GLOBAL COMPAL Annual Conference: launch of the new regional programme for Latin America


05 - 06 March 2015
Hotel Atton, San Isidro
Lima
, Peru

The GLOBAL COMPAL Annual Conference will officially close the second phase of COMPAL and launch the new regional programme for Latin America: the COMPAL III.  (see detailed agenda enclosed)
 
The two-day meeting will bring together the heads of agency of the 15 members of COMPAL in Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.
 
In addition, members of the recently launched COMPAL-MENA programme will be taking part in the conference namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia and Yemen. The COMPAL MENA programme of UNCTAD is supported by the Swedish Government (S.I.D.A).
 
After two successful phases of SECO’s support for COMPAL in Latin America, COMPAL III now seeks to establish a self-sustained programme that will function beyond 2018, when SECO’s support to the programme will be concluded. For this purpose, COMPAL III will focus on two strategies of intervention: Consolidation of the acquired capacities and deepening of regional cooperation; and support and compliance with competition and consumer protection rules by the private sector.
 
The programme will last for three years and will be implemented by UNCTAD in close cooperation with the relevant national institutions of the COMPAL members. These are directly involved in the implementation of the programme through shared management-structures with UNCTAD. The programme will intervene at the national as well as at the regional level. In this last phase, COMPAL will particularly focus on activities at the regional level with the objective of strengthening the achievements at the national level through a strong regional underpinning. In this regard, Colombia and Peru will assume an important leadership role in order to reinforce the regional COMPAL structure.
 
The overall goal of COMPAL is to promote sustainable competition and consumer protection systems by strengthening the relevant institutions and fostering a better understanding of the benefits of competition
 

UNCTAD is pleased to welcome the important delegation of SECO (Switzerland), which will be represented in the Conference as the donor of COMPAL III.
