MEIG was the bridge that connected my local perspective with a global vision

Mr. Kevin Andrés Villacis Flores, MEIG Graduate 2025-2026, Ecuador

Coming from a background focused on economics and data analysis, MEIG was the bridge that connected my local perspective with a global vision. It allowed me to deepen my understanding of international law and economics while sharpening the tools I had already been developing, turning data into insights and insights into policy-relevant action. What made MEIG particularly valuable for me was how closely it reflects the realities of multilateral work. Engaging with diverse perspectives, tackling complex global challenges, and constantly linking theory with practice prepared me for the kind of environment I had always aimed to work in. Today, as I move into the multilateral space, I can clearly see how MEIG shaped that path. It not only strengthened my technical and analytical skills but also gave me the confidence and perspective to contribute to global institutions with a clear sense of purpose.
