POST-WAR CENTRAL AMERICA
A Vision for the Future

Full Description | Team Biographies

The Post-War Central America site is coordinated by Carlos Walker and Paul Fervoy. Mr. Walker, a graduate of Oberlin College, is a program officer at the Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress, established by former Costa Rican president and 1987 Nobel Peace laureate Oscar Arias to promote peaceful and just societies in Central America. The Foundation works through three main program areas: peace and demilitariztion, gender equity, and organizing civil society. In addition to the Weblab project, Mr. Walker coordinates an Arias Foundation initiative to promote an International Code of Conduct on Arms Transfers. Written and signed by fifteen Nobel Peace laureates, the Code seeks to make respect for human rights, humanitarian law, and democracy guiding international criteria for all arms sales.

Paul Fervoy, is a native of Racine, Wisconsin and graduate of the University of Wisconsin's Latin American Studies Program. Over the past five years, he has worked in Costa Rica with two regional not-for-profit, non-governmental development organizations in programs that provide technical assistance toward strengthening the organizations of the civil sector thoughout the region; the Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress and the Fundación Acceso. As coordinator of the Fundación Acceso's Strategic Communications Program, he coordinates the Central American Electronic Libraries Project - MetaBase, and works directly with not-for-profit organizations in developing Internet presence and local content. Mr. Fervoy is the co-owner of the Costa Rican Internet Service Provider, InterNexo, which recently completed a project called Capitales & Mercados that involved placing Costa Rican stock market data and analysis online for the first time.

The project coordinators invite those wishing to contribute testimonials of their experiences and perspectives on the theme of "Post-War Central America" and US citizens' groups' involvement to please write to Carlos Walker.
