Latin America and the Caribbean

Pact’s work in Latin America and the Caribbean is defined by programs with sustained impact in Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Throughout the region, as elsewhere, building sustainable organizational and institutional capacity is central to Pact’s efforts. Program emphases span diverse development issues fundamental to national development and to fostering participatory, transparent and accountable practices at every level of society. Sectoral issues include democracy and governance and HIV/AIDS. Earlier efforts in the region contributed to development processes in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Haiti, and participants from virtually every nation in the region have attended Pact training courses and workshops.

Pact's Citizens' Access to Labor Justice for CAFTA-DR Program strengthens civil society organizations and national institutions entrusted to support the administration of labor justice. This program operates in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
