Latin American organization

When doing the research of a Latin American organization there were multiple options to choose from, but one of them caught my eye and this was ALOP that stands for “asociacion latinoamericana de organizaciones de promocion al desarrollo”.
ALOP is an association of nongovernmental organization for development; it is constituted by 20 Latin American and Caribbean countries. It was created in 1979, and is one of the most long lasting efforts of regional integration among the other NGO’s of the region.

The main purpose of this organization is the exchange of experiences between Latin American NGO’s and other networks of European NGO’s and organizations, in order to create an environment where the society can actively participate in the integration processes and the intervention and follow up of the relations between the European and Latin American integrations systems. This organization wants to give participation particularly in matters such as human rights, politics, economic and social aspects, poverty and social development.

Some of its purposes includes: the constitution of a place for integration and exchange of the different NGO’s of development; elaborate global and regional development proposals; to establish a proactive relationship with Latin American and Caribbean participants, among others.

As you can see this association is very important because it tries to improve the quality, equity and the participation of Latin American countries by searching for strategies of development and integration.
