1. Report for the Evaluation of the Strategic Plan for Partnership for Integral Development 2006-2011 December 2011

2. Special Considerations The OAS, its Member States and the international environment have changed significantly in the last few years. From now on, north-south cooperation will be increasingly diminished. The OAS, its Member States and the international environment have changed significantly in the last few years. From now on, north-south cooperation will be increasingly diminished. Partnership for development requires a clear re-definition and is more related to horizontal capacity transfer than to the financial flow of cash.

The OAS comparative advantage lies in its capability to launch a political dialogue the identifies common wills, creates consensus and favors democratic governance in our countries. Therefore, we must focus on strengthening high-level dialogue and facilitate the horizontal transfer of capacities. That is, a partnership for development closely linked to democratic governance.

3. CIDI and the Strategic Plan The Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) is responsible for monitoring and evaluating implementation of the Strategic Plan. CIDI shall evaluate cooperation activities and monitoring of the policies defined. SEDI shall present to CIDI, through CEPCIDI, a qualitative and quantitative report on the implementation of the Strategic Plan. On the basis of the evaluation reports presented, CIDI may adjust the Strategic Plan in terms of its execution and objectives.

4. Initial Consideration The Strategic Plan lacks benchmarks, indicators or targets to permit a quantitative evaluation. In consequence, the present report contains a qualitative overview of the Plans four Strategic Objectives with some quantitative data.

31. Considerations In overall terms, the results from the implementation of the Strategic Plan should be considered positive. In overall terms, the results from the implementation of the Strategic Plan should be considered positive.
