CIATalk -- Blog
"The CIAT Blog is a space for opinion on matters of tax
policy and tax administration that the CIAT Executive
Secretariat facilitates for members of MyCiat Community.
Without the formality or strict requirements of the articles
published on specialized reviews, CIAT Talks constitutes a
new opportunity for members of the tax administration
community to express their opinion, assertions and spur
exchanges.
The Blog enables a forum for the ongoing concerns of those
who are always devising new ways of accomplishing things; or
who wish to comment, with pride and satisfaction, on a new
successful experience. It grants the opportunity of
disseminating the bases for an econometric model; defending
the virtues or pointing out the defects of a tax reform, or
a new procedure, or a new technological application.
Overall, it is our space for our own expression."
Economic Development Division -- ECLAC
The main objective of the Economic Development Division (EDD)
is the promotion of long-term, equitable growth in the
economies of Latin America and the Caribbean. This mission
is instrumented through three strategies: a systematic
monitoring of macroeconomic policies and reforms; an
evaluation of their impact in terms of sustainability,
effectiveness and equity; and a substantive support for the
formulation and implementation of these policies and reforms
by the governments. To achieve this goal, the EDD works
together with other departments and agencies of the United
Nations System, other Divisions of the ECLAC, the regional
offices of ECLAC in Mexico City and Port of Spain, and the
national offices in Bogota, Brasilia, Buenos Aires,
Montevideo and Washington.
Instituto Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Planificación
Económica y Social -- CEPAL
ILPES is a permanent institution with its own identity and is
part of ECLAC. It was set up at the end of the 1960s for the
purpose of supporting the Governments of the region in the
area of planning and public administration, through the
provision of training, advisory and research services. The
substantive profile of ILPES is currently focused on public
administration, with three main priorities (research areas).
LatamEconomy.org -- OECD
LatAmEconomy.org is the latest evolution of the annual Latin
American Economic Outlook report, essentially bringing its
trusted, high quality content into the digital age. Its wide
country coverage and methods of analysis are essential for
anyone seeking to understand the economic, social and
political developments of Latin American countries.
Panorama de la Gestión Pública -- CEPAL
As momentum of the fruitful initiative between the ILPES and
the World Bank for the Project LACMIC + + Program, ILPES
presents "Overview of Public Management" with a database
associated to the "Public Sector Indicators System for Latin
America and the Caribbean" (SISPALC).
This database, besides containing statistics (and their
respective "metadata"), aims to be a tool to support some
specialist networks that have been created in the region
(Redeplan, Red SNIP and the Public Management Network).
Direct technical assistance in countries, countless training
workshops and materials developed in recent years allowed us
to prepare this overview of the Public Sector and
Development Planning, which we hope will contribute to the
discussion on the role of the State in our economies and
societies, and to the building of shared visions in the
countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.
