Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama contribute to the site, which hosts pages organized by subject matter and managed by groups and institutions interested in specific topics.
The pages operate as communities of practice. IICA supplies the technological platform and provides other support through its Offices in the countries.

The resources shared on the portals include, depending on the stage of development of each, spaces for discussion and communication, information on events and activities, as well as the storage of conceptual documents, tools, methodologies, systematized experiences, work materials, etc.
