ORGANIZATIONAL CHART BOARD OF DIRECTORS President: Susana Checa Vice-president: Lila Pastoriza Treasurer: Ricardo Ortiz First Voting Member: Ana Palazzesi Second Voting Member: Lila Pastoriza Regular Auditor: Eduardo Jozami Alternate Auditor: Albertina Carri Executive Director: Jorge Carpio The fulfillment and performance of activities according to an agreed plan is conducted by a Board of Directors. Each activity is carried out by different workteams, organized into five Programmes and two Supporting Bodies: • Observatory for Neighbourhood Monitoring Programme: this programme represents an essential working tool for FOCO INPADE, as it helps promoting the full exercise of human rights in neighbourhoods and local communities deeply affected by extreme poverty and destitution. The main task of this programme is to make the population and organizations aware of their rights, making necessary contributions in order to have them properly fulfilled. • Programme for Environment and Human Rights: this programme promotes an evaluation of social and environmental development policies, doing research on environmental issues regarding poor sectors both in Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires, and the impact of such issues in population and their living conditions; it also promotes environmental care and health, collaborating with governmental institutions, trying to meet goals and policies related to sustainable development and, at the same time, strengthening relations with social groups going through environmental problems. • Observatory for Transnational Corporations Programme: this programme aims at the monitoring of transnational corporations and their attitude towards employees, labour conditions, environment, gender policies and social integration regarding native groups of inhabitants and other non-protected social groups. In order to protect and defend the environment this Programme follows specific guidelines taking Norms on the Responsibilities of Transnational Corporations and other Business and Enterprises with Regard to Human Rights as a point of reference, along with International Labour Organization conventions, OECD guidelines and other international agreements. • Programme for Gender, Rights and Equity: the main goal is to eradicate all kinds of discrimination, specially against women, trying to achieve gender equity and the full exercise of human rights. • In 2001, after the 3rd Summit of the Americas was held in Quebec, a System of indicators for monitoring regional integration processes was created, in order to determine the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). After the ALCA withdrawal and the implementation of new policies, the programme was redirected towards different priorities. The Supporting Bodies are as follows: • Press and Communication Area • Legal Counselling Area |
