Directors
Rimisp’s Executive Directorate has as its central objective to guide the strategic guidelines of the organization and to ensure that the mission, vision and institutional objectives are fulfilled, while complying with the high standards of quality and efficiency that characterize the institution. Our operational structure will consist of a collegial body composed of the directors of Rimisp’s five country offices, under the coordination of Carlos Córdoba, director of the Colombia office. This new structure seeks to respond to the challenges of flexibility and relevance imposed by the current situation and an agenda that is increasingly linked to territorial processes in each country, without losing the regional stamp and the capacity for innovation and renewal on which the Centre bases its prestige and trajectory.
