It is an Integration Platform focused on the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean that emphasizes the fight against poverty and social exclusion based on doctrines of the left.

It is concretized as a project of collaboration and political, social and economic complementarity between Latin American and Caribbean countries, initially promoted by Cuba and Venezuela and as counterpart to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (ALCA), promoted by U.S.

The ALBA is based on the creation of mechanisms that take advantage of the cooperation between the different member nations to compensate for the asymmetries between those countries.
