Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indígena Oaxaqueño
OAXACAN INDIGENOUS BINACIONAL FRONT (FIOB)

FIOB is a community-based non-governmental organization that has a character of a coalition of organizations, communities, and individuals of indigenous origin (from the Mixteca, Zapoteca and Triqui regions in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico). It was founded in October 5, 1991 in Los Angeles, California. Its members are present in Oaxaca, Baja California Norte and California in the United States.

FIOB constituted the Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indígena Oaxaqueño, Inc. (CBDIO, INC.) or Binational Center for the Development of the Oaxacan Indigenous Communities in the United States in order to be able to receive economic resources to support the communities with development and educational programs. Centro, as it is often refered to, was legally registered as a 501(c)(3)77-0337939 and State Identification number: 432-6081-9.

FIOB AND CENTRO'S OBJECTIVES

  • To maintain the cultural, social and linguistic integrity of the indigenous communities.
  • To promote and defend the human, labor and civil rights of the Oaxacan indigenous communities.
  • To promote the economic, social, and cultural development of the communities.
  • To guarantee women's leadership and participation within the organization and the communities.
  • To strive to revert the ecological deterioration in our territory in Oaxaca by promoting self-help development projects based on communities' practices in combination with modern technology.
  • To promote the cultural and political autonomy of the Oaxacan indigenous communities by supporting the change of Mexican and international legislation.

    To reach these general objectives, FIOB and Centro have been working closely with the migrant and non-migrant Oaxacan indigenous in the promotion, orientation and development of our communities by implementing specific projects that aim to improve their well-being.
