Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress
Center for Organized Participation, 2005

The Arias Foundation was created by former Costa Rican president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias. The Foundation’s Law and Civil Society Program began in 1993, when it produced case studies of the legal environment for NGOs in each Central American country.

They are currently working to implement draft laws written by the country working groups in five Central American countries.
