The Director Generals of IICA

The Institute also continued to strengthen relations with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Organization of American States (OAS) in complementary areas of work.

The ‘working together’ approach was strengthened by means of joint activities with organizations such as the WTO, ECLAC, the OAS, FAO, UNESCO, the ILO, the IDB, the World Bank, CATIE, the CTA, PAHO, USAID, AECI, the GTZ, CARICOM, academic institutions, the private sector and the United Nations, to name a few.  Theses joint efforts yielded important results under the Institute’s programs related to rural development, trade negotiations, agricultural health and food safety, information, agribusiness promotion, technological innovation, investment projects, environmental management and training.  

Through its Office in Spain, the Institute developed and strengthened new partnerships with the European Commission and the bilateral agencies of the EU.   A new cooperation agreement was signed with the Government of Spain, paving the way for continued IICA operation in Europe.
