The sessions that took place from the 14th to the 18th of February 2022, were attended by a total of 164 participants, from 7 LAC countries, including eight representatives from the Dominican Republic. Amongst them officials from the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic, the Association of Commercial Banks (ABA), Banco Popular Dominicano (BPD), investment fund management company Pioneer Funds, and the securities broker company Puesto de Bolsa CCI.

A franco-indian initiative launched in 2015, with headquarters in Gurugam, India, the ISA was conceived as a coalition of solar-resource-rich countries to address their special energy needs. It aims at being "an action-oriented, member-driven, collaborative platform for increased deployment of solar energy technologies to enhance energy security and sustainable development, and to improve access to energy in developing member countries".
