Strategic Context:

Corus International in LAC is implementing a regional strategy to deepen engagement with the private sector and expand its role as a strategic partner in delivering innovative solutions for health, livelihoods, and technology for development.

Historically, Corus and many development organizations have been perceived primarily as donor-funded implementers. However, the evolving development landscape—combined with growing corporate focus on ESG and shared-value models—has created significant new opportunities for organizations that can deliver integrated, evidence-based solutions at scale.

To support this transition, Corus LAC is transcending their traditional “project-based” visibility model and requires a sohpisticated positioning strategy that helps establish us as a high-value, trusted partner capable of deliver integrated, evidence-based solutions that align with corporate CSR/ESG priorities.

Corus LAC’s 2025 market assessment reveals clear demand from corporate actors seeking partners who can integrate innovation into large-scale programs. This presents a critical opportunity for Corus to strengthen its market position and establish itself as a trusted innovation and solutions partner for the regional private sector.

corporate stakeholders and expand private sector partnerships across Central and South America.

• Define a visibility plan and digital penetration plan: Increase presence in relevant corporate spaces across LAC, including but not limited to networks, forums, chambers, and accelerated social media strategies to reach decision makers in Central and South America.
