What is the Buenos Aires Plan of Action?
The document is the result of a Conference held in Argentina’s capital in 1978, gathering 138 countries. It aims at Promoting and Implementing Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (TCDC). The concept of TCDC already existed and had been thoroughly studied and analyzed for over five years on the international and interregional levels to have its principle objectives spelled out in Buenos Aires. Endorsed by the General Assembly, the Buenos Aires Plan of Action presents 38 recommendations for the enhancement of TCDC focused on the purpose of increasing the capacity of the developing countries, developing their awareness and confidence in each other capabilities.
