Value proposition

A public-private partnership with the State Department coordinating foreign direct and ESG investments to the Americas

The Partnership is a response to the Call to Action issued May 27, 2021 by Vice President Kamala Harris for businesses and social enterprises to make new, significant commitments to help send a signal of hope to the people of the region and sustainably address the root causes of migration by promoting economic opportunity.

The State Department, in coordination with the Partnership for Central America, will manage follow-up to this Call to Action. In this work, the Partnership will work to support private sector efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration from Central America through coordinated, sustained, and transparent impact across the region through four key actions:

Coordinate.

Coordinating private sector partners to ensure sustained progress through strategic and high-impact initiatives aligned to social impact goals.

Facilitate.

Facilitating joint ventures between new and existing partners across global public, private, and social sectors.

Convene.

Convening public forums and facilitating discussions on challenges, trends, and progress toward aspired social impact goals.

Track.

Compiling performance metrics and evaluations to track program effectiveness and identify key trends.
