Organization of American States Goals of the Workshop:

1. Examine the education challenges facing the

Caribbean


2. Share the lessons learned from some of

the most consolidated programs in the

Americas


3. Lay the groundwork for the next phase of

KSAN- focusing on the Caribbean Member

States in light of the 3 Ministerial Priorities


What is our perspective of Horizontal Cooperation?

Going beyond…

the unilateral flow of resources and knowledge

the approach that centralizes the production and distribution of knowledge


an opportunity for the collective review and

construction of knowledge, models and

pilot projects.

A strategy for Collaboration…



Based on:

the technical competence of the

receiving and offering countries to support and

participate in a critical analysis process



the countries’ political will to offer its consolidated

experiences and share the lessons learned


the fact that experiences in one country can provide valuable lessons for other

countries and that these lessons contain the seed

for similar projects that can be redefined to fit other national contexts.



Based on:


Supported by KSAN

a descentralized and virtual Knowledge Sharing

and Advisory Network of policy makers, scholars, and specialized analysts

Organization of American States What are the advantages of

this Mechanism?

Allows countries to express their actual priorities

Encourages countries to identify and share experiences of success and failure, and

learn from them

Organization of American States What are the advantages of

this Mechanism?

All participating countries can simultaneously be the “sharer” and the “shared with.”

Not only the country soliciting assistance receives a better understanding of the lessons

learned, but the coordinating country is also able to reflect upon its own evolution process.

By so doing, countries can incorporate the useful technique of self-assessment into their

institutional functioning.
