 | We begin the year by looking back over events in Latin America in the last quarter of 2019: events that should make us consider, within the scope of EU and Latin American cooperation, the path the programme needs to take to contribute to reduce those inequality gaps that are partly responsible for social needs. We need to be efficient, but also strategic, focusing our joint actions with Latin America governments on the search for that social cohesion that strengthens societies and renews trust in institutions. Practically speaking, the EUROsociAL+ results framework should be the benchmark for a job well done, but above all, useful for public policy. We also kick off the new year with the challenge to incorporate the Dominican Republic into the programme; a country we welcome as enthusiastically as we do the new year.

EUROsociAL+ results framework |
|
|  | One of the priorities for EUROsociAL+ over the next two years is to make its achievements visible. As a starting point, we have developed a results framework that will allow us to identify what we have contributed in the area of public policies for social cohesion. The tool consists of 8 major groups of results, which are then divided into 32 subcategories. This framework will also identify the programme's contributions to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to the Transitional Development approach.

EUROsociAL+ forums on Capacity4dev |
|
|  |
The forum came about to lend continuity to the activity aimed at providing an exchange space for representatives of international organizations, civil society organisations, academia and activists who are currently working on disability and gender issues, accessibility barriers and violence against women to establish a work agenda that addresses the obstacles and challenges faced by women with disabilities and victims and survivors of violence. The event was organised by the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM), as the Technical Office to MESECVI, George Washington University and the EUROsociAL+ Programme. |
