Joint Effort for Costa
Rica
An important group of
firms proposed joining
hands with state
institutions in order to
meet the leading
challenges that Costa
Rica faces.
The project is aimed at
improving the access to
employment and the
productivity of Costa
Rican labor, promoting
public health and the
proper use of water, and
the development of
communities. In a first
stage, the Water
Institution, the Bank of
Costa Rica and the Costa
Rican Petroleum Refinery
will play a major role
in the project.
The private sector
representatives include
Intel, Bridgestone
Firestone, Chiquita
Brands, and several
other large
corporations.
“We are not making any breakthroughs, but we want companies to have a
positive impact in the
community,” project
chairman Jorge Nowalski
said.
