Documents Concluding Remarks Vice President Burke Dillon: Internal Workshop on Social Exclusion (PDF, 103 Kb, En)

We have a chance now to focus attention on the issue of exclusion. This issue is important for many reasons but, for me, it would be sufficient that we cannot address poverty unless we address race. Poverty reduction and growth are the central objectives of this organization. We will not be able to achieve these goals--and we will be deluding ourselves that we will be able to achieve them--without addressing the issues of race within the region.
