Global Afro Latino and Caribbean Initiative

The Global Afro Latino and Caribbean Initiative (GALCI) "was creative by non-governmental organizations from Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States of America dedicated to correcting the persisting inequities that have had devastating impact on the lives of African descendants in the Americas -- a direct result of more than four hundred years of the enslavement that brought more than 15 million Africans forcibly to the Americas.

"Created in October 2000 the objectives of GALCI has been to make the lives of more than 150 million African Descendants in Latin America, Central and the Caribbean visible and part of the international dialogue, programmatic agenda of global multilateral organizations and part of public and private policy initiatives of global governments that are home to this vast population."
