The National Centre for Strategic Planning (Ceplan) and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) today will conclude the territorial development workshops held within the framework of the Country Programme activities.
OECD concepts and tools are introduced at the workshops in order to identify the countries’ level of development through the (transectorial and multilevel) territorial focus.
The "Territorial Reviews" diagnose the territorial development of countries, and include recommendations aimed at ensuring better governance that facilitates the implementation of policies to promote sustainable development.
The workshops will bring together various experts including Raffaele Trapasso, regional economist at the Rural and Regional Development Unit within the OECD’s Regional Development Policy Division.
Other attendees include the representative of the OECD Directorate for Public Governance and Territorial Development, Eric Gonnard, and the Unit Head of Special Projects at Statistics Canada, Alessandro Alasia.
In 2014, the OECD established Country Programmes as a new instrument for supporting dynamic, emerging economies in designing their reforms and strengthening public policies.
Peru is the first country to join this new OECD instrument.
The program includes the development of a series of documents, through which the OECD will assess the current situation of Peru, focusing on the areas of greatest interest in the pursuit of sustainable development.
