Bárcena participated this Thursday in a seminar entitled Next step…
Para apoyar los esfuerzos nacionales en el financiamiento del desarrollo es hora de superar definitivamente la dicotomía donante-receptor y el criterio de ingreso per cápita en la asignación de ayuda oficial al desarrollo (AOD) y avanzar hacia un nuevo modelo que dé cuenta, por ejemplo, de las necesidades de los países de renta media, categoría en la que se encuentra el 85% de los países latinoamericanos y caribeños, planteó hoy en Bruselas Alicia Bárcena, Secretaria Ejecutiva de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL).

This bulletin examines the interrelations that exist between logistics and natural resources and addresses different theoretical approaches for analysing global natural resource production chains and networks. Many of the methodologies analysed focus either on the resources or on the stages of international trade and omit the importance of logistics infrastructure, which is the logical and physical thread that connects the different links in the network. Not only do properly coordinated logistics allow flows of materials to be mobilized in an appropriate, timely, safe way and at a competitive …

Furthermore, it can be seen that the amount of investment as a proportion of GD…
