CIPR focuses on issues of importance to Latin America and inter-American relations. Although this implies a dynamic agenda that will constantly evolve, its focus broadly encompasses aspects of political and human development as well as inter-American relations.

For this purpose, it engages business and civic leaders as well as members of the broader community in discussions related to its interest areas.
