The programme sums up the specific aims for a two-year period, which are consistent with one or more of the four strategic goals of the plan and facilitate progress towards its implementation. Furthermore, it contains guidelines to provide direction and stimulate concrete action by countries, international and subregional organizations and the different coordination and cooperation bodies created for these purposes, such as the working groups and committees of experts.The programme does not describe all the activities carried out by the different international entities working in the area of statistics and cooperation in the region that are committed to undertaking activities and complying with responsibilities that help achieve the goals of the Conference.
