Resumo
This report summarizes the main demands and expectations presented by Afro-descendant leaders during the high-level meeting “The Impact of COVID-19 on Afro-Descendant Populations in the Region: Perspectives and Opportunities” held on 17 November 2020. The issues identified in this document correspond to the general considerations of the debate, which had also been raised in the three previous subregional technical consultations.
