Africa and Latin America People’s Dialogue: an experience in progress to build political and intercultural dialogue (Executive Summary)

Introduction
This text summarizes a longer document with the same title. Its goal is to present the main political elements identified in the People’s Dialogue (PD) process regarding both the actors who participate in it and the overall framework of social struggles in which the dialogue takes place. The original document is only available in Portuguese; this an abridged version that emphasizes the main topics developed during the Dialogue meetings from 2008 until 2010.
 
The identification of these issues came after reading the reports from each of the events of the People’s Dialogue in both continents, as well as the reports of the Reference Groups meetings. All of them served as the basis for identifying the key issues within the debate, as developed over recent years.
 
We hope that this document provides an overview of the concerns of the different actors engaged in the dialogue, as well as the open potential and prospects for the process in the immediate future. One of the great challenges that we face is to identify the mechanisms in order to continue and deepen what has already been achieved, with a better understanding of what have actually guided our work together.
