The “Implementation Agenda based on Consensus 2005-2010” consisted of a set of 31 integration projects agreed upon by the countries on the basis of the results achieved during the territorial planning phase of the IIRSA Project Portfolio, and that, given their characteristics, have a high impact on the physical integration of South America. This Agenda of 31 strategic projects was approved by the IIRSA Executive Steering Committee in November 2004, and submitted to the South American Presidents at the Cusco Summit, in December 2004.

This “Implementation Agenda based on Consensus 2005-2010” will focus the attention and efforts of the twelve South American countries and of the multilateral agencies on the search for visible results within the IIRSA context, taking advantage of the synergies and opportunities for coordination and consensus-building within the Initiative.

The fact of focusing attention on a limited set of projects enhances execution possibilities since it facilitates the setting of priorities by governments, in some cases within a context of fiscal restrictions, a limited capacity for public indebtedness, and a participation of the public sector in infrastructure development that needs to be reinforced.

In this context, it launched a Strategic Management information System-SIGE for the “Agenda” which will allow the creation of information and monitoring mechanisms at the highest governmental levels.
