The workshop on Social Policies and International Cooperation, titled, "Challenges for the Ministries of Social Development and the Inter-American Social Protection Network," concluded today in Brasilia, Brazil. It was coordinated by the Department of Social Development and Employment of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Ministry of Social Development and the Fight against Hunger of Brazil.
