The Andean Coordination of Indigenous Organizations (CAOI) is a coordination body for the Andean indigenous organizations of Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. It was established on July 17, 2006 at its Founding Congress, held in Cusco, Peru. Its main objective is the full exercise of the rights of indigenous peoples, in particular self-determination, territory, consultation and prior, free and informed consent, against the criminalization of demands and the militarization of territories. CAOI's central proposal is the construction of Good Living and Plurinational States. For this, it carries out research and works for the reconstitution of indigenous peoples and their continental articulation and with the set of social movements.
