OECD Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Programme

Launched at the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting in 2016 in response to growing demand from countries in the region, the OECD Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Programme (LACRP) provides a unique platform for evidence-based policy dialogue, bringing countries in the region closer to OECD standards, best practices and policy networks. In 2026, the Programme celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of strengthened co-operation between the OECD and Latin America and the Caribbean. Over this period, the LACRP has helped deepen the OECD’s partnership with the region by fostering high-level dialogue, supporting policy reforms, promoting peer learning, and creating opportunities for collaboration among governments, international organisations, the private sector and civil society. Through its work across productivity, social inclusion, governance and institutions, and environmental sustainability, the Programme has contributed to a more strategic, connected and impactful OECD-LAC relationship.
