By virtue of resolution 670 (XXXIV) of 2012, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean decided to convert the ECLAC Ad Hoc Committee on Population and Development into the Regional Conference on Population and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, and ratified all mandates expressed in Agreement 1 adopted by the Ad Hoc Committee at its last meeting that took place in Quito from 4 to 6 July 2012.

The Ad Hoc Committee on Population and Development was established under the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Plan of Action on Population and Development in accordance with the provisions of  resolution 536 (XXV) of ECLAC. Its main responsibility was to follow up and review all population and development related issues at the regional level. Eventually, it started acquiring additional responsibilities such as following-up the implementation of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing in the region, and looking at the issues related to international migration as well as indigenous peoples and afro-descendants. As a result of the increasing responsibilities, the ordinary sessions of the Ad Hoc Committee in 2010 and 2012 were carried out independently from the thirty-third and thirty-fourth sessions of the Commission respectively.

The Regional Conference on Population and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean assumes all the roles of the Ad Hoc Committee and will act on the basis and in full respect of the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action (ICPD-PoA). The Conference will hold ordinary sessions every two years, while its Presiding Officers will meet at least once between ordinary sessions. The Regional Conference also recognizes the importance of the participation of civil society in its ordinary sessions.
