Ec<strong>on</strong>omic Commissi<strong>on</strong> for Latin America <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Caribbean (ECLAC)<br />
• To achieve real territorial development in <strong>the</strong> regi<strong>on</strong> by improving or adjusting legal, fiscal <strong>and</strong> instituti<strong>on</strong>al<br />
mechanisms that govern planning <strong>and</strong> public policies, countries must: (i) update development plans,<br />
adapting <strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> territories; (ii) clarify <strong>the</strong> functi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>and</strong> competencies <strong>of</strong> instituti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
<strong>and</strong> policies when deciding measures for territorial development, thus improving coordinati<strong>on</strong>, optimizing<br />
<strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> public resources <strong>and</strong> avoiding <strong>the</strong> duplicati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> functi<strong>on</strong>s; (iii) promote participati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
subnati<strong>on</strong>al authorities in <str<strong>on</strong>g>regi<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> development planning systems, c<strong>on</strong>tributing in particular to <strong>the</strong><br />
streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>of</strong> intermediate levels <strong>and</strong> technical capacity for planning, territorial management,<br />
administrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> budgets at <strong>the</strong> municipal <strong>and</strong> local levels, which is a strategic <strong>and</strong> essential acti<strong>on</strong> for<br />
territorial governance <strong>and</strong> planning at multiple levels, because it c<strong>on</strong>firms <strong>the</strong> legitimacy <strong>and</strong> relevance<br />
<strong>of</strong> territorial assessments <strong>and</strong> increases <strong>the</strong> effectiveness <strong>of</strong> policies; <strong>and</strong> (iv) deepen decentralizati<strong>on</strong><br />
processes in <strong>the</strong> countries, incorporating into legal, fiscal <strong>and</strong> instituti<strong>on</strong>al mechanisms a systemic visi<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole, which is able to anticipate <strong>the</strong> exacerbati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> inter<str<strong>on</strong>g>regi<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> asymmetries (ECLAC, 2017).<br />
