FOSTERING PEOPLE-FIRST DIPLOMACY IN THE AMERICAS
The Center for Engagement and Advocacy in the Americas fosters regional collaboration to enhance the rights, well-being, and dignity of people across the region.
OUR WORK
CEDA is a non-partisan, non-profit organization focused on collaborative and impactful solutions across the Americas. CEDA strives to elevate Latin America and the Caribbean and amplify the voices of those affected by policies, advocating for a diverse agenda encompassing economic, social, and environmental justice. We bridge the gap between policy and people, fostering inclusive approaches to address root causes and create lasting impact.
As challenges like political violence, displacement, and climate change cross national borders, regional solutions are crucial. With 18 years of promoting regional cooperation, our mission goes beyond advocacy to building partnerships based on respect and dialogue. These partnerships lead to policies that uphold the voices, rights, dignity, and well-being of individuals throughout the Americas.
