He thanked the invited institutions for achieving this goal so that the donation effectively reaches the affected families: “This would not be possible without the collaboration of each of the organizations present here, reliable and experienced entities in emergency management, which will channel the aid to its final beneficiaries,” said the bank's CEO.
Impact monitoring
To ensure the measurement of the impact of the contributions delivered, the beneficiary entities will register the use of the funds delivered by Popular and will submit an execution report to the financial organization.
