All the event’s panels will be transmitted live via several platforms.

On October 2-3, 2025, the Twentieth Meeting of the Regional Council for Planning of the Latin American and Caribbean Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES) will take place in Brasilia, organized by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the Government of Brazil, through the National Secretariat for Planning of the Ministry of Planning and Budget.

The conference will open on Thursday, October 2 at 9:00 in Brasilia (GMT-3), bringing together ministers, deputy ministers and other senior authorities from the region’s countries, along with representatives of civil society and United Nations organizations, to discuss a document entitled Foundations for a planning and public management agenda for sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean.

At this intergovernmental meeting, José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, ECLAC’s Executive Secretary, will present the document Technical, operational, political and prospective (TOPP) capabilities for managing transformations: underpinnings of a new paradigm. This text fleshes out the concept of TOPP capabilities and their importance, not only for designing public policies but also for implementing them effectively, sustaining them over time, and adapting them to changing environments.

Prior to the start of official activities, on Wednesday, October 1, a Session on foresight, anticipatory governance and a Pact for a Productive, Sustainable and Inclusive Future will be held. This session will present the state of the art in these areas, at a global level and in Latin America and the Caribbean, putting special emphasis on the Brazil 2050 Strategy.
