Who we are

The Center for Engagement and Advocacy in the Americas (CEDA) mission is to promote policies in the US and throughout the Americas that are founded on partnership, mutual respect, and constructive dialogue. We advocate for policies that enhance the well-being and respect the dignity and rights of people across the Americas. We fulfill our mission by conducting on-the-ground research, leading delegations, and providing a direct interface between policymakers and the affected populations.

Our work tackles challenges, raises awareness, and unlocks positive shifts in engagement and coordination. In our strategic advocacy initiatives, we engage with civil society, governments, international organizations, and the private sector to promote humane policy changes and foster regional solutions that are representative of the diversity of the continent.
