ECLAC will exhibit 25 programmes awarded for their innovation, community participation and low costs, developed to overcome poverty and inequality in the region.
Academics and experts write on these and other development and public policy issues in the region, with case studies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
The Executive Secretary of ECLAC, Alicia Bárcena, stressed that the countercyclical policies adopted by countries in the bloc helped mitigate the social costs of the crisis.
