URACCAN is an institutional life project of its own, articulated in accordance with the historical aspirations and demands of indigenous peoples, Afro descendants and half-breeds of the Caribbean Coast, to enjoy a model of development with identity, built from the sociocultural bases, promoting and strengthening the exercise of collective rights, identities, worldviews, spiritualities, forms of organization, cultures, knowledge systems and practices.

For its part, the Regional Government of the Costa Caribe Sur Autonomous Region (GRACCS) has the mission of directing, coordinating and implementing the processes of economic, social and political development of indigenous peoples, ethnic and Afro-descendant communities of the region, by promoting linguistic, cultural, ethnic rights, citizen participation, territorial ordering and institutional strengthening, with the aim of ensuring sustainable human development and improving the quality of life of the costaña families.
