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 OAS Strategic Plan 2016-2020, including its design, preparation and approval.
Renewable Energy and Climate Science:
Metrology and Technology Challenges in the Americas
Workshop on Energy Efficiency for Appliances
and Labeling: Challenges and Opportunities for the Region
The event will take place from 7th to 9th of June-
2016, in San Jose-
Costa Rica, at the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE).
Participating Countries
Centroamérica and Dominican Republic
Workshop Objectives
To promote increased cooperation and
coordination among technical bodies, regulators, accreditors,
standards developers and other stakeholders in Central America
(CA) and the Dominican Republic (DR), to increase effectiveness
of programs and policies on energy efficiency.
To explore opportunities for regional
cooperation in measuring compliance to advance the
implementation of energy efficiency standards and labeling
programs for equipment and appliance.
To increase the technical capacities of the
main actors responsible for designing and implementing energy
efficiency measures in equipment (motors, engines) and
appliances (air conditioning, refrigerators, lighting), in CA
and DR.
To create political awareness of the
opportunities for energy efficiency, especially in the context
of sustainable energy programs for all (SE4ALL), where the
region has an international commitment to double its rate of
increase in energy efficiency. This objective contributes
directly to the fulfillment of global sustainable development
goals of UN 2030.
To identify opportunities in the measurement
area, specifically on the role of metrology institutes in the
region to support the development of energy efficiency ratings
(indexes) in CA and DR.
To explore opportunities for collaboration
and coordination with national, regional, international and
multilateral organizations implementing energy efficiency
programs in the region.
Coordinate: OAS, NIST, and LACOMET Target: Industry, academia, and both public and private sectors. Dates: June 7th to 9th, 2016 Location: Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE) Email: [email protected];
