Afro-descendant civil society organizations in Latin America have pursued an important strand of advocacy on reforming national censuses. The aim has been to increase the visibility of Afro-descendant populations through disaggregated data and thus to improve recognition of their distinct identity. Brazil is leading the way on such data collection while other countries are taking first steps, like Argentina and Chile.

AGRICOLA IND 85075591, The activities and results of a technology transfer program for the VI Region's coastal area are presented. This program was active only during three years, as the financial support from the Regional Government was discontinued. Nevertheless, the change of attitude, in front of innovation, observed in many of the small farmers that participated in the program, shows that a well supported and permanent program of this type could bring the necessary technological changes to transform the traditional agriculture that predominated in these areas.
