The agenda included exchange workshops on Chile’s Budget Office (DIPRES) and its strategic planning processes, monitoring, ex-ante and ex-post evaluations, information use and intersectoral relations, with emphasis on their implications for programmatic and budgetary decision-making.
The missioon was attended by Paraguay’s officials from DGP, Chile’s officials from DIPRES and the Ministry of Social Development and Family, Verónica Herken, National Officer of the ILO Project Office in Asunción, and Guillermo Montt, Social Protection Specialist of the ILO Office for the Southern Cone of Latin America.
