Impact: The project was implemented through a high-level regional meeting that brought together representatives from 20 Member States of the Latin American and Caribbean region alongside major international and regional cooperation agencies. The meeting served as a platform to exchange successful experiences, institutional innovations, and best practices in SSTC, with a focus on strengthening regional cooperation frameworks, promoting private sector involvement, and diversifying funding sources. The project's potential impact lies in its contribution to shaping more inclusive, coordinated, and effective cooperation strategies that respond to regional development priorities. By advancing innovative financing mechanisms, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships, and enhancing institutional capacities, the project supports the broader goal of accelerating progress on the 2030 Agenda and addressing persistent development challenges across Latin America and the Caribbean
