InteRDom is presently recruiting
professors and/or graduate students
with expertise in the area of public
health and development to develop a
report on aspects and current trends
in public health and development in
the Dominican Republic to be
submitted to the United Nations
Commission on Population and

collaboration with Global Foundation
for Democracy and Development and
Fundación Global Democracia y
Desarrollo’s Center for Global
Studies and the Government of the

the UN Department of Economic and
Social Affairs (DESA).
The Center for Global Studies, an
initiative of Global Foundation for
Democracy and Development (GFDD)
and Fundación Global Democracia y
Desarrollo (FUNGLODE),
was established by President
Fernandez in 2009 in order to
coordinate the participation of GFDD
and FUNGLODE before the various
organs, programs and agencies of the
United Nations systems in which it
holds consultative status, as a
means to give greater voice to
issues of particular relevance to
the Dominican Republic and the
region. GFDD and FUNGLODE are
private, non-partisan, non-profit
institutions, created by Dr. Leonel
Fernandez, President of the
Dominican Republic, with the purpose
of formulating innovative and
strategic proposals on global issues
related to national interests that
contribute to the creation of
effective public policies related to
the economic and social development
and democratic consolidation of the
Dominican Republic, Latin America
and the Caribbean.
InteRDom fosters and promotes the
professional, academic, scientific,
technological and cultural exchange
of students and professionals in
public, private and non-profit
organizations of the Dominican
Republic. It significantly
contributes to the development of
the nation’s employment sector and
the advancement of academic
research, while providing spaces for
personal growth,
internationalization and
multicultural understanding.
