The opening session will take place at 2:30 p.m. local time in Chile (GMT -4) on Tuesday, June 28. It will feature the presence of Diana Miloslavich, Minister of Women and Vulnerable Populations of Peru, in her capacity as Chair of the Presiding Officers of the Regional Conference on Population and Development; Harold Robinson, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA); and Raúl García-Buchaca, ECLAC’s Deputy Executive Secretary for Management and Programme Analysis.
During the event, ECLAC will present a document that analyzes the pandemic’s sociodemographic impacts in the region and includes policy recommendations for a transformative recovery with equality.
