In seeking ways to improve the Summits mechanism and in order to propose specific and viable solutions, the Summits of the Americas Secretariat has worked actively and in conjunction with the General Secretariat and member states, and has prepared a Summits of the Americas mandate follow-up system. The follow-up system is a mechanism to provide member states with tools necessary to facilitate the achievement of the goals established in the mandates, so that they can be measured in the medium- and long-term through results-based management. Another aim is to implement a new mandate follow-up method in order to modernize and optimize processes involving all Summits of the Americas stakeholders. The outcomes of the Summits of the Americas have gradually come to guide the efforts of our states. Our governments view these outcomes as strategic guidelines for use in channeling many of their actions, over a considerable time. Growth, employment, poverty, environmental sustainability, energy security, discrimination and crime are all issues that can be resolved with the democratic adoption and implementation of effective and efficient public policies. The Summit Process is looking for a multidimensional way to strengthen democracy and governance, helping to reduce poverty and increase opportunities in the Americas. The process of the Summits of the Americas is imposing greater responsibility, since it promotes highly dynamic action therein so as to be able to keep abreast of new challenges and new needs affecting the peoples of the Hemisphere. It also requires of us greater innovation so that on each occasion we generate new and more effective solutions and courses of action to resolve these challenges and address these needs. In this regard, the management of mandates oriented to results, plays an important role in generating information for decision-making by governments, particularly in relation to the continuity of its policies and the appointment of resources needed to their implementation. Through greater efficiency in information processing and systematization of the results, SISCA becomes a useful tool in promoting greater transparency and efficiency in the follow-up process. It represents an effort to facilitate fulfillment of the commitments assumed at the Summits and to provide the member states with an array of appropriate tools to promote, provide support for, and strengthen the inter-American agenda at this crucial time in our shared history. It creates an important forum, not only for institution-building, but, especially, for the exercise of democracy.
