Analyse et recommandations en vue de l’institutionnalisation budgétaire de la Politique nationale de protection et de promotion sociales en Haïti
Get PDFCe document analyse le processus budgétaire haïtien en mettant en évidence certains problèmes majeurs liés à la mise en œuvre des politiques sociales. Il aborde les enjeux clés de l’institutionnalisation budgétaire de la Politique nationale de promotion et de protection sociales (PNPPS) à la lumière des dimensions fondamentales des cadres institutionnels telles que définies par la CEPALC, afin de formuler des recommandations reposant sur quatre piliers essentiels et interconnectés : un cadre juridico-réglementaire solide, une organisation institutionnelle cohérente, des capacités techniques et de gestion renforcées et un financement durable intégré au budget national. Le rôle central du MAST, grâce à des outils comme le SIMAST, y est souligné en tant que levier essentiel au ciblage, à la coordination et à la mise en œuvre des interventions sociales. Ainsi, ce document a pour but de sensibiliser les autorités gouvernementales et les autres partenaires à la nécessité de budgétiser la PNPPS, tout en servant de guide stratégique pour mieux articuler les politiques sociales, en fondant leur action sur des bases solides, inclusives et durables.Introduction .-- I.

Get PDFThe Forum of Ministers and High-level Authorities of Housing and Urban Development of Latin America and the Caribbean (MINURVI) is the region’s main intergovernmental coordinating body in the areas of housing, human settlements, and sustainable urban development. Its General Assemblies serve as key platforms for political dialogue, the exchange of experiences, and the development of a shared vision among member countries, in collaboration with international organizations, development banks, academia, and civil society.
The XXXIII General Assembly of MINURVI was held on December 12 and 13, 2024 in the city of Belém do Pará, Brazil, under the pro tempore presidency of Brazil’s Ministry of Cities, led by Minister Jader Barbalho Filho, with the technical support of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN Habitat) in theirrole as co-technical secretariat. During this meeting, ministers, national authorities and experts from across the region addressed the strategic role of housing and urban development as engines to advance social inclusion, climate action and territorial resilience.
The debates highlighted the need for adequate and up-to-date information for decision-making on housing policies, as well as the specific challenges of urban development in environmentally sensitive contexts such as the Amazon. The importance of guaranteeing the right to the city as a fundamental principle of the New Urban Agenda was highlighted, addressing the need to build more equitable, accessible and participatory cities. Likewise, the role of housing in the response to climate change, both in adaptation and mitigation, was underlined. Urban renewal and circular economy strategies were also discussed to promote a more efficient use of land and buildings, new financing schemes and more innovative and sustainable urban management.
Access to adequate and sustained financing was identified as a central enabler for advancing transformative projects that integrate environmental sustainability, social justice, and economic development. Throughout the meeting, countries shared concrete experiences and public policy initiatives reflecting their commitment to more inclusive, productive, and resilient urbanization.
The Assembly culminated in the adoption of the Belém Declaration, which includes the main agreements and commitments undertaken by the countries of the region centered around a common agenda regarding housing and urban development. In addition, the new MINURVI Executive Committee was elected, with Barbados assuming the presidency for 2025.Summary .-- I. Welcome and opening remarks .-- II.

Cold chain logistics: the case of Paraguay and territories along the bioceanic corridor
Get PDFThis report analyzes the current state of cold chain logistics in Paraguay, with a specific focus on the departments of Alto Paraguay and Boquerón, two key regions located along the Bioceanic Corridor. The study maps the structure and capacity of the cold chain infrastructure, including refrigerated transport fleets, storage facilities, airport and port infrastructure, as well as the national vaccine distribution system. It also identifies logistical bottlenecks and infrastructure gaps that affect the efficient storage and distribution of temperature-sensitive products.
The findings highlight that Paraguay has a functional baseline infrastructure for cold chain logistics, although its cold storage and transportation capacity is largely concentrated in the central region. Additionally, public ports currently lack refrigerated storage, and airports offer only minimal infrastructure for short-term handling. Nevertheless, the cold chain is not perceived as a constraint to the current production levels of refrigerated and frozen products. Similarly, it does not appear to pose an obstacle to potential increases or the development of new products in any region of the country.
Lastly, the report presents a set of public policy recommendations and investment priorities to strengthen Paraguay’s cold chain. These include expanding infrastructure in underserved regions, developing credit lines for cold chain projects, designating a specific institution for licensing refrigerated chambers, centralizing existing records into a unified database, and offering specialized training courses for the cold chain. Closing the existing gaps could reduce post-harvest losses, enhance the resilience of the health system, and strengthen Paraguay as a competitive logistics hub in the Southern Cone.Abstract .-- Introduction .-- I.

Public policies for the cold chain in the bioceanic corridor .-- IV. Conclusions, challenges and proposals

United States-Latin America and the Caribbean Trade Developments: trade patterns and opportunities in the Caribbean
Get PDFThis special issue of United States-Latin America and the Caribbean Trade Developments provides an overview of trade relations between the United States and the Caribbean for the period 2021–2024. It presents an analysis of trends in goods and services trade; key sectors and partner economies; and an assessment of the degree of trade concentration. The findings show that although overall trade volumes recovered and expanded after the pandemic, the Caribbean’s share of total United States trade remained below 1%, highlighting the region’s limited but gradually increasing engagement with that country. Goods trade remains heavily concentrated in the energy and transport sectors regarding both imports and exports, with the United States exporting refined fuels and transport equipment while importing crude oil and related products. In contrast, the United States continues to run deficits in services trade with the Caribbean, driven primarily by travel and transport. Overall, the analysis underscores the structural concentration of current trade patterns while pointing to opportunities for diversification and greater regional integration
United States-Latin America and the Caribbean Trade Developments 2025
Get PDFIn 2024, Latin America and the Caribbean accounted for 19.2% of total United States trade, similar to the level recorded in 2023. The region’s share of total United States trade in goods, 23.2%, surpassed pre-pandemic levels. The region, driven by Mexico, remained a net exporter of goods to the United States: imports by that country from Latin America and the Caribbean rose by 7.4% to US 517 billion, widening the United States goods trade deficit with the region to US 135 billion and imports totalling US 39.5 billion. United States-Latin America and the Caribbean Trade Developments 2025 includes a review of these trends in goods and services trade amid broader global developments, such as the strategic competition between the United States and China, a defining feature of the global trade landscape. The report also presents an analysis of emerging opportunities linked to the circular economy, critical minerals and green technology value chains, which are redefining competitiveness and creating new avenues for productive integration across the region
