The main task from ANEI is to promote and to support the cultural preservation of the native towns Arhuaco, Wiwa and Kogui in their region, through the organic sustainable projects implementation, that strengthen the processes in the organization of the group. They also support the economic and social recovery, as well as the cultural rights from the partners.

ANEI wants to improve the quality life of their partners through the sustainable use of the resources. They also want to perform an important role recovering the order and universal harmony related to the natives  hierarchical vision, which is very important to maintain the Universe harmony.

ANEI also wants to promote a bigger cooperation between native and non-native people in their influence area. They have incorporated lots of farmers (lots of Spanish descent) in their association.

All those goals have been created having around problems and challenges that some native communities from Sierra Nevada were dealing with in the moment that the organisation was founded.
