Silva said, "CAF’s mission is to support the governments of the region and we will continue in this endeavor. In our case, we confirm the Corporation's commitment to the development of Peru, through support for specific programs and projects for the public and private sectors, especially infrastructure projects, but also social development."

She was also head of international operations at Banco de Maracaibo (1988-1990) and head of planning in La Industrial Savings and Loan (1984-1988), both in her native country.
