The Commission's presence in Brazil dates from October 1952, when it signed a partnership agreement with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) to create a Joint Study Group. The ECLAC-BNDES Economic Development Centre, regarded as the first formal representation of ECLAC in Brazil, was established in September 1960 in Rio de Janeiro. In the late 1960s, BNDES withdrew from the programme and, in 1968, the ECLAC-ILPES Regional Office was set up, also in Rio de Janeiro. The office was relocated to Brasilia in 1978 following an agreement between ECLAC, the Government of Braz…

In recent years, ECLAC has focused on analysing the role of education in social inclusion, by monitoring gaps, progress and challenges, and looking in particular at levels of schooling (primary and secondary).
One of the main challenges facing the region is continuing to improve …
The Social Development Division’s work on food and nutrition security is underpinned, first, by the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, which enshrines food as a fundamental right and calls upon States to ensure food and nutrition security and, second, by the need to address major inequalities in access to food despite its availability in the region, which severely curtail fulfilment of the right to food and prejudice the nutritional status of the population.
