INCAE ON SUSTAINABILITY

Central America Private Sector
Initiative (CAPSI)
Networks
CAPSI, which ran from 2011-2014, was an initiative
of a group of business leaders in Central America
and Panama who sought to propose and discuss
solutions to the region’s critical problems from a
regional development perspective. The group focused
on three main areas: facilitation of cross-border trade,
citizenship safety, and the reliability of electricity for
development and competitiveness.
Partners in this initiative were: The Spanish Fund for
Latin America and the Caribbean (Ministry of Economy
and Competitiveness of the Government of Spain), the
Wilson Center, the World Bank, the Embassy of the
United States of America in Costa Rica, and the IDB.
Several discussion tables, forums, documents, case
studies, business summits and meetings took place
to discuss topics such as logistics in Central America;
Mesoamerican business sector perspectives; private
sector and regional civil society perspectives on
inclusive sustainable development; a strategic path
for customs offices in Costa Rica; and corruption—the
challenge of protecting institutions, security costs and
the impact of corruption on economic activity.
