Among the announcements made at the beginning of her administration, President Keiko Fujimori included the commitment to promote a “major civil service reform.” The mention deserves attention not for its novelty — Peru has been trying to organize the public career for more than two decades — but because managing those who work for the State is a condition for implementing the other announced proposals. In this regard, the IDB, in its report “How to Improve State Effectiveness in Latin America and the Caribbean” (2026), highlights three decisive capacities to strengthen the civil service.

The Executive has requested Congress to delegate powers to legislate on a wide variety of matters.

In times when the country is once again debating the direction Peru should take, it is hopeful that children, young people, the elderly, and the most vulnerable families are once again taking a central place on the public agenda.

Tourism: the strategic commitment that the next government cannot postpone

Tourism in Peru does not have a supply problem, but a management problem. We have a millenary history, abundant nature, a very high-quality service, and world-renowned gastronomy. However, as an industry, we are still about 30% behind our pre-pandemic levels, while countries like Chile, Brazil, or Colombia have already surpassed them. In other words, other markets in the region are growing steadily and have already surpassed historical records.
