University of Oxford and CAF seal strategic alliance

During his visit, García signed a cooperation agreement with Timothy J. Power, Director of the Latin-American Centre of the University of Oxford, encouraging both institutions to combine efforts in the generation and diffusion of knowledge on Latin America, as an essential tool for economic and social development of the region.

"CAF has the highest interest in promoting the generation of knowledge so as to foster an integrated development agenda. This in turn will offer solid support to governments on the design and implementation of public policies and the promotion of regional consensus”, García said. "This strategic alliance with a partner as prestigious as the University of Oxford will strengthen our network of global alliances and widen the scope of our intellectual activity for the benefit of our 18 shareholder countries".

The Director the Latin-American Centre of the University of Oxford said "The Latin American Centre has a longstanding interest in the economic and social development of the region, we hope this collaboration contributes to promote new funding opportunities for exciting research and teaching on Latin America and a dynamic partnership from both institutions."

The agreement between CAF and the University of Oxford will promote applied research, and will allow the diffusion of knowledge, as well as intellectual exchange among both continents.
