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.
