The aim of the ACF is to inspire policies, programs and partnerships to improve economic prosperity at the local, regional and international levels, in addition to providing opportunities to steer the region toward a more prosperous future for the towns and communities of the Hemisphere.
The ACF will conclude on Friday afternoon with a ceremony featuring the Assistant Secretary General of the OAS, Albert Ramdin, Minister Tewarie, and a representative of the Government of Guatemala, which will host the IX edition of the Forum and will assume its presidency in 2015.
