Opening the Peace Process to Afro-Colombian Stakeholders (English)

A Colombia Peace Forum

With Colombian public support waning for the peace talks between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the peace process can be strengthened by finding ways to engage a broader set of civil society stakeholders.  One important group excluded so far, the Afro-Colombian population, is working to have its needs and proposals heard at the peace table.  How can Afro-Colombians and other excluded groups enhance their participation in the process, and what are the risks if they cannot? Join the U.S. Institute of Peace on May 26 for a discussion of these questions in the next session in the Colombia Peace Forum series.
