To Better Accomplish its Mission and Have More Impacts in Member Countries DGPE:
• Changed name to better reflect central mission. • Reorganized internal structure (concept of “one team”). • Work Plan based on a strategy expressed in a few key
programs instead of numerous small projects. • Offers a new innovative flagship product: “Integrated
Country Support Strategies (ICSS)”for Public Management. • Implements internally: “Result based Management”
DGPEDGPE
The “Integrated Country Support Strategies" (ICSS) for Public Management:
A very concrete objective: aims to strengthen in an integral way public management and institutional capacities for implementing the country’s own development goals as expressed in their development strategies/plans and legislatives mandates.
Institutional Support
Advantages of the Integrated Country-Support Strategies
• OAS only responds to a government request
• OAS has no ex-ante prescriptions: ensures that projects in Program reflect the priorities identified by the government itself.
• The design of the Strategy helps governments define in an integrated way its goals and priorities for strengthening public institutions.
• By developing the “big picture” of TC needs , the Country Strategy Program allows donors to escape “silos” by channeling technical assistance and funding more effectively into an Integrated Program, promoting synergies, and avoiding flawed sequencing and/or duplication of effort.
• Potential tool to integrate work of OAS Secretariats
Institutional Support
The following Integrated Country Support Strategy Programs are launched:
• 2010 Plurinational State of Bolivia (“Bolivia”) Paraguay
• 2011 El Salvador Belize

NEXT STEPS
• Finish Project Profiles (Level # 3) with our Bolivian counterparts.
• Launch the Steering Committee (Min. Foreign Relations, Planning, Presidency)
• Mobilize “ seed” financing from OAS Budget to preserve forward motion in development of priority projects and maintain credibility of the OAS
• Organize an intensive and very systematic strategy of fund raising for donors.
The Integrated Country - Support Strategies for Effective Public Management have been designated as priority by the OAS Secretary General..... but there are key areas remaining to be consolidated for their success:
• Prioritization of the Integrated Country Support Strategies (ICSS) in the operational budget of the OAS.
• Consolidation of a DEPM team of professionals specialized in public administration.
