Executive direction and management

ECLAC has continued to act as a catalyst and leader in economic, social and environmental issues of the development agenda, responding to the most urgent needs of the countries in the region, including the volatility of commodity and food prices, the ongoing impact of the economic, financial and sovereign debt crises and in the more general context of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals. The Commission also continued to serve as a regional forum and facilitator in building regional consensus on the region’s greatest challenges through its comprehensive analysis of development processes, support for public-policy formulation and evaluation, and implementation of operational activities, including the provision of technical cooperation and the dissemination of specialized information and training.
