The Latin American and Caribbean Privatization Network is an instrument to facilitate dialogue and the exchange of information, ideas and experiences among the privatization managers of the 28 Member States of SELA. The objective pursued by this network is to promote regular informal meetings of the officials responsible for privatization policies in Latin America and the Caribbean in order to form a "privatizer's club" where these senior government officials can analyze the privatization issue with the necessary distance, objectivity and depth.
The Latin American and Caribbean Privatization Network was created in January 1996, by means of Statutes adopted in the framework of the First Latin American and Caribbean Privatization Conference and is integrated by the managers of privatization units, private sector, investment banks, consulting companies, regional and international organizations, and bilateral development agencies, as well as academic and labour experts and parliamentarians.
The Executive Committee of the Network is actually made up of:
Chairman: Manuel Rivera Mella,
Executive Director of the Administrative Business System (SAE).
Administrative Committee of the Branch Offices of the Corporation of the Production Development (CORFO) of Chile.
