Roberto Dañino earned his law degrees from Harvard Law School. and the Catholic University of Peru. He is also an alumnus of the Georgetown University International Leadership Program.
In 2001, Dañino was nominated to be the Prime Minister of the country. Unlike other countries, the Prime Minister of Peru is not chosen by the electorate, but by the President, before then being ratified by Congress. During his tenure, he led the negotiation of the Acuerdo Nacional, which was a plan to unite the main political parties and leading civil organizations. This was with the aim of agreeing on 30 long-term public policies, all of which would be observed for twenty years after the agreement was signed. The agreement was signed on July 22, 2002, ten days after Dañino left office to become the Ambassador of Peru to the United States. In this role, his primary focuses were on the promotion of a Bilateral Free Trade Agreement between Peru and the USA, which eventually was executed during the Alan Garcia administration, and the culmination of the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act. He left this role in 2003 to become the General Counsel of the World Bank.
