CEDENPA was founded in 1980 with its objectives directly linked to the fight against racism and socio-racial and gender inequalities, operating at the municipal, state, national and, to a lesser extent, international level, through forums, councils, and other means. Currently, it is connected to different networks, among them: Rede Bragantina de Economia Solidária, Rede Fulanas, AMNB, Coalizão Negra por Direitos, ABONG and Fórum da Amazônia Oriental.
