Panamerican Innovation And Economic Research Institute

Programs: We improved our website and social media components to share our successful international development models and our examples of how u. S. Companies can more efficiently target social responsibility funds to alleviate poverty while taking into account overall business objectives. Our csr model and innovative programs are shared online for the benefit of the general public, businesses, government, educational institutions, and other nonprofits.

csr and sustainable development innovations: we partnered with a u. S. Coffee company to raise donations to support a local library and elementary schools in the same colombian community that produces the coffee sold and served by the company. We helped start or expand two colombian micro-enterprises by introducing them to a solar light bulb produced for sale by a u. S. Company, and we identified these micro-distributors by providing solar light bulbs to poor, rural families that did not have electricity. We helped two women-owned micro-enterprises by providing capital equipment: one sewing machine and one ice cream machine. We forged a relationship with an isolated indigenous tribe deep in the amazon basin to assist them with sustainable development initiatives that we may link to collaborative csr projects in the future. We built a trial elevated garden in an orphanage with 63 kids to develop a method of on-site production of essential vegetables. The goal with this pilot garden is to develop a csr solutions for u. S. Companies that seek to build or expand business relationships in regions suffering from malnutrition. Our collaborative csr projects alleviate poverty while providing a framework for u. S. Companies to build valuable relationships in the global marketplace.

program against human trafficking & security conference in israel: we developed a unique program against human trafficking that uses supply chain relationships to help local people vet employment offers made by potential traffickers. Pier authored a scholarly paper on this model which we presented at an international symposium at johns hopkins university. We also participated in an international security conference in israel as we explore the use of our corporate social responsibility (csr) model as a way of mitigating or eliminating the motive for terror attacks by local populations against multinational private sector targets (i. E. , collaborative poverty-alleviation projects build relationships that discourage violence. )

we created our "pier classport" program which allows our teams working in the field to connect via video chat to students in u. S. Classrooms. This real-time connection of classrooms to field work supports education on subjects like economics, international trade, culture, language, the environment, and sustainable development.

we made more than 5 educational presentations at public events in the u. S. To educate citizens on how u. S. Companies can maintain or increase the employment of americans by building relationships in foreign markets through sustainable development csr projects.
