History1969 Foundation 1984 Category C 1998 Operational Relations (154 EX/ONG.2) (154 EX/Dec. 7.3) 2003 Renewal of operational relations (166 EX/38) (166 EX/Dec.9.2)

Contribution to UNESCO's programmes The CEISAL, a reputable organization conducting research, archiving and information activities, has a reasonable balanced geographical extension and regional distribution of activities. After its admission to former Category C in 1984, relations have been restricted to exchanges of documentation and information. Its co-operation should be intensified, since it could contribute to better knowledge of Latin America and its constituent regions.
