Planning for development

The mission of ECLAC in the field of development planning is to contribute to improving the public administration and economic and social planning processes of the region’s national and subnational governments. ECLAC advocates the agenda put forward by its subsidiary body, the Regional Council for Planning (CRP), to strengthen planning in the region. To this end, ECLAC provides the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean with training, professional development and capacity-building services in subjects related to development planning, forecasting, strategic State management and territorial development.
