CAF Commitment
CAF continues to promote an agenda focused on addressing the main government challenges, particularly in the area of decentralization, modernization of the state, smart cities, urban development and citizen security. In this way, it has developed various trainings such as the Latin American High Driving Program, which seeks to strengthen the skills of public officials in key topics such as: education; digital transformation of the State and productive sectors; climate change; leadership, negotiation and conflict resolution; productive reactivation; gender, diversities and inclusion; among others.
In this context, three fundamental aspects were highlighted in the workshops: inclusive education, gender equity and diversity in public management, addressed from the focus of innovation and disruption. The CAF Disability Inclusion Coordination promoted the importance of moving towards an education that is not only inclusive in words, but a palpable reality throughout the region.

CAF’s commitment to holding these workshops in Buenos Aires, which brought together different audiences, allowed a heterogeneous and plural space for dialogue, learning and action. Thus, the commitment of the multilateral organization to the comprehensive development of the region and the strengthening of its public institutions is reaffirmed, thanks to the integration of different development agents in a single space.
