2INTER - AMERICAN0 DIALOGUE04  2004 PROGRAM REPORT t 2004 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS r e are pleased to present a summary overview of the Inter-American Dialogue’s work in 2004. The Dialogue has become an increasingly visible and influential presence in Washington and W in Latin America. No other non-governmental institution has more effectively engaged the U.S. Congress on hemispheric affairs, or is more regularly quoted in the U.S. and Latin American media about inter-American issues. This year, former president of Brazil Fernando Henrique Cardoso and former U.S. trade representative Carla Hills chaired a Dialogue task force that produced “Agenda for the po Americas 2005,” a widely cited report offering recommendations to revitalize U.S. policy toward Latin America and the Caribbean. e The Dialogue’s extensive work on Colombia and provides authoritative and balanced policy assessments of the challenges confronting those countries. Our forums and publications on remittances have broken new ground. We are an active voice in debates about Haiti and —and have helped

R keep Washington consistently well-informed about developments in Brazil, , and Mexico. We have worked for several years to keep issues of press freedom, media responsibility, and access to informa- tion on the agenda—both in Washington and throughout the region. The Dialogue is shaping policy and action on educational reform in many countries. We are also working hard to focus attention on the hemispheric trade agenda—and to seek bipartisan support for U.S. economic cooperation with Latin America and the Caribbean.

We are grateful for the support of a wide circle of friends, associates, corporate partners, and public and private donors, which is vital to sustain the Inter-American Dialogue’s work and its efforts to improve the quality of debate and decision making in hemispheric affairs and to build stronger cooperation in the Americas.

We look forward to an even more intense set of activities in 2005.

*Term began January 2005. The Inter-American Dialogue

The Inter-American Dialogue is the leading U.S. center for policy analysis, exchange, and communication on issues in Western Hemisphere affairs. The Dialogue brings together public and private leaders from across the Americas to address key hemispheric problems and opportunities.

The Dialogue’s select membership of 100 distinguished citizens from throughout the Americas includes political, business, academic, media, and other nongovernmental leaders. Eleven Dialogue members served as presidents of their countries and nearly thirty have served at the cabinet level.

Dialogue activities are directed to generating new policy ideas and practical proposals for action, and getting these ideas and proposals to government and private decision makers. The Dialogue also offers diverse Latin American and Caribbean voices access to U.S. policy debates and discussions. Based in Washington, the Dialogue conducts its work throughout the hemisphere. A majority of our Board of Directors are from Latin American and Caribbean nations, as are more than half of the Dialogue’s members and participants in our other leadership networks and task forces.

Since 1982—through successive Republican and Democratic administrations and many changes of leadership elsewhere in the hemisphere—the Dialogue has helped shape the agenda of issues and choices in inter-American relations.
