Asociación Interétnica de Desarrollo de la Selva Peruana (AIDESEP)

AIDESEP is the spokesperson organization for the indigenous peoples of the Amazon in our country, which works for the defense and respect of their collective rights through actions to expose their problems and present their alternative proposals for development, according to their worldview and lifestyle.

AIDESEP is led by a National Board of Directors elected periodically every 5 years by its regional bases: 9 decentralized organizations that are located in the north, center and south of the Peruvian jungle.

In turn, it has 109 federations that also participate in the elections through the National Congresses. These represent 2439 communities where more than 650,000 indigenous men and women live grouped into 19 linguistic families.
