Get PDFThe Care Society: Governance, Political Economy and Social Dialogue for a Transformation with Gender Equality
Get PDFBuilding the care society is a vital transformation for substantive equality, sustainable development and peace. This paradigm prioritizes the sustainability of life and of the planet, and recognizes care as a need, a right, a public good and as crucial work to boost the economy. It also establishes a synergistic interdependence among people, the environment, and economic and social development.
Governments now have a prime opportunity to drive this transformation and address a growing care crisis —exacerbated by population ageing and climate change effects— that far surpasses existing capacities of services, infrastructure and people to provide care.
This document examines scenarios for achieving the care society and proposes how to effect this change, with assessments and recommendations that underscore governance, political economy and social dialogue, along with cultural change, measurement and financing, as key elements to bring about vital transformations for sustainable development with gender equality.Foreword .-- Introduction .-- Chapter I.

Sostenibilidad financiera, equidad y eficiencia de la inversión educativa como requisitos habilitantes para la transformación educativa en América Latina y el Caribe 2025
No full textRetomando compromisos internacionales y regionales previos, en enero de 2024 se aprobó la Declaración de Santiago en la Reunión Extraordinaria de Ministras y Ministros de Educación de América Latina y el Caribe (UNESCO Santiago, 2024). En esta, se encargó al Comité Directivo Regional del ODS4 el establecimiento de un Grupo de Trabajo ad-hoc para que elaborara una propuesta preliminar sobre financiamiento inclusivo y eficaz con el fin de complementar el Marco de Referencia Regional sobre políticas públicas de reactivación, recuperación y transformación educativa. Este Grupo de Trabajo está formado por la CEPAL, UNESCO, UNICEF, Banco Mundial, BID, CAF, CLADE y el IIPE UNESCO. El presente documento forma parte del trabajo realizado por este grupo y tiene un doble objetivo: servir como insumo para construir un puente de diálogo entre los ministerios de educación y los ministerios de finanzas de los distintos países de la región; y promover que el financiamiento educativo no retroceda, proponiendo caminos para avanzar hacia la sostenibilidad financiera equitativa y eficiente, en línea con lo indicado en el cuarto eje del Marco para la Transformación Educativa en América Latina y el Caribe
Enhancing data for development: policy imperatives for tracking the implementation of the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean. Policy Brief
Get PDFFor small island developing States (SIDS), sustainable development is a delicate balance of pursuing economic growth, social development and environmental stewardship in the context of economic volatility, social challenges, climate change threats and global uncertainties while striving to build resilience. Recognized as a special case for development since the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, SIDS remain highly vulnerable to external shocks due to their small economies, limited connectivity and reliance on external markets. Over the years, global frameworks such as the Barbados Programme of Action (1994), the Mauritius Strategy for Implementation (2005) and the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway (2014–2024) have helped shape SIDS development priorities. However, traditional challenges remain, including those related to climate change, sea level rise and unsustainable levels of public debt, while new threats, such as pandemics and a new regime of protectionism in international trade and migration, continue to shape the development of SIDS.
Building on past efforts to promote sustainable development in SIDS, the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for Small Island Developing States (ABAS) was adopted at the fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States in May 2024 by the Heads of State and Government and high-level representatives of the United Nations Member States. This ten-year plan (2024–2034) prioritizes economic resilience, social wellbeing and equity, environmental sustainability and access to financing, while aligning with global frameworks such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (United Nations, 2024). A core component of the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda is the call to establish a systematic monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework, which builds on the Samoa Pathway’s monitoring system and aligns with SDG targets and indicators. This framework envisages biennial regional reviews and progress reports to support policymaking and strengthening of implementation accountability.For small island developing States (SIDS), sustainable development is a delicate balance of pursuing economic growth, social development and environmental stewardship in the context of economic volatility, social challenges, climate change threats and global uncertainties while striving to build resilience.

For the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda M&E framework to serve its intended purposes, investment in statistical infrastructure, stronger institutional coordination and harmonized reporting frameworks will be essential. These investments will enhance the statistical capacity of member States to collect, process and report data on the progress in the implementation of the Agenda, thereby providing critical information to governments and stakeholders on the effectiveness of policy, finance and capacity building initiatives being implemented towards achieving the Agenda’s outcomes. Therefore, given the state of data in the subregion, Caribbean SIDS must engage in early action to address data gaps that could delay implementation and undermine the desired outcome of the Agenda

Get PDFThis article analyses whether real exchange rate volatility and institutional quality, combined as conditioning variables of the productive specialization of economies, can have a negative impact on a country’s ability to achieve greater economic sophistication, especially in countries with a commodity-dominated and natural resource-based export basket. The methodology used consists of panel cointegration estimation (pooled mean group) using data from 1995 to 2018 for a sample of 54 countries. The results indicate that real exchange rate volatility is indeed an obstacle to the implementation of structural measures aimed at diversification and sophistication of a country’s productive fabric, while the quality of its institutions has a positive effect on its economic complexity and increases the possibilities for developing local capabilities
