Afro-Ecuadorian Development Corporation (Corporación de Desarrollo Afroecuatoriano, CODAE), institutionalized in 2002, Asociacion de Negros Ecuatorianos, (ASONE), founded in 1988, Afro-Ecuadorian Institute, founded 1989, the Agustin Delgado Foundation, the Black Community Movement (El Proceso de Comunidades Negras) and The National Confederation of Afro-Ecuadorians (Confederacion Nacional Afroecuatoriana, CNA) are amongst some of the insititutional frameworks in place in Ecuador. The World Bank has funded Afro-Ecuadorian development proposals in Ecuador since 1998, loaning $34 million for related projects between 2003 to 2007, and USAID also overlooked the 2006 elections in Ecuador to see that Afro-Ecuadorians were fairly represented.
