Leveling opportunities across the development ecosystem
OUR AREAS OF ACTION
At Via Plus LATAM, we work across interconnected areas that strengthen development ecosystems and enable purposeful transformation in Costa Rica and beyond.
Our approach integrates environmental and financial sustainability, social cohesion, and data-driven enabling tools that enhance how impact is designed, delivered, and sustained.
Sustainable Transition & Livelihoods

We support climate-resilient and sustainable development models that strengthen territories and local economies. Our work spans biodiversity conservation, sustainable tourism and rural development, and the promotion of resilient productive models.
Human Rights & Governance

We promote inclusive development grounded in human rights, social cohesion, culture, and strong institutions. Our work advances gender equality, inclusive leadership, civic and cultural participation, and resilient health approaches, supporting communities and organizations to engage meaningfully in participatory governance processes.
As cross-cutting enablers, we leverage four interconnected capabilities to maximize the effectiveness, transparency, and sustainability of development initiatives:
Knowledge Management - We capture, systematize, and share learning across projects and partners to strengthen evidence-based decision-making.
Communication - We translate complex development processes into clear, accessible narratives that build trust, visibility, and engagement.
Digital Innovation - We support digital solutions for territories and services, including monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems that improve accountability and continuous improvement.
Resource Mobilization - We identify and pursue strategic funding opportunities, structuring partnerships and proposals that align resources with impact.
How We Work
At Via Plus LATAM, we accompany our partners across the full development cycle, from generating evidence to driving systemic change.
Diagnose Intelligence for Impact
Good decisions start with good evidence. We design and implement diagnostic processes that give organizations and funders a precise picture of where they are, what works, and where resources will have the greatest effect.
- Target population diagnosis
- Project impact evaluation
- Entrepreneurship Assessment
- Social impact entrepreneurship diagnosis
Enable Organizational Readiness for Development
Access to funding is not just about having a good idea, it requires the right organizational infrastructure. We strengthen the internal capacity of organizations so they are ready to compete, comply, and deliver.
- Organizational due diligence
- Requirements management for funding calls
Deliver Implementation and Project Management
We take projects from paper to reality. Our team manages the full implementation cycle with technical and administrative rigor, so funders can trust their resources are being used effectively and partners can focus on impact.
- Project management and execution at call level
- Project management and execution at implementation level
- Consortium coordination
- Funder reporting and follow-up
Transform From Project to Systemic Change
Field results are most valuable when they inform what comes next. We convert evidence from the ground into lasting change in policy, in norms, and in behavior.
- P2P: A structured methodology that turns field evidence into actionable public policy and regulatory change.
- Soft power tool (behavioral psychology + AI)
