Programmes and projects financed with extrabudgetary resources form an essential part of the ECLAC programme of work. They supplement the activities financed with regular resources, which alone are insufficient for carrying out all mandates, particularly those of an operational nature.
Thanks to the substantive and financial support of a variety of cooperation entities (governments, United Nations agencies, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, foundations and non-governmental organizations, among others), ECLAC is able to enhance its response capacity in the form of cooperation s…

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…
A presença da CEPAL no Brasil teve início com um acordo de colaboração entre a CEPAL e o BNDES, em outubro de 1952, quando foi criado o Grupo Misto de Estudos CEPAL/BNDES. Em setembro de 1960 foi instalado o Centro de Desenvolvimento Econômico CEPAL/BNDES no Rio de Janeiro, considerado a primeira representação formal da CEPAL no Brasil. Na segunda metade da década de 60 houve desvinculação do programa ao BNDES e, em 1968, foi instalado, ainda no Rio de Janeiro, o Escritório Regional CEPAL/ILPES no Brasil. O Escritório foi transferido para Brasília em 1978, a partir de um acordo entre a CEPAL, …
