ECLAC
Presentation of the Strategic Plan, 2026–2035

The Conference approved strategic plans for the periods 2005–2015 and 2015–2025 to guide its work as the main body for coordination, cooperation and strengthening with regard to the statistical systems of Latin America and the Caribbean. The plans have helped to identify common structural challenges, establish shared objectives and encourage coordinated action among the countries in order to contribute to the development of statistical capacities in the region. The Strategic Plan, 2026–2035, is a continuation of those efforts, with a renewed vision for the next decade, helping to guide collective action by the national statistical systems of the region in the framework of the Conference.

The new strategic plan offers a non-binding common regional framework, proposing joint lines of action and cooperation mechanisms that can be advanced by the Conference in its role as an intergovernmental forum. It also includes a set of indicators aligned with specific goals for biennial monitoring of progress in the plan’s implementation. Under this agenda item, the Strategic Plan, 2026–2035, of the Statistical Conference of the Americas of Latin America and the Caribbean will be submitted to the Conference for adoption, having already been through a review and comment process at an earlier stage as part of a regional consultation.
