The Organization of American States (OAS) and Fundación América Solidaria today signed in Cali a Letter of Intent with the objective of strengthening the Inter-American Social Protection Network through mobilizing cooperation among young volunteer professionals. The document was signed by the OAS Executive Secretary for Integral Development, Alfonso Quiñónez, and the President of América Solidaria, Benito Baranda.
The two institutions pledged to coordinate their initiatives to complement and enhance joint ventures destined to fulfill the objectives of the Inter-American Social Protection Network. After the tragic consequences of the Haiti earthquake of January 12, and in view of the necessary economic and social reconstruction of the Caribbean country, this agreement will prioritize those initiatives aimed at supporting the Haiti Reconstruction Plan, and will be conducted in coordination with that country’s authorities.
Fundación América Solidaria is an international non-governmental organization that promotes joint cooperation among American nations to globalize solidarity. Its activities focus on providing voluntary professional services in the most impoverished areas of Latin America and the Caribbean; mobilizing the continent to help countries victimized by catastrophes; and sensitizing society on the social challenges that affect the region and the need to confront them.
The OAS, through its Department of Social Development and Employment, has in recent years promoted the exchange of successful practices in the area of social protection, and currently is working to strengthen, in collaboration with its Member States and other institutions, the Inter-American Social Protection Network as a tool of inter-American cooperation. These initiatives respond to a mandate from the Ministers and High Authorities on Social Development and from the Heads of State and Government in the Port of Spain Declaration, issued during the Fifth Summit of the Americas. The current agreement was signed in the framework of the Second Meeting of Ministers and High Authorities on Social Development, being held July 8 and 9, 2010, in Cali, Colombia.
