Leonard, Acting Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean Race and Ethnicity in National Building: The Case of Afro-Latin Americans in Latin America: A USAID Perspective Civil Society Task Force and Organization of Africans in the Americas Washington, D.C. June 27, 2000 I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you today about a topic important to us all: the role of development assistance in fostering racial and ethnic inclusion in our hemisphere. This topic is a critical component of all democracy-building efforts. Building more inclusive societies is not only a human rights and moral imperative for the still fragile democracies of Latin America and the Caribbean, but also key to maximizing the resources of these growing economies. Historically, control over the economies and governments of the Americas has been exclusive. The roots of this exclusion can be traced back to the beginning of the colonial era, and the mercantilist tendencies of that era. Exclusive management of first colonial and then national economies marginalized groups of indigenous and African descent. Until recently, the lack of economic participation has gone hand-in-hand with the absence of political participation.

53. Discriminating Important Hispanic Groups Vs Opportunities Hispanic/latinos in the United States and latin americans desperately needNGO organizations like our Foundation that understand their sensitiveness http://www.theamericas.org/important_hispani.htm

Home Important Hispanic American Groups Discriminated Vs Opportunities by Victor Pinzon Washington, DC July 20, 2000 Hispanic Americans are the fastest growing ethnic community in the United States. Today Hispanics may be 35 million. The US Census projects Hispanics will be 98 million in 2050 and about 190 million by 2100 of the total population of the US. Hispanics contribute substantially to the economic and tax base of the US economy, security and growth. But Hispanics are not getting their fair share of the big socio-economic-political pie they help to make. Hispanics and certain important Hispanic groups continue to be ignored and shut out of the process where policy is made and even implemented. This is not fair and certainly no democratic. "Taxation without representation is no democracy." Furthermore, Hispanics need specific outreaching to programs and resources to engage them to be even more significant participants and contributors. The Americas Foundation after substantial evaluation and studies finds that, Hispanic Americans, as back in their countries, are strong family oriented and with some rich diverse cultural traits, but beyond the family they are not community oriented nor strong community builders. Hispanic/Latinos, just as in their countries of origin, traditionally do not participate in certain critical community activities, particularly educational, philanthropy, economic community development and civil-political community activities. Hispanic/Latinos are polarized by country of origin with deep divisions and conflicts among each country community. There are at least twenty one such countries. Additionally, Hispanics historically have and continue discriminating among themselves a trait brought with them, along with other undesirable behavioral patterns, from their countries of origin.

March 1, 2001 Organization name: Aid For AIDS Founded: Executive Director: Jesus Aguais Address: 515 Greenwich Street, Suite #506, New York, NY 10013 Phone: Fax: E-mail: aid4aids@aol.com URL: http://www.aidforaids.org Mission: To improve the quality of life through treatment, education, and medicines for Latin Americans living with HIV and AIDS. Background: Aid For AIDS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded to support the clinical care of HIV-infected Latin Americans living in the United States and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Aid For AIDS disseminates state-of-the-art treatment information to both HIV-infected individuals and their health care providers and assists its clients in obtaining life-saving medications for the treatment of HIV infection and its associated opportunistic pathogens. The organization provides case management services for HIV-infected Latin American immigrants living in New York City and serves as a liaison between its clients and specialized social workers adept at linking HIV immigrants to medical care and pharmaceutical assistance programs. Equally important, Aid For AIDS collects HIV medication and supplies that are no longer needed in the United States and distributes them to needy individuals in Latin American countries, where HIV drugs are priced beyond the reach of most HIV-infected patients. The organization also works to educate health care officials and community-based organizations in Latin American countries about the importance of strengthening the medical infrastructure for basic HIV/AIDS care. While the increasing availability of antiretroviral therapies (HAART) has reduced AIDS morbidity in the U.S., the situation in Latin American is much more grim. Most doctors and caregivers do not have up-to-date medical information, and fear and ignorance continue to impede access to education and treatment for most HIV/AIDS patients in these countries.

A Historical Review By Frank del Olmo I have been asked to focus this essay on the long, unresolved and perhaps unresolvable controversy over the use of the terms Hispanic and Latino among the 35 million-plus people of Latin-American origin who live in this country. As well, I have been asked to address an even older controversy over a third term, Chicano. Of course, these disparate folks already used many different terms to refer to themselves and their compatriots of Latin-American origin, such as Boricua, Cubano, Mexicano, Tejano and Chicano. So little wonder that the imposition of the official term Hispanic spawned controversy almost immediately.

Return Home The IMF Strikes Out on Brazil by Brett D. Schaefer and John P. Sweeney Executive Memorandum #569 The financial crisis that crippled Brazil in January despite a preemptive international bailout last November further discredits the lending policies of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)policies supporters claimed would solve the global financial crisis. Brazil's inability to avoid devaluating its currency on January 13 confirms lessons the global community should have learned in Asia and Russia last year: The IMF's lending policies harm, rather than help, economies; keep them from instituting sound financial policies on their own; and undermine support for free trade. Instead of continuing support for IMF bailout packages, the Clinton Administration should pursue solutions that specifically address the financial problems in each country. A Record of Failure.

Created 18 months ago in June 2000, the IAC achieved an important measure of institutional development in 2001. It recruited its first executive director, continued to expand its membership and financial base, established a regular schedule of meetings for its members, and began to build strong links with key institutions in both Washington and the region. The IAC played a significant role in Washington discussions about the UN World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, both prior to and following the conference in Durban, South Africa. We also sponsored a number of important events in Washington to bring attention to the challenges of race relations and discrimination in Latin America and give increased voice to Afro-Latin American groups. Background Four institutions-the Ford Foundation, Inter-American Development Bank, Inter-American Dialogue, and World Bank-established the IAC in June 2000, and it has now expanded to include 10 institutions. With the Dialogue serving as its secretariat, the IAC was designed as a mechanism for its participants to share information and analyses about the situation of Latin Americans of African descent; assure that member institutions are well-informed about each others' programs and plans; bring greater national and regional attention to the special problems of Afro-Latin Americans, in the United States and throughout Latin America; conduct joint activities of mutual interest; and maintain a dialogue with Afro-Latin American leaders and institutions in the region. The IAC was also intended to serve as an independent source of new information, analysis, and ideas on issues affecting Afro-Latin Americans. Progress has been made in each of these areas.

November 4 London Diabetes Clinic Receives Award for Nonprofit Innovation A London-based solution to the high incidence of diabetes among Latin Americans was recognized nationally on Friday, November 1 by the Peter F. Drucker Canadian Foundation. The program is a partnership between Centre for Studies in Family Medicine at The University of Western Ontario and the London InterCommunity Health Centre. The clinic helps screen and manage type 2 diabetes and related complications in an often marginalized population with limited access to health and social services. A special diabetes-screening clinic is held at the London InterCommunity Health Centre Saturday mornings, where Dr. Harris and his colleagues see 15-30 people each week. Individuals are tested for risk factors such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and blood sugar levels. While waiting for test results, the participants receive a presentation in Spanish about risk factors and lifestyle choices to prevent diabetes. Because many individuals do not have a family doctor, Dr. Harris offers treatment out of the clinic for those who test positive for diabetes.
