Provincial and Capital District Advisory Commissions for Black, Afro-Colombian, Raizales and Palenqueras Communities
The Provincial and Capital District Advisory Commissions for Black, Afro-Colombian, Raizales and Palenqueras Communities are organizations created to follow-up on the provisions of the black communities recognition law of 1993 at the regional and local level, along with the High Level Advisory Committee that operates at the national level. Its main functions are to serve as an agency for dialogue and debate between the Communities they represent and the Departmental or District Government and to contribute to the search for consensuses and agreements between these Communities and the levels of government of the departmental or district order, and to solve land issues that affect the Communities in order to promote programs of titling and endowment of lands. These Commissions were set up in 1994 when the Black Community Recognition Act of 1993 was first regulated, and since then they have had a number of additional Regulatory Decrees, which define their composition, functions and registration process for organizations and Community councils of these communities. They are made up of the Governor of the respective department or Secretary of Government and other Directors and Departmental or District Coordinators, as well as a representative of the mayors of the municipalities with presence of Black Communities of the respective department, a representative of the rectors of public universities and the delegates of the community councils and the organizations of Black, Afro-Colombian, Raizales and Palenqueras communities.
