This document aims to reaffirm the central role played by the international cooperation system, in the different forms it can assume, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. For the countries of the region to achieve the Goals, it is essential to ensure their access to technical assistance and knowledge sharing, strengthen collaborative partnerships, promote active multi-stakeholder participation and increase mobilization of funding for development. In 2017, Chile was one of three Latin American and Caribbean countries that were “graduated” by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), thereby becoming ineligible for official development assistance. Chile is leading the debate on the concept of graduation and its underlying principles, considering it a process that obscures the structural gaps to development and, in conjunction with other countries of the region, argues that using per capita income as the basis for graduation contradicts the provisions of the 2030 Agenda.
