In a landmark move to bolster economic and social progress in the Americas, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Latin American Business Council (CEAL) have forged a strategic partnership. The collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed during the XXXVI CEAL Plenary Assembly in Washington, DC, aims to enhance public-private sector cooperation with a particular focus on Haiti. The initiative underscores a shared commitment to addressing critical areas such as education, financial inclusion, employment, and food security. CEAL President Roberto J. Zamora emphasized the significance of this alliance, stating, ‘This agreement marks a pivotal moment for a new era of collaboration. Politicians and business leaders must unite to tackle economic challenges and drive development. Haiti will be our first test case.’ OAS Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin echoed this sentiment, describing the partnership as a milestone and expressing optimism about its potential to foster long-term relationships across the region. CEAL, a coalition of private sector leaders from 19 Latin American countries, Puerto Rico, Miami, and the Iberian Peninsula, is dedicated to promoting a ‘borderless America’ through investment, entrepreneurship, and knowledge exchange. This joint effort signals a renewed commitment to Haiti’s development amid ongoing challenges.
