Durante el mes de marzo, se llevó a cabo en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, el Seminario Internacional Inversión en la Infancia en América Latina y el Caribe, con el fin de acelerar los logros para cumplir los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible para la niñez en el continente.
La mesa inaugural del evento, estuvo constituida por el Ministro de Economía, Planificación y Desarrollo del país anfitrión, Lic. Isidoro Santana; el Director General de Presupuesto, Luis Reyes Santos; la Presidenta Ejecutiva del Consejo Nacional para la Niñez y la Adolescencia, Kenia Lora; y la Representante de UNICEF República Dominicana, Rosa Elcarte.
En el seminario, los participantes compartieron las experiencias de cada uno de sus países para garantizar la inversión adecuada y justa para el cumplimiento de los derechos y desarrollo integral de las niñas, niños y adolescentes de la región.

“Una exposición importante ha sido la de REDLAMYC, quienes se habían reunido durante dos días previos a preparar su intervención en dos paneles específicos; y desde Equidad a través de REDLAMYC, hemos reafirmado la importancia de la consolidación e institucionalización de los sistemas de información y análisis con estrategias e instrumentos de medición de la asignación, ejecución, monitoreo y evaluación de los presupuestos nacionales y locales dirigidos a la niñez con datos periódicos, desagregados (por edad, sexo, etnia, urbano- rural, otros), accesibles y asequibles a toda la ciudadanía, conforme lo señala la Observación General N° 19” afirman Rodolfo Mendoza y Otto Rivera.

La experiencia del seminario aporta al Programa de Apoyo a la Sociedad Civil para continuar dando énfasis a las acciones de incidencia estratégica en el tema de inversión pública en Niñez y Adolescencia de la región. Los diversos estudios que ha hecho tanto el Instituto Centroamericano de Estudios Fiscales -ICEFI-, como Equidad Perú, es que los países de la región siguen registrando una muy baja inversión pública en las Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes, a tal punto que al ritmo que vamos en América Latina y el Caribe vuelve a estar en un claro riesgo el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y las metas relativas a Niñez y Adolescencia explican Rodolfo Mendoza y Otto Rivera.
Las condiciones actuales en que se encuentran nuestras sociedades, son las Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes, quienes están en mayor riesgo y vulnerabilidad y el aporte que se puede hacer desde PASC es importante en tres ámbitos:
Es fundamental trabajar en evidencias y costear brechas de inversión, como apoyo e información al Estado, para la determinación de adecuadas asignaciones presupuestales. Ideal, a partir de ello, plantear metas y generar mecanismos, como incentivos a la gestión, para lograr intervenciones de calidad.
Se señaló explícitamente en una de las exposiciones, la necesidad de costear los sistemas de protección a la primera infancia, para ello se consideró las atenciones a la familia, la comunidad y las instituciones siendo fundamental seguir investigando, generando data e información para brindar adecuadas asignaciones a las diferentes necesidades de los NNA y no elaborar presupuestos públicos inerciales, repetitivos, sin políticas previas basadas en evidencias reales.
Con esto, el seminario deja diversas iniciativas que se esperan poder implementar desde los gobiernos de los distintos países, el sector privado organizado y la participación de Organizaciones de Sociedad Civil en una alianza estratégica. Además, es esencial continuar invitando en futuros seminarios a representantes de la Niñez y Adolescencia, para que sus intervenciones sean fundamentales en la toma de decisiones.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
