About FUSADES:

CCAA has partnered with the Salvadoran Foundation for Economic and Social Development (FUSADES) to co-host this event. FUSADES is a private non-profit organization founded in 1983 by a group of independent entrepreneurs and professionals with the objective of improving El Salvador’s economic and social development.
The foundation is dedicated to the permanent pursuit of the common good with the human being as its raison d’etre. Its work strategy consists of creating and promoting public policy proposals in the economic, social, environmental, and institutional fields, which are then presented to Salvadoran society.

FUSADES’ fundamental goal is to carry out various activities aimed at increasing the economic, social, intellectual and physical well-being of El Salvador’s population, as well as its security, under the framework of a system of economic and individual freedom.
