No full textGuidelines for care policies from a gender, territorial and intersectional perspective
Get PDFLatin America and the Caribbean is immersed in a care crisis that is having a disproportionate impact on women and especially those subject to various forms of intersectional exclusion. This crisis is reflected in increasing demand for care services that is linked to many different interrelated factors, such as the rapid ageing of the population, changes in the labour market, the effects of climate change, migration flows that alter the dynamics of care in places of origin and destination, and insufficient care services and infrastructure. Hence the urgent need to work on designing and strengthening care policies to serve as a cornerstone for more inclusive and sustainable development in the region.
This document outlines the rationale for implementing care policies with a territorial approach, examines the extent to which, and the ways in which, care policies are implemented in politically, socially, economically and culturally heterogeneous territories in the region, looks at the challenges involved in implementing these policies and sets out guidelines for designing and implementing care policies at the territorial level

Responding to sargassum influxes through integrative and adaptive natural resource management approaches in Caribbean SIDS: an exploratory framework
Get PDFCaribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face significant environmental, economic, and social challenges due to the impacts of the massive influxes of Sargassum seaweed (henceforth, "Sargassum"). Conventional reactive interventions have demonstrated limited efficacy in addressing the recurrent proliferation of Sargassum blooms. These impacts are attributable to the immense scale and volumetric magnitude of these events, alongside their considerable spatiotemporal variabilities across the Caribbean sub-region. Furthermore, the absence of robust, harmonized management frameworks across affected jurisdictions exacerbates these challenges. Governmental bodies, development partners, and other stakeholders are seeking sustainable management strategies to address the persistent annual recurrences of these blooms.
This study examines and proposes an exploratory framework based on the principles of integrative and adaptive natural resources management (IANRM) and its application to Sargassum management. The framework integrates diverse management strategies, considers interconnected environmental, social, and economic factors in stakeholder engagements, and promotes adaptive learning. Adopting an IANRM approach enables a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive resilience, potentially transforming Sargassum from a challenge to a valuable resource while safeguarding coastal ecosystems and livelihoods. The study provides recommendations for future research on implementing an IANRM approach to promote sustainable Sargassum management in the SIDS region.Abstract .-- Introduction .-- I.

Latin American Economic Outlook 2025: Promoting and Financing Production Transformation
Get PDFThe 18th edition of the Latin American Economic Outlook presents policy options for a greener, more inclusive regional production structure and examines financing mechanisms to support this transformation. It highlights the need for development strategies that promote formal job creation and strengthen local capacities and strategic sectors, while aligning production structures with global standards and demands.
The report’s recommendations focus on improved implementation of productive development policies; innovative financial instruments; a renewed role for development finance institutions; and revitalised international partnerships to mobilise resources and support capacity building. Together, these priorities can drive the region’s transition towards resilient, knowledge‑intensive production systems that underpin inclusive and sustainable growth
