- Through advocacy for governmental infrastructure for peace, the Rasur Foundation is proposing initiatives that create permanent government infrastructure for peace. This includes a bill to create a Ministry of Justice and Peace, which was embraced by the Costa Rican government administration and will soon come to vote before the Legislative Assembly.

- The Rasur Foundation collaborates with the Costa Rican government and other NGOs in peace promotion events in order to reinforce the nation’s identification with peace. Two celebrations are of particular importance each year: the International Day of Peace (September 21) and the Season for Nonviolence (January 30-April 4).
