A OAS- Organizacao dos Estados Americanos- convidou Celso Athayde, Secretario Geral da CUFA para o lancamento da Rede Inter-americana de Protecao Social (Inter-American Social Protection Network), que aconteceu nesta terca-feira, 22 de setembro na cidade de Nova Iorque. Fabio Azeredo, coordenador da CUFA nos Estados Unidos acompanhou Athayde no evento.

A mesa de abertura contou com o Secretario Geral da OAS, Jose Miguel Insulza; com a Secretaria de Estado dos Estados Unidos, Hillary Clinton; com a presidente do Chile, Michelle Bachelet; com o prefeito de Nova Iorque, Michael Bloomberg; e com o presidente da IDB (Inter-American Development Bank- Banco Inter-Americano de Desenvolvimento), Luis Alberto Moreno.

A rede foi criada para que a troca de experiencias nos diversos paises das Americas possa ser estimulada. Brasil e Mexico foram citados como exemplos de projetos de transferencia de renda que tem sido copiadas com sucesso em paises dee primeiro mundo, como enfatizaram Madam Clinton e o prefeito de Nova Iorque, Mike Bloomfield, que inclusive ja adaptou a experiencia e tem tido exito em sua cidade.

A CUFA foi convidada por representar a capilaridade necessaria que esses projetos precisam ter para que funcionem efetivamente enquanto rede social, sem o que seria mais um projeto de cima para baixo e nao "de baixo para cima e de dentro para fora" como salientou Madam Clinton.
