MEXICO DIALOGUES:
Public Sector, Civil Society, and Academia Series
Mexico Dialogues brings public officials with leading roles in shaping the social development of their country, together with highly committed scholars and civil society activists who will discuss the most relevant issues related to Mexico’s current agenda. The event will have four panels: Mexico’s International Agenda; Drugs, Violence, and Justice; Migration Flows to, from, and within; and Inclusive Urban Development Policy.
OLA is pleased to further an ongoing partnership with CAF (Corporación Andina de Fomento). CAF is the only development bank owned by Latin American countries, and its share in the development multilateral finance has been growing at a remarkable pace over its last 40 years.
