		ECLAC’s region has now entered an intense preparation process for the special session of the General Assembly on "Women 2000: Gender Equality, Development and Peace for the Twenty-first Century", and the Eighth Session of the Regional Conference on Women, to be held in Lima, Peru on 8-10 February 2000.
		ECLAC, in its capacity as the technical Secretariat of the Regional conference, is consistently working to strengthen the capacity of governments to implement regional and world agreements that deal with gender equity and the advancement of women.
		ECLAC convened the first of a series of inter-agency meetings aimed at convening a regional technical and ministerial meeting to discuss the status of the POA in the Caribbean.

		The ECLAC approach was advanced and widely accepted throughout the Western Hemisphere as an alternative to both the liberal export-led growth model and the previous single-country ISI approach.
		Despite their common adherence to the ECLAC model of intraregional free trade within a protectionist framework, the various Latin American trading blocs differed from each other in the size and economic structure of their member states, their intermediate goals, their institutions, their cohesiveness, and their relationships to the global economy.
		In response to protests from ECLAC and the government of Nicaragua, the United States and the parties to the Tripartite Treaty agreed to negotiate a compromise integration treaty to supersede all prior free-trade agreements.

		ECLAC's "Yachting In The Eastern Caribbean: A Regional Overview" notes that these recommendations would still be applicable to many, if not all, of the countries in the region.

	Monitoring The UN
		ECLAC is comprised of 41 regional states with full membership status (Canada has been a full member in good standing since inception in 1948) and 7 associate members.
		As a result, ECLAC is recognized today as the foremost authority on economic and developmental research and analysis in the region.
		Typically all ECLAC sponsored projects and studies have as their goal the identification of problems and areas of opportunity as well as the identification and fostering of best practices in areas of economic/social development and environmental protection.

		Latin America's economies are expected to decline by 0.8 percent this year, according to a new forecast released by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
		The forecast contrasts with ECLAC's previous forecast of GDP growth of 0.2 percent.
		ECLAC now says the 2002 decline shows "half a lost decade" and a decline of 2 percent of GDP per capita compared with 1997.

	RRojas Databank: The Róbinson Rojas Archive.-Changing production patterns with social equity. Latin America.- ECLAC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It would have been a mistake for ECLAC to sally forth solely in defense of its past theoretical work; nor would it have been appropriate for it to engage in a heated controversy regarding the current paradigm while seeking to champion some sort of "anti-paradigm".
		And perhaps because ECLAC is an institution whose purpose is to serve the Governments of the region, a concern for public policy and the role of the State is another constant on our agenda as we seek out synergies in the interaction between public and private agents.
		In sum, today, as yesterday, ECLAC --the Secretariat and its member Governments— continues to serve as an institution devoted to the analysis of Latin American and Caribbean development issues and to the economies's adaptation to emerging circumstances both inside and outside the region.

	Democracy as a precondition for integrated development
		The central idea of the ECLAC development conception for Latin America is the simultaneity of technical progress, social development and democracy on the way to integration into the world market.
		ECLAC assumes that a modernisation strategy which intends competitiveness on a high level of technical progress and on increasing productivity requires a minimum of social equity and political participation.
		ECLAC recognizes the problematic relation between these two sectors of its development conception: The aim of integration into the world market requires the improvement of the production patterns which comprises professional politics.

	U.N. Hails Growth in Latin American, Caribbean Exports
		ECLAC said the "rapid rhythm" of trade growth in 2003 was maintained by high demand in the United States, Europe and Asia, particularly China, for the region's products.
		The biggest boost for Central America and the Caribbean, ECLAC said, was the recovery in the price of sugar, while Belize, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago all saw growth of more than 20 percent in their mining and oil sectors.
		ECLAC said Chile secured a "major advance" with its recently implemented free-trade agreement with the United States.

	ECLAC
		Director of ECLAC's Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean Dr. Len Ishmael described the meeting as a "historic moment - the first regional conference on the yachting sector in the Eastern Caribbean." The project was Len Ishmael's brainchild.
		In her opening address on December 12, Dr. Ishmael noted that while ECLAC was "convinced of the sterling contribution being made" by the yachting sector, there was little concrete data available to support this conviction.
		Therefore the first of the three main objectives of the project was to provide the data, information and analysis that would allow for better future understanding and monitoring of one of the least understood subsectors of the tourism industry.

	Latin America: Reforms neither huge success nor flop, says ECLAC
		The results, as well as the conditions in which the nine countries began to throw open their markets and reduce the role of the state in economic activity, were diverse, Stallings told the seventh Congress of Latin American Economists, which ran Monday through Friday in Rio de Janeiro.
		The decline in employment was sharper in terms of quality than quantity, due to a boom in precarious jobs in the informal sector, and the subsequent widening of the gap between the wages earned by skilled and unskilled workers, she added.
		Based on its study, ECLAC mainly recommended policies to curb the volatility of short-term capital and help ward off crises by managing and foreseeing the cyclical movements of the economy.

	U.N. Agency Presents Mixed Economic Outlook for Latin America, Caribbean
		ECLAC also said that living conditions in most countries should stay about the same, except in Venezuela, where poverty could rise significantly, and in Argentina, where it is likely that reactivated economic growth should reduce poverty rates.
		ECLAC released the figures in its new report, called "Social Panorama of Latin America 2002-2003." ECLAC defines a household as poor when its income just meets the minimum required to cover basic consumption needs.
		ECLAC forecast that only nine of the 24 countries studied in the report will meet the goal of cutting poverty in half by 2015.

		In addition to this project ECLAC, in cooperation with UNIFEM and the National Council for Women's Rights of Brazil, is organizing a high-level panel on globalization, trade liberalization and gender equity, to take place in São Paulo in November of this year.
		Looking ahead, ECLAC will continue to analyse the globalization process as a basis for the development of policy proposals designed to make the most of opportunities while reducing the vulnerabilities of countries in the region.
		ECLAC is pleased to place all the experience it has gained through the implementation of these activities —and, indeed, the entire range of its institutional endowment as it relates to the assessment of the labour and social dimensions of globalization in the Americas— at the service of the ministries of labour of the region.

	ECLAC forecasts 2% growth for Latin America in 2001
		According to the ECLAC report, Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean 2000-2001, the region will feel the effects of the slowdown in world growth this year, due to slower growth in the United States, Europe, developing countries in Asia, and troubles in Japan's economy.
		According to the ECLAC report, the decline in regional growth is particularly frustrating, given that conditions at the start of the year suggested that the region's economies were starting a new growth cycle after the 1999 recession.
		ECLAC estimates that half the region's countries will post larger public sector deficits.

		Should these forecasts prove accurate, ECLAC said, this would make four straight years of economic growth while achieving a total rise in per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of about 10 percent for 2003-2006.
		ECLAC said the region has been reaping the benefits of a worldwide "external environment" marked by global growth in GDP, an expansion of international trade, higher commodity prices, and low interest rates.
		For 2005, Argentina is leading regional growth with a 7.3 percent increase over 2004, followed by Venezuela with 7 percent, Uruguay with 6.2 percent, Chile with 6 percent, Peru with 5.5 percent, and Panama with 4.5 percent, said ECLAC in its report called Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean, 2004-2005.

		One of the serious mistakes of the last quarter of the twentieth century was the promotion of a ¿single solution¿ in development strategies, based on the principle of full market liberalization.
		The ECLAC proposal for national strategies is noteworthy in that it does not only cover macroeconomic prescriptions.
		Presented in 2002, the ECLAC report is largely based on the experiences of South America, although much of the thinking has been gaining ground outside this region.

		In this respect ECLAC efforts to develop a methodology for compiling a SVI are welcomed, and it has the potential to complement the work we at CDB are doing.
		Compilation of a SVI forces one to think systematically about the factors that contribute to the risks and vulnerabilities that impact the lives and livelihood of individuals, household, communities and countries and how these can be prevented, mitigated and overcome.
		We would like this relationship to continue, and even be formalized in a MOU between the two institutions, because we believe the relationship has served us well, and we value the work that is being done by Mrs.

		ECLAC is the origin, as far as I know, of the "structuralist" school, which still has many adherents in the US, most notably Lance Taylor at the New School for Social Research.
		Lately, ECLAC has evolved into some king of "pro-market" (center right, if you will) institution trying to maintain its social focus though.
