This conference is jointly organised by the OECD LEED Programme and the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), a full member of LEED. This event aims at facilitating a platform to discuss the importance of efficiency and effectiveness of public policies as means to local economic development and social inclusion. This will be an opportunity for representatives of cities and regions from OECD and Latin American countries to share their experience in defining, implementing and delivering policies within an economic development strategy, based on the experience of the city of Bogotá, Colombia, and cities in other Latin American and OECD countries.
Moreover, the event seeks to complement and reinforce the activities of the OECD LEED Programme and the CAF to spread a culture of exchange and evaluation of local development initiatives in the Latin American region. This event will also provide an opportunity to share the Colombian experience and to identify methods and approaches from different OECD regions that could be adopted in Latin America.
