At VAI, we have a group of experts and allies in all Latin American countries and Spain. Likewise, we have established strategic alliances with several of Washington's most prestigious Lobby firms. Our activity facilitates the interaction between organizations, companies, or individuals and the public sector, including the government and its institutions. This interaction may include communication strategies to influence political and public decision-making; representation and defense of the interests of organizations or individuals before the government and its agencies; collaboration and coordination with governments to implement programs and policies; and analysis and evaluation of public policies and regulations and their impact on organizations or individuals.

​

In short, we focus on the interaction between the public and private sectors and how these interactions can affect decision-making and the outcome of public policies and regulations. Our methodology includes the following:

​

• Public policy advice: Evaluation and analysis of policies and regulations to help organizations understand and respond to them.

• Relations with the government: Representation and advocacy before authorities and government officials to promote the interests of the organizations.

• Communication strategies: Development of messages and campaigns to influence public opinion and political decisions.
