Technical cooperation provided me skills to know and work with labor actors in Central America and Dominican Republic –government, employees and workers, both national and global ones-.I have been working as well at sectorial level, strengthening social dialogue and promoting compliance with supporting productivity through value chain: since 2009 I have been working closely at sectorial level (agro, construction, retail enterprises), strengthening labor relations in different areas, like productivity, gender, migration, safety and health condition, and promotion of framework agreements. In 2011 I was in charge of a project implementing PROMES methodology in sugar cane sector in El Salvador, Honduras and Dominican Republic: such specific tools improved compliance through value chain, strengthened social dialogue and participation, and generated benefits for employers and workers. In 2018 promotion of SCORE methodology in agricultural sector of Costa Rica have been accepted by labor actors –both employers and workers-, and it will be implemented at MNE in Costa Rica.
