Cooperación españoladesafíos para una nueva legislatura

Abstract

In just three decades, Spain changed in a remarkable way its position in the International System. In 1977, Spain was still a economy receiving funds from Official Development Assistant (ODA); thirty years later, in 2007, is the seventh donor worldwide, giving 5.5% of die resources of ODA for the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECDE (Organization for Economic and Co-operation Development) - more dian 5.7 billion dollars overa total of 103.6 billion.That constraint of time in which it was made this great transformation explains some of the deficiencies that the Spanish cooperation system has. These deficiencies are: the fragile strategic consolidation and it's still limited technical capacity and management. Some of these deficiencies are on che way to correction as consequence of the intense reform process that is going through the cooperation policy of Spain in the last years. However, therre are some holes that could put on risk the future. In this new government it is convenient to confront these limitations as the most relevant challenges
