Fundacion Compromiso was founded in 1994 to strengthen the social impact of projects led by NGOs, individuals, and cross-sector alliances in Argentina and the region. Inspired by the management philosophy of Peter Drucker, the Foundation has worked for three decades to help changemakers understand their purpose, serve their communities effectively, and measure the social value they create. In 2018, the Foundation launched Potrero Digital, a response to a challenge identified by renowned film producer Juan Jose Campanella: Argentina lacked trained talent in digital skills for the audiovisual industry. The problem was not a lack of capacity - but a lack of access. Potrero Digital was created to transform inequality into inclusion by providing free digital training that opens pathways to education and employment for people from vulnerable communities. What began as an initiative to connect local talent with the digital economy has evolved into a nationwide network that empowers thousands through technology, education, and opportunity. Potrero Digital is a free training network in digital skills that drives social inclusion and employability through technology education. Since 2018, more than 41,000 people have completed our programs, achieving a 55% job placement rate in the technology sector. In partnership with global leaders such as Google, AWS, and Cisco, we provide training in digital trades, technical English, and socio-emotional skills for individuals facing socioeconomic barriers. Our hybrid learning model combines online and in-person instruction, ensuring real and accessible opportunities for all participants. Through Potrero Empleos, our job placement platform, we connect graduates with IT companies seeking emerging talent. Potrero Digital not only teaches technology - it creates opportunities, strengthens career pathways, and transforms lives.
En La Poderosa, el cambio lo lideran las personas mas afectadas por la exclusion. Todas las iniciativas son disenadas, implementadas y evaluadas por los propios residentes. No prestamos servicios, sino que desarrollamos capacidades para que las comunidades sean plenamente duenas de sus soluciones. Nuestros valores guian la forma en que nos organizamos, decidimos y actuamos: Las asambleas vecinales autogestionadas impulsan todas las decisiones. Los miembros de la comunidad hablan por si mismos, como portavoces, promotores de salud o fundadores de cooperativas. En toda America Latina, vecinos y voluntarios se unen para defender los derechos y mejorar la vida cotidiana. La solidaridad y el respeto impulsan todo, desde comedores populares hasta centros culturales, cooperativas y escuelas. La Poderosa es un laboratorio de alternativas construidas por la comunidad. Desde cooperativas de economia solidaria hasta presupuestos participativos, estamos probando modelos que desafian los sistemas extractivos y reimaginan como se puede organizar la sociedad.

Violence and the threat of violence prevents ordinary people from exercising their full range of human rights. In many countries around the world, there is widespread impunity for torture, arbitrary executions, and other grave violations. Human rights and international humanitarian law violations are frequently committed or facilitated by state officials using specialist law enforcement and security weapons, equipment, and techniques. At the same time, key stakeholders lack sufficient information about these tools and their impact on people's rights. Without more information, oversight will continue to be insufficient, accountability unobtainable, and the trade in these weapons and equipment will remain largely unregulated. In response, the Omega Research Foundation investigates and exposes the global manufacture, trade, procurement, testing, and use of law enforcement and security weapons, equipment, and techniques, as well as related human rights and international humanitarian law violations. We provide expert analysis and policy proposals to strengthen national, regional, and international controls and share our specialist knowledge with key stakeholders, including through training, briefings, capacity building, and technical assistance. Omega's work empowers a wide range of actors with the knowledge needed to provide effective oversight and advocate for change. We work with international and regional institutions, state institutions and political figures, NGOs and human rights monitors, journalists, judges and other legal professionals, private entities, unions, and law enforcement agencies. In doing so, Omega helps to ensure that controls related to the manufacture, trade, procurement, testing, and use of weapons, equipment, and techniques are human rights-compliant; that these controls are effectively implemented and monitored; and that those who perpetrate violations are held to account. Omega's work contributes to four of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 5 (Gender Equality), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
