The OAS: a unique actor in development Convening power, but not just a talk shop. Work directly with experts from government and outside it to find solutions that work in specific national contexts, in an atmosphere of multilateral exchange and mutual respect – not to impose. Legitimate executor of outside resources for multilateral work. Ability to bring the results of technical cooperation to attention of key policy makers (in policy dialogue). Focus only on policy-relevant projects in areas identified as high priority by political bodies. Ability to work subregionally, in alliance with partners like CARICOM, CECC-SICA, MERCOSUR, etc.

The Policy Framework SUMMITS OF THE AMERICAS MINISTERIAL MEETINGS ON EDUCATION AND CULTURE EDUCATION AND CULTURE INTER-AMERICAN COMMITTEES ON EDUCATION (CIE) AND CULTURE (CIC) Bidirectional process Concrete examples: 1. IV Inter-American Meeting of Ministers of Culture proposed modifications to Draft Declaration of Commitment of Port of Spain (V Summit of the Americas). The Government of Barbados (CIC Chair) submitted these to the SIRG process on behalf of the Ministers. These were incorporated nearly verbatim into the final Declaration (paragraph 44) 2. The Inter-American Committee on Education (CIE) also proposed substantial modifications to the education text of the draft Declaration of Port of Spain. These were submitted to the SIRG process through the Government of Ecuador (CIE Chair) and largely incorporated into the final version, (paragraphs 36, 37, 38)
