National Consultative Council for Ethnic-Racial Equity and Afro-descendancy
The National Consultative Council for Ethnic-Racial Equity and Afro-descendence was created by Decree No. 81 and operates within the Ministry of Social Development. Its main role is to advise the Executive Branch on the design and promotion of policies with an ethnic-racial and Afro-descendant perspective. The Council is made up of representatives of government agencies, Universidad de la República and six representatives of civil society: four appointed by Afro-descendant organizations, one by the National Workers' Inter-Union Plenary - National Workers' Convention (Span. Plenario Intersindical de Trabajadores - Convención Nacional de Trabajadores) and one by the Business Chambers.
