Work Plan 2024 - 2026 of REDESCA: Strengthening ESCERs in the Americas

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), through its Office of the Special Rapporteur on Economic, Social, Cultural, and Environmental Rights (REDESCA), will develop its Work Plan for the period 2024 – 2026.

The objective of this Work Plan is to institutionalize the axes and priorities of action for REDESCA during the 2024-2026 period. In its preparation, a situational diagnosis will be conducted, and objectives and expectations regarding the role of the Office of the Special Rapporteur will be defined in order to identify the necessary innovations that REDESCA requires to continue addressing challenges related to Economic, Social, Cultural, and Environmental Rights (ESCER) in the Americas. This process is articulated with the guidelines of the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan of the IACHR, also aligning with the 2030 Agenda and mandates of the OAS General Assembly related to ESCER. This orientation allows the Office of the Special Rapporteur to strengthen synergy among the various mandates, functions, and mechanisms of the IACHR, with the aim of promoting and effectively safeguarding ESCER in the Americas.

In this context, REDESCA invites OAS member states, civil organizations, academic institutions, international human rights entities, and other stakeholders to submit information through the online questionnaire, the responses to which will be crucial for structuring our future initiatives and objectives.

Deadline for responses: February 4, 2024, until 23.59 GMT-5 (the deadline has been extended until February 11 23:59 GMT-5)

Submit responses to: [email protected], including in the email subject: "Online Consultation Questionnaire REDESCA Work Plan."
