Hamburg/Guatemala City - HRNS opens office in Guatemala City/Guatemala! In Central America, HRNS has so far been represented by E.D.E. Consulting in San José, Costa Rica since 2006. The positive development of project work in the region, expressed by a continuous growth of activities and an expanding network of dedicated cooperating partners suggests a strategic upgrading of our organization's setup. The management has therefore decided to establish a regional office in Guatemala City and move its representation from Costa Rica where the office will be closed. The new office will now be responsible for all countries in Latin America with the exception of Brazil.

The regional office consists of the following management team:

• Verena Fischersworring, Regional Representative HRNS
• Mauro Garcia, Director Public Relations and Projects
• Miguel Ramirez, Director Monitoring and Projects
• Pablo Ruiz, Expert in Monitoring & Evaluation

We would like to thank Jan von Enden for his efforts in the establishment of the local structure and network of HRNS during the past 4 years. Since January 2010, Jan is working out of Hamburg, Germany, to strengthen the management team of HRNS. He will overlook the operations in Latin America and will additionally assume responsibility for strategic work of HRNS by consolidating and further developing tools and instruments for project work.
