Daniel Cordova is currently the dean of the Graduate School at Universidad del Pacifico (Lima, Peru), and President of Instituto Invertir.
The EmpredeAhora program was specifically designed by Instituto Invertir and CIPE as a response to a lack of confidence in democracy and the free market economy. The program provides an alternative to the negative image of the private sector and entrepreneurship among youth, especially those from low-income families located in the countryside. Instituto Invertir selects 100-200 students from a pool of applicants to attend three sessions of three days each at the Universidad del Pacifico in Lima. In this video blog, Daniel Cordova provides a personal perspective on why Instituto Invertir felt the need for the program, and how program alumni have far exceeded expectations.
