First Afro-descendant National Assembly of the Afro-Uruguayan community
The First National Afro-descendant Assembly was born from a joint work space at the national level under the name of "National Debate on the Situation of the Afro-Uruguayan Community: Realities and Constructions in Perspective". From this space the National Coordination of Organizations, Organized Groups and Independent Social Militants of African descent was born, which also organized the First National Assembly. It was conceived as a space for horizontal debate, with the aim of strengthening the organization of groups of Afro-descendants in order to establish a political agenda and guidelines for participation and economic and social inclusion, contemplating the elaboration of a road map and the creation of a coordination space. It was attended by about 200 people, including representatives of government institutions and ministries.
