Mastercard Hosts Partnership for Central America on Economic Development in Central America
Executive Director Jonathan Fantini Porter participated in Mastercard and the Aspen Institute's Global Inclusive Growth Summit
Mastercard is a founding member of the Partnership for Central America, having committed to work together with partner organizations such as Microsoft, Nespresso, and Accion, among others to expand banking services to 5 million individuals and digitalize 1 million micro and small businesses across the Northern Triangle. Mastercard’s commitment to the region has roots in the company’s history of developing innovative digital solutions to support the world’s most vulnerable populations and improve livelihoods.
The Partnership for Central America is a non-profit organization created in response to a Call to Action by Vice President Kamala Harris, in her role overseeing diplomacy towards the Northern Triangle and Mexico. The Partnership aims to coordinate practical solutions to advance economic opportunity, address urgent climate, education and health challenges, and promote long-term investments and workforce capability in support of a vision of hope for Central America.
Partnership members make significant commitments to help send hope to the people of the region and sustainably address the root causes of migration by promoting economic opportunity.
