National representatives of Afro-American social organisations and personalities have been meeting from August 25 to June 27 to agree with the programs, agreements and strategic actions of the National Inclusion Plan and to discuss actions for the Afro-American population at the 6th Afro-American National Meeting that takes place under the motto "Commitments and Responsibilities to the Afro-Panamanian Transformer Action Plan."

The global economic, technological, social and cultural situation will be analysed through conferences, dialogues, workshops and workshops so as to have an overall context of the Afro-African environment and to translate national challenges and projections in the short and medium term with the goal of a transformative programme of action.

Enrique Noel, director of Cultural Rights and Citizenship at the Ministry of Culture (MiCultura), emphasized "the value of the motto of this meeting, which should lead to a visibility of the consequences of discrimination and inequality to build a resilient and resilient society to produce a future where nobody remains."

"A number of laws have been put in place and have been put into place and have been built up to fight and overcome these inequalities, but we have to work more on inclusion and disability issues to improve access to citizen rights," Noel added.

The meeting aims at repairing an agenda with the main social demands of Afro-Panamanian people, to be submitted to the presidential candidates of the 2024 elections and to seal with each of them an agreement to meet our community's main expectations, short-, middle- and long-term.

He responded to Natalia Kamén, regional director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and opened the event, emphasizing that this forum represents a great resolve within the decade of nations and that it's very important because it shows that we are ready to work with you and so I call to be visible and to be recognized. "

For his part, Gerardo Maloney, sociologist, writer and coordinator of the Afro-Panamanian Forum stated that "this event should be a dialogue of collective discussion where we have a responsibility to give ourselves the necessary elements so that we can discern as a movement and contribute, as have our leaders earlier to build our future."
