Each year the OAS Secretary General publishes a proposed Program-Budget for the coming calendar year. The OAS General Assembly meets in a Special Session to approve the Program-Budget. Find these documents from 1998-2013 here.
Each year in April, the OAS Board of External Auditors publishes a report covering the previous calendar year’s financial results. Reports covering 1996-2016 may be found here.
Approximately six weeks after the end of each semester, the OAS publishes a Semiannual Management and Performance Report, which since 2013 includes reporting on programmatic results. The full texts may be found here.
Here you will find data on the Human Resources of the OAS, including its organizational structure, each organizational unit’s staffing, vacant posts, and performance contracts.
The OAS executes a variety of projects funded by donors. Evaluation reports are commissioned by donors. Reports of these evaluations may be found here.
The Inspector General provides the Secretary General with reports on the audits, investigations, and inspections conducted. These reports are made available to the Permanent Council. More information may be found here.
The OAS has discussed for several years the real estate issue, the funding required for maintenance and repairs, as well as the deferred maintenance of its historic buildings. The General Secretariat has provided a series of options for funding it. The most recent document, reflecting the current status of the Strategy, is CP/CAAP-3211/13 rev. 4.
Here you will find information related to the GS/OAS Procurement Operations, including a list of procurement notices for formal bids, links to the performance contract and travel control measure reports, the applicable procurement rules and regulations, and the training and qualifications of its staff.
The OAS Treasurer certifies the financial statements of all funds managed or administered by the GS/OAS. Here you will find the latest general purpose financial reports for the main OAS funds, as well as OAS Quarterly Financial Reports (QFRs).
Every year the GS/OAS publishes the annual operating plans for all areas of the Organization, used to aid in the formulation of the annual budget and as a way to provide follow-up on institutional mandates.
Here you will find information related to the OAS Strategic Plan 2016-2020, including its design, preparation and approval.
Sustainable Communities in Central America and the Caribbean
Sustainable Transport Solutions
As communities continue to grow, the adoption of sustainable transport solutions have become critical in order to increase mobility, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. The Sustainable Communities in Central America and the Caribbean project seeks to support community-based projects including but not limited to motorized and non-motorized transport development, intelligent transport systems, transport planning and transit-oriented development. The following examples of existing or previously implemented projects that would fall under this pillar are provided for reference:
Bicycle Network Improvement in Urban Areas: The project would seek (i) to improve the operational efficiency and safety of the transport system, with better opportunities to use public transport through trans-millennium type bus upgrades and non-motorized transport, and (ii) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by promoting the use of zero-emission bicycle and pedestrian transport. The project demonstrates and publicizes the benefits and viability of bicycles as an alternate transport mode to encourage replication of this pilot program in other urban areas.
Mobility and Urban Development: The project promotes the development of sustainable transportation by evaluating costs of both private and public transportation options and showcasing the benefits of growth in dense, compact, and low emission transportation infrastructure. Through cooperation with city bus systems, the project aims to promote the replication of successful low-carbon transportation systems.
Cycling and Walking: The project works with cities to bring about streets that are safer for pedestrians and cyclists with features such as protected sidewalks and bike lanes, initiate bike share programs and car-free days, and improve the quality and availability of affordable bicycles with bike shares to ensure affordability and access.
Urban Design to Decrease Car Use: The project works to integrate smart urban design and transport by encouraging pedestrian and transit-oriented real estate development, designing state-of-the-art environments for walking and cycling, and crafting policies that turn physical and cultural spaces into economic assets.
