Foro Técnico IIRSA

In 2011, IIRSA was incorporated into the Council as its Technical Forum to provide support on the planning of regional connectivity infrastructure.
 

The National Coordinations (CNs, in Spanish) are the focal points of IIRSA in each country. In order to improve the performance of their tasks, the CNs meet on a regular basis, generally twice a year, to analyze the progress made regarding the annual action plans approved by Ministers COSIPLAN. Additionally, they work jointly with the regional development institutions that make up the Technical Coordination Committee (CCT) on all aspects of the activities conducted by IIRSA.

+ EXECUTIVE TECHNICAL GROUPS

The Executive Technical Groups (GTEs, in Spanish) are IIRSA's technical working groups. They analyze specific issues related with the topics of the Work Plan, Integration and Development Hub (EID, in Spanish) and Integration Sectorial Process (PSI, in Spanish).

The GTEs are made up of officials and experts appointed by the countries from governmental agencies deemed relevant for the area of work concerned. The appointment of delegates to represent each country at the GTE meetings falls under the responsibility of the National Coordinators (CNs, in Spanish), who preside over their own delegations. The National Coordinations are also concerned with communicating information about the agenda, outcomes and actions to be adopted to their respective governments.

The CCT and its Secretariat facilitate the organization of GTE meetings by providing technical, logistic and financial support to contribute to attaining the expected goals.

+ TECHNICAL COORDINATION COMMITEE

The Technical Coordination Committee (CCT, its Spanish acronym) is made up of the Inter American Development Bank (IDB), the CAF, Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina and the Financial Fund for the Development of the River Plate Basin (FONPLATA).

The CCT provides technical and financial support to countries in all topics related to the Annual Work Plan of IIRSA, and acts as a process facilitator, a coordinator of joint activities and the guardian of IIRSA’s institutional reports. Its work is primarily concerned with the priority areas defined by the National Coordinations of IIRSA.

The CCT's Secretariat is permanently based at the Institute for the Integration of Latin America and the Caribbean (IDB-INTAL), located in Buenos Aires.

The CCT has a Secretariat, based in the Institute for the Integration of Latin America and the Caribbean (IDB-INTAL) in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

This Technical Secretariat provides technical and operational support to those actions identified as a priority by all the UNASUR countries in their annual Work Plans within the framework of COSIPLAN-IIRSA.

It prepares, translates, publishes and disseminates the reports on each meeting, and is responsible for presenting the annual report on the activities undertaken by IIRSA Technical Forum as well as the reports on the COSIPLAN Project Portfolio and the Integration Priority Project Agenda (API).

The Secretariat sends notice for the meetings held within the framework of IIRSA Annual Work Plan and is responsible for their organizational and logistical aspects. Furthermore, it serves as a liaison and communication unit between the CCT, the COSIPLAN-IIRSA Presidency Pro Tempore and the National Coordinators.
