The EU-LAT Network is a pluralistic network of European movements and organizations that promote solidarity between the people of Latin America and Europe. The network was founded on October 11, 2017 after two European networks – CIFCA (Copenhagen Initiative for Central America and Mexico) and Grupo Sur – decided to join forces in order to strengthen their advocacy actions to promote participatory European policies, with a gender perspective, that contributes to the comprehensive respect for human rights, democratization and sustainable development in Latin America.
CIFCA was founded in 1991 as a diverse network of European civil society movements and organizations that promotes solidarity among Central America, Mexico and Europe. It aimed at promoting participatory European policies that contribute to the respect and protection of human rights, participatory democracy and sustainable and inclusive development in Central America and Mexico. Grupo Sur was a political alliance between European NGOs that share objectives and strategies for building solidarity alternatives for development aid between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean. Grupo Sur carries out awareness raising activities and advocacy work with the EU and its member states from a feminist and human rights perspective.
