Efficient local development strategies: Exchange of experiences Latin America and OECD The Andean Development Corporation (CAF), full member of the LEED Directing Committee, and the OECD LEED Programme jointly organised a conference in Bogota in September 2008 hosted by the National Ministry of Planning (DNP) of Colombia. This event sought to stimulate the exchange of good practices in defining and implementing economic development strategies at the local level. In addition, the event contributed to the policy dialogue between the OECD and Latin America, by providing a platform to discuss and identify relevant policy making approaches in order to achieve self-sustaining local development strategies. This report presents a summary of the presentations, discussions and working sessions that took place during the conference and the capacity building seminar. It has been prepared by the OECD Secretariat in collaboration with the CAF.

Conclusions sur les compétences en vue de stimuler la productivité, la croissance de l’emploi et le développement Conférence internationale du Travail, 2008 Investir dans l’éducation et les compétences pour les femmes et les hommes afin d’aider les économies à parvenir à une croissance dynamique tournée vers des emplois de qualité constitue une priorité pressante partout dans le monde. Lors de la Conférence internationale du Travail de 2008, les mandants tripartites de l’OIT (gouvernements, employeurs et travailleurs) ont adopté une série de conclusions uniquement centrées sur ce problème. Elles fournissent des directives pratiques en vue de renforcer l’éducation, la formation professionnelle et la formation tout au long de la vie, qui constituent les piliers essentiels de l’employabilité des travailleurs et du développement durable des entreprises dans le cadre de l’Agenda du travail décent. Les conclusions soulignent à quel point le développement des compétences peut être un puissant instrument pour faire reculer la pauvreté et l’exclusion, et améliorer la compétitivité et l’employabilité.
