In May 2014, at the thirty-fifth session of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)  the member States decided  by virtue of resolution 682 (XXXV) to establish the Regional Conference on Social Development in Latin America and the Caribbean as a  subsidiary body of the Commission. The decision was made given the Commission’s  consistent collaboration to assist  inter-institutional coordination among  countries of the region, international organizations and national organisms that promote social development and that carry out projects in that realm. The first meeting of the Conference convened by ECLAC, the Peruvian Ministry of Social Development and Inclusion (MIDIS) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) took place in Lima, Peru from 2 - 4 November 2015.  The meeting was attended by 23 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean and 73 social development authorities (9 Ministers, 7 Vice-ministers and/or Sub-secretaries, 19 Directors and 1 Vice-minister) as well as  Representatives of  several diplomatic missions in Peru, NGOs, research centers, United Nations Agencies, specialized organisms and inter-governmental organisms.
