The Team
In recent years, we have reorganized the team to align it more closely with our Theory of Change. This transformation included updating roles and creating an assessment model that seeks to strengthen the capabilities of the people who are part of lpas LAC and improve our collective impact.

Currently, the organization is led by an Interim Co-Directorship, comprised of two departments:
- Deputy Directorate of Programs, which oversees the sub-directorates of Knowledge Management, Communications, Strengthening, and Advocacy.
- Deputy Directorate of Institutional Development, which oversees the sub-directorates of Finance and Accounting, and Human Relations.
Both directorates work transversally with the Resource Mobilization Subdirectorate, ensuring that each action is aligned with our vision of reproductive justice. With a committed and strategic team, we approach each challenge with the conviction of transforming realities and advancing reproductive justice in the region.
Learn more about our structure and the team driving this transformation.
