Guatemala has been selected as the venue for the XIII Seminar of the Network of National Public Investment Systems of Latin America and the Caribbean (SNIP Network), scheduled to take place in 2025. This decision was announced by the delegation from the Secretariat of Planning and Programming of the Presidency (Segeplan) during the XII Seminar of the SNIP Network held in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, from July 30 to August 1.
The Guatemalan delegation, which includes the Undersecretary of Investment for Development, Enrique Maldonado; the Director of Investment in Development, Rodolfo Campos; and the Director of Analysis and Monitoring of Investment for Development, David Véliz, played a crucial role in advocating for Guatemala as the host country for the next seminar.
Undersecretary Enrique Maldonado expressed his satisfaction with this achievement, emphasizing its significance for Guatemala. He highlighted the importance of such events in learning about innovative and effective practices in the formulation, evaluation, and execution of public projects across Latin America. He also noted that these seminars provide valuable insights into various contracting and financing modalities, which are essential for enhancing public investment strategies.
Maldonado further emphasized that hosting technical meetings like the SNIP Network Seminar strengthens the capabilities of executing units that manage substantial public investment resources. This, in turn, promotes better quality and efficiency in public investments.
The SNIP Network is a multilateral collaboration platform aimed at improving the quality of investments in the Latin American and Caribbean region. It comprises directors from the SNIPs of 16 countries and is supported by the Latin American and Caribbean Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES-ECLAC), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
The XIII SNIP Network Seminar in Guatemala will provide a significant opportunity for regional cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the advancement of best practices in public investment systems, benefiting not only Guatemala but also the broader Latin American and Caribbean community.
