Spain's current multilateral development co-operation policy
17/07/2006 By Publicaciones ForoAOD, Christian Freres
Spanish co-operation for development is currently experiencing a period of intense transformation.
The international context is, in general, favourable (a consensus on the Millennium Development Goals/MDGs, an increase in official development aid/ODA, etc), there is a high degree of political commitment from the government, a motivated management team and growing resources - elements that have not coincided before. For that reason, the development co-operation community in Spain has high expectations for the current project.
There is a lack of a true policy on multilateralism in development cooperation, something that would be articulated in a White Book, a strategic plan or document. Clearly such a text does not exist up until now.
However, there is no evidence that such a document would resolve other general limitations of a political and institutional nature.
