The Population Division of the Department for Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), United Nations has been collaborating with the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in the area of population ageing and intergenerational transfers. The Population Division is implementing activities under the project “Ageing and Population” of the PGA trust fund, in complement to the Development Account project (ROA 167) on “Strengthening capacity of national policy analysts in the social and economic sectors of developing countries in the production and use of National Transfer Accounts” (NTA), finalising this year.

DESA/Population Division, in coordination with ECLAC/CELADE-Population Division, have identified two priority countries in Latin America, Chile and Ecuador to participate in capacity development activities in this area, supported by the PGA trust fund. Professionals from each of the countries will receive introductory training in Population ageing and the concepts, methods and analysis of National Transfer Accounts. Other NTA teams in the region may also benefit from this training, and are welcome to attend, supported by other funding sources. This training workshop will be hosted by ECLAC in Santiago, Chile from 26 through 29 November 2013.
