ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT | IV ACTIVITY OVERVIEW ZIKA PROGRAM ACTIVITY DETAILS The project seeks to contribute by strengthening local actors and communities in the control and prevention of the Zika Virus by influencing the knowledge, attitudes and practices of communities, agents, and community health workers. It recovers the best practices and experiences to strengthen and or develop communal mechanisms of monitoring and control. The project has emphasis on pregnant women, women in reproductive ages and adolescents. It proposes to involve communities in an active manner, recovering or strengthening the population’s participation on their own health care and empowerment. To this end, it promotes the generation of alliances with competent local and regional government organizations (Peru) and Municipalities. Objectives to achieve in two phases over three years: 1. To increase community, local and national capacities to deliver efficient and timely response to the Zika virus outbreak and other vector prone diseases through Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Human Rights approaches based on CARE’s experience in SRMH (Sexual, Reproductive and Maternal Health), sustainable community health systems and empowerment to strengthen the direct involvement of communities, by community health agents, in Zika priority areas (prevention, and vector control). 2. To enhance regional and national efforts to help decrease the rates of Zika transmission by sharing findings, impact results and influencing bi-national policy making through a deep and rigorous evidence-based approach of best practices and lessons learned in community mobilization and participation, to allow fast track, gender sensitive implementation strategies in diverse social and cultural contexts, increase coordination and planning capacities, refine an accurate monitoring system and a well-developed communication and dissemination strategy. Geographic Focus: Ecuador: 10 cantons belonging to 3 provinces in the coastal region of the country, two of which suffered from varying degrees of damage from the April 2016 earthquake: Esmeraldas (1), Manabi (6) and El Oro (3) Peru: 20 districts in the northern section of the country: Tumbes (4); Piura (11); Lambayeque (3) and Cajamarca (2) Beneficiaries: The following chart details beneficiaries taking part of CARE’s monitoring platform: V | USAID ZIKA ANNUAL REPORT USAID.GOV Table 1.

  • 2020 LATIN AMERICAN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT REPORT Brian Gendreau and Timothy E
    MASTER OF ARTS IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES The Center for Latin American Studies is uniquely poised to help students achieve their educational and career goals with a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies (MALAS) degree. With over 160 experts on the region, the Center is recognized today as one of the top-ranked centers internationally and has been continuously designated as a National Resource Center by the U.S. Department of Education since 1961. LATIN AMERICAN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM The Latin American Business Environment (LABE) specialization is for MALAS students with a keen interest in Latin America who seek to acquire the analytical skills for careers in business, non-government organizations, and government. The program also serves the general public and business community through speaking engagements and publications, including the annual Latin American Business Environment report. The contents of this report were developed under a National Resource Center grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Those contents, however, do not necessarily represent the policy of the U.S. Department of Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government. PREFACE This is the 21st edition of the Latin American Business Environment Report (LABER). The Report includes a review of the business, investment and legal environments in all of the Latin American states, including Cuba, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. As in past years the goal of the Report is to provide an accessible, balanced evaluation of the economic, social, political, policy and legal developments that affect the region’s business and investment climate. LABER is a publication of the Latin American Business Environment Program (LABEP) in the Center for Latin American Studies in collaboration with the Center for Governmental Responsibility (CGR) in the Levin College of Law at the University of Florida.
