  11. 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.

  12. 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.
