FHI Bolivia's work is done in a number of zones based out of the two regional offices in Sucre and Cochabamba. Zones generally consist of a number of communities in one specific region accessible in one day or less of travel. Within these zones operate teams of FHI Bolivia staff. These teams are made up of individuals drawn together towards a common goal: to transform the realities of whole communities by combating poverty in all its forms.

Each individual brings a specialization to the team such as agriculture, public health, engineering, social work, etc. Generally, zonal teams live and work together in the communities, coordinating their activities between programs to be able to address needs at many different levels. Team members live twenty days in the communities each month, and most speak the local languages of Quechua or Aymara.

Eliberto Sivila, an agricultural engineer, is part of the Confital zonal team. He shares the purpose toward which his team is working: "The vision of our group is to be a team of excellence, leaders in the integral development of the region, and valued for our example of life and work."
