Informe de la Comisión de Implementación para la Dirección Tripartita del IAI

The report details the progress of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) in implementing a tripartite management structure across Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. It outlines the specific roles and responsibilities of three new directorates—Integrated Operations and Finance, Scientific Development, and Science-Policy Liaison—and provides status updates on the legal agreements and office setups in each host country.

• The IAI is establishing a tripartite management structure consisting of three specialized directorates located in different countries: the Executive Directorate of Integrated Operations and Finance in Montevideo, Uruguay; the Directorate of Scientific Development in São José dos Campos, Brazil; and the Directorate of Science-Policy Liaison in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
• The Executive Directorate of Integrated Operations and Finance in Montevideo serves as the IAI headquarters. Its responsibilities include managing financial policies, annual budgets, and long-term plans, acting as the Secretariat for the Conference of the Parties (CoP) and the Executive Council, and managing the IAI's overall program implementation.
• The Directorate of Scientific Development in Brazil is tasked with creating a strategic vision for the IAI's scientific mandate, identifying scientific gaps in the portfolio, coordinating dialogues between the scientific community and social actors, and strengthening partnerships with regional scientific institutions.
• The Directorate of Science-Policy Liaison in Argentina focuses on bridging the gap between scientific research and public policy. Its activities include developing outreach strategies, managing dialogue between science and policy-makers, and improving public awareness of global change.
• As of the report date, the Science-Policy Liaison office in Buenos Aires is legally established via a host country agreement signed on October 30, 2012, with office space provided by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (MinCyT).
• The host country agreement for Uruguay was signed on November 13, 2012, and was awaiting ratification by Parliament as of April 2, 2013. The Ministry of Housing, Territorial Planning and Environment (MVOTMA) is assisting with facilities at the national laboratories (LATU).
• The host country agreement for Brazil is still under review, with the Implementation Commission noting that several points require further elaboration to clarify how the Scientific Development Directorate and its staff will integrate with the offices in Argentina and Uruguay.
