Overview<\/b><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”25″ down=”0″][vc_column_text css=””]From 2017 to 2024, Echo Collins-Egan worked with RE!NSTITUTE (formerly Rapid Results Institute), where she founded and led the organization’s Latin America justice work. She introduced the 100-Day Challenge methodology to the region’s criminal justice systems, mobilising over $4.7 million USD for the Latin America portfolio, and designed programming across three countries. Echo later became RE!NSTITUTE\u2019s Chief Impact Officer from 2021 to 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

This case study documents the work accomplished during her tenure at RE!NSTITUTE, which continues to implement 100-Day Challenges around the world. For more information about the organisation\u2019s work: re-institute.org<\/span><\/p>\n

Pepe Chanona was also a key part of this work – that is what brought us together!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Challenge:<\/b> Latin American justice systems face endemic impunity, with struggling institutions unable to serve victims or deliver fair outcomes. Skeptics claimed “this [methodology] won’t work here” \u2014 that Mexico’s criminal justice system was too different, too broken, too entrenched to change.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”25″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
