The Syndicalist Confederation of Intercultural Communities of Bolivia (Spanish: Confederación Sindical de Comunidades Interculturales de Bolivia; CSCIB) is a peasant union of rural communities in the lowlands of Bolivia whose members included people of highland origin. It is led by Pedro Calderón and includes federations in six departments: La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Tarija, Chuquisaca, and Beni. It was founded on February 18, 1971 as the Syndicalist Confederation of Colonizers of Bolivia (Spanish: Confederación Sindical de Colonizadores de Bolivia).^[1] At the time, its independence from the government represented a defiant break from the so-called Military-Peasant Pact.

The Confederation is a founding member of the National Coordination for Change (CONALCAM). Its leader from 2007 to 2010, Fidel Surco, became president of CONALCAM as well as a Senator in the Plurinational Legislative Assembly.
