    The Inter-American Organization for Higher Education (IOHE)
    IOHE: the only inter-American voice of its kind

    The IOHE is the only university association on an inter-American level; it is also an active member of the International Association of Universities (IAU). 

    The IOHE´s updated mission comprehends its Strategic Orientations, which are based on six principal axes: Human Capital, Common Spaces, Internationalization, Innovation, Governability and Visibility. These are, in turn, shared with similar associations, at a global level. 

    Additionally, the IOHE has reached its objectives, due to its three main tools, the programs: the Institute for University Leadership and Management (IGLU), the College of the Americas and CAMPUS, through which the IOHE has achieved 40 strategic actions, out of 52, planned to be developed and established during the 2011-2016 period. The referred accomplishments were the result of the mobilization of 8 095 participants, who joined these actions and allowed the creation of nine common spaces in the Americas.
