Cippec

Center for the Implementation of Public Policies Promoting Equity and Growth (CIPPEC) is a private, non-profit organization that strives to create a more just, democratic, and efficient State in Argentina to improve the quality of life for all Argentine citizens. CIPPEC was formed in September 2000 when eleven young professionals, from various fields and with differing political points of view, saw the need for Argentina to be a more just and developed country. They decided to come together to create a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of public policies in Argentina and Latin America. Specifically, they envisioned that CIPPEC would help turn sound ideas into concrete policies in the areas of education, public health, justice, transparency, and public spending, there by setting itself apart from other NGOs. Our work today, only 20 years after Argentina's return to democracy, remains more valuable than ever, as we are in the midst of the gravest social and economic crisis in our country's history. CIPPEC is focused on helping to solve some of the country's greatest challenges: deterioration of education and public health; scarce access to justice; weak political institutions; corruption; and fiscal insolvency. At CIPPEC, we believe that only an active civil society and a more just, responsible, effective, and transparent State will create an Argentina that not only can be integrated into the world but also addresses the needs of its citizens, enabling all Argentines to develop to their full potential.
