I. INTRODUCCIÓN

En seguimiento a las conclusiones y recomendaciones emanadas del “Taller Regional sobre Fondos e Instrumentos para la Financiación de Proyectos de Cooperación Sur-Sur en América Latina y el Caribe” (Ciudad de México, 28 y 29 de julio de 2011), la Secretaría Permanente del Sistema Económico Latinoamericano y del Caribe (SELA) solicitó la identificación de los diversos instrumentos, mecanismos y fondos para la financiación de la cooperación internacional, la cooperación Sur-Sur y la cooperación triangular, a la cual pueden acceder los países de América Latina y el Caribe.

Para ello, se elaboró y se remitió vía internet un cuestionario orientado a conocer las acciones que en tal sentido llevan a cabo los Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños, así como las agencias bilaterales de desarrollo de los países miembros de la OCDE y otras fuentes bilaterales no tradicionales. Sin embargo, solo se obtuvo información de dos de los países miembros del SELA (Ecuador y El Salvador). Otras fuentes bilaterales de países miembros de la OCDE, nos refirieron a sus sitios WEB donde, en efecto, pudimos obtener información amplia sobre sus modalidades de cooperación internacional. En razón de lo antes expuesto, la compilación de información se llevó a cabo enteramente mediante una exhaustiva investigación a través de diversos sitios de internet, principalmente a través de las páginas WEB de puntos focales de cooperación y de otras fuentes potenciales. Durante la investigación se buscó información ante todo en las fuentes primarias -sitios WEB de puntos focales y de organismos regionales, sub-regionales e internacionales- y a través de enlaces que pudiesen conducir a nuevas fuentes, bien como fuentes principales de cooperación o bien bajo la figura de Fondos, Programas, Convenios y Proyectos de las fuentes principales identificadas. En aquellos casos en los cuales no se logró obtener información a través de sitios WEB de puntos focales, se investigó a través de fuentes menos directas, tales como sitios WEB de instituciones públicas del mismo país, organismos aliados, documentos de acuerdos, estrategias, resoluciones e informes, así como informaciones de prensa o de noticias digitales. La bibliografía que se refiere en este Directorio, corresponde a todos aquellos documentos encontrados que sirvieron de soporte a la información compilada y registrada. Tales documentos fueron consignados en la Secretaría Permanente del SELA. El Directorio presenta 102 Fuentes de Cooperación Internacional, así como de financiamiento y apoyo a la Cooperación Sur-Sur y a la Cooperación Triangular, clasificadas según requerimiento de la Secretaría Permanente del SELA en:

Fuentes oficiales provenientes de los Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños Fuentes provenientes de organismos regionales y subregionales de América Latina

y el Caribe (esquemas de integración y cooperación regional); Fuentes provenientes de agencias bilaterales de desarrollo de los países miembros

de la OCDE y fuentes no tradicionales; Fuentes de financiamiento provenientes de organismos internacionales y del

sistema de las Naciones Unidas; y Fuentes de cooperación de algunas organizaciones no gubernamentales de

alcance internacional. Respecto a éstas, se decidió hacer énfasis en las fuentes de apoyo a actividades vinculadas al sector agrícola, al desarrollo rural y al manejo del ambiente.


Para cada Fuente se brinda información básica de introducción a la misma, información sobre las modalidades de cooperación con las cuales trabaja y sobre las áreas de focalización de sus operaciones. Igualmente se ofrecen los datos que facilitarán entrar en contacto con la fuente y obtener mayor información de la referida en este documento. Sin embargo, la dinámica de la cooperación internacional hace de este Directorio un documento de consulta referencial con información temporal. La información que se brinda en relación a las propuestas de cooperación de cada Fuente puede variar en función de las nuevas oportunidades que se ofrezcan a la Región o, al contrario, en función de una reorientación de los intereses y prioridades de las diversas Fuentes de financiamiento. La mayor parte de las Fuentes que se identifican en el índice son fuentes primarias o principales, entendiendo por ello puntos focales de países cooperantes o de Organismos Internacionales Gubernamentales o No Gubernamentales. En el marco de estas fuentes se identifican adicionalmente diversidad de Fondos y Programas que podemos considerar per se fuentes de cooperación y de apoyo. La mayoría de éstos son reseñados como parte de la información de la fuente primaria. En este sentido cabe destacar como ejemplo, la identificación de más de 20 Fondos y/o Programas de apoyo regional o subregional de países como Alemania, Canadá, España, Israel, Japón, Finlandia, Francia, Noruega, Reino Unido y Suecia, además de la cooperación bilateral que brindan. De igual manera se destacan los acuerdos de cooperación trilateral de países como Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, México, Alemania, Australia, China, Corea, España, Estados Unidos, Francia y Japón. Sin embargo, es preciso resaltar que en algunos pocos casos los Fondos o Programas especiales de una fuente primaria fueron incorporados en el listado principal del Directorio. El caso más significativo en este sentido es el de diez (10) Fondos especiales del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), a los que consideramos importante darles la misma relevancia de una fuente primaria de cooperación. Caso similar pero en menor cuantía se podrá observar con algunos Fondos y/o Programas de otros organismos multilaterales. Por otra parte, se hizo especial énfasis en identificar fuentes de cooperación y apoyo a las áreas vinculadas a la Seguridad Alimentaria, en virtud de ser éste uno de los objetivos fundamentales de la XXIII Reunión de Directores de Cooperación Internacional de América Latina y el Caribe, a celebrarse a inicios del mes de octubre del presente año. En tal sentido, este Directorio refiere Organismos Internacionales Gubernamentales y No Gubernamentales focalizados en la materia, así como Programas de cooperación especiales para el sector agrícola proveniente de fuentes bilaterales. Al respecto, debemos destacar que la agricultura, el desarrollo rural sustentable y el manejo de las implicaciones del cambio climático, forman parte de las áreas prioritarias de cooperación de la mayoría de las fuentes. A manera de conclusión del proceso de investigación, se pudo confirmar la importancia que tiene la sistematización y publicación de las políticas, estrategias y actividades ejecutadas en materia de cooperación internacional, como forma de promoción y práctica de la misma. Hallamos una amplia brecha entre la información que brindan los países miembros de la OCDE y los países miembros del SELA, independientemente del alcance o magnitud de la cooperación que ofrecen. Con las pocas excepciones que se reflejan claramente en esta publicación, la mayor parte de los Puntos Focales de la Región no han sistematizado ni publicado datos al respecto, razón por la cual no aparecen referidos en este Directorio como fuentes de cooperación.

Australian Agency for International Development (AUSAID) The AUSAID is the Australian Government agency responsible for managing

Australia's overseas aid program. It is an Executive Agency within the Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio and reports to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Australia's aid program to Latin America supports the government commitment to address global poverty and accelerate progress towards achieving the MDGs. Modalities of cooperation Australia will provide $100 million in aid to Latin America over the next four years. Development assistance will be provided through scholarships, fellowships, volunteers, project grants and joint projects with OECD and emerging donor countries (such as Brazil and Chile) to assist the region's less developed countries. With CARICOM, AUSAID signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The centrepiece of this Memorandum is a four-year $60 million development assistance program that provides a framework for cooperation on climate change and disaster risk reduction ($17.5 million); economic resilience ($10 million); people to people and institutional linkages through scholarships, sport for development and volunteers ($16.5 million); and direct assistance to support areas of priority need identified in consultation with CARICOM ($16 million).


Main areas of cooperation Australia will work in partnership with Latin American countries, non-government organizations, multilateral organizations and other donors to support initiatives that address poverty and development challenges in the region, with a particular focus on rural development, natural resource governance, climate change and environmental sustainability, and human resource development. With CARICOM, Australia will cooperates to improve the capacity of Caribbean countries to reduce their vulnerability and enhance their resilience to natural disasters, for example: climate risk profiles, economic impact assessments and adaptation analysis for countries in the region; improvements to water security; leadership training for national disaster offices; public awareness and education campaigns on tsunami and other coastal hazards; and re-stocking regional disaster response warehouses. Also AUSAID cooperation focus on programs to help the Caribbean improve financial sector regulation, reduce barriers to regional trade, reduce average levels of debt, improve the economic and financial skills base and provide employment training. Funds and Programmes Memorandum of Understanding for Trilateral and Technical Cooperation with Brazil. The scope of the Memorandum of Understanding encompass cooperation on projects in third countries within Latin America and outside the region on development issues with global impact. It includes knowledge exchange in key areas related to development and/or with prospects for transfer to third countries. The specific priorities are identified on a basis for bilateral dialogue on cooperation opportunities. Priorities for cooperation may include: post-disaster reconstruction assistance; development of sustainable rural livelihoods including agriculture; environment and climate change; financial inclusion and social protection. Nevertheless, these priorities are expected to be modified over time. Contact Street Address: 255 London Circuit. Canberra ACT 2601.

Austria provides support with specific programmes and projects, especially in capacity building. Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) supports the Central American region in implementing an open-door policy in trade relations. Cross-border production sector measures as part of a regional programme aim at raising the competitiveness of small business and farming enterprises in ADC partner and priority countries. In its cooperation with Central America, Austria concentrates on cooperation with local actors and initiatives. In view of a total budget of cooperation to the practically invariable development it is possible to be started off of a constant annual amount of 4 million Euros until the 2013. Main areas of cooperation

On a Central America region level, Austria is largely engaged in rural development, promotion of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, renewable energy and in capacity building.

Belgian Development Cooperation (BTC) BTC is the Belgian development agency. For the account of the Belgian state and

other commissioners BTC supports and provides guidance to development programmes. It works together with partners by making available expertise, personnel and financial resources.

Modalities of cooperation Belgium provides mainly project support, following a reduced set of execution modalities. The challenge for Belgium is to evolve towards a more flexible mix of modalities and meanwhile using the whole range of tools, including a larger share of budget support. BTC also executes the micro-projects programme. This programme aims at participating to small-scale development initiatives that foster self-sufficiency and originate from the most disadvantaged groups in society. Funding applications of micro-projects must be submitted to the Belgian Embassy in the country concerned. Others BTC modalities are Budget support and Basket funding. Budget support is money that is directly entered on the state budget of the beneficiary country on the basis of approved long-range plans. Basket funding is in fact a form of sectoral budget support; so it supports a certain sector, for instance the health sector. The difference with budget support it that the money from basket funding is not spent following the beneficiary partner country procedures. Generally, expenditure in a certain (sub)sector is financed via a joint bank account held by a group of donors. Basket funding is used whenever the

http://www.entwicklung.at/en/�


donors want to channel the resources directly to specific expenditure of a particular ministry, because they still have insufficient faith in the ability of the Ministry of Finance to earmark the funds for priorities in the poverty reduction strategy. In many instances basket funding is used for rural investment expenditure in education or health care. Also, Belgium integrates scholarships and traineeship grants for partner country nationals in its development cooperation. These grants offer the possibility to increase professional competencies and capacities through university (master and doctorate) studies or through internships and travel trips. These opportunities are offered in the country of origin, in other partner countries or in Belgium. Main areas of cooperation In 2008, Belgium decided to substantially step up its efforts to support agriculture and rural development. Belgium should be spending 10% of its official development assistance (ODA) in these domains, with that percentage due to rise to 15% by 2015. In addition to its bi-lateral interventions, Belgium is one of the main donors to the international organizations active in the agriculture and food security sector. BTC cooperation for agriculture and food security sector is implemented according to three major types of approaches tailored to the diversity of the local contexts: 1) the local economic development approach, 2) the supply chain approach, 3) the food security and food assistance approach. Priorities for Belgian cooperation in this sector are: Improvement and safeguarding of production and of agricultural productivity,

integrating the sustainable development dimension. Adding value to local products and improving access to markets. Governance of the agriculture sector: strengthening of the State in its coordinating,

facilitating and regulating roles and strengthening of civil society and of farmer organizations.

Individual and collective empowerment of rural women. Cooperation for agriculture and food security sector includes:

Indirect cooperation through: Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and agricultural trade unions. These actors

have accumulated multiple and varied expertise, particularly as regards the strengthening of the capacities of farmer organizations in the South in a context of sustainable agricultural development, the strengthening of microfinance institutions and also the setting up of inclusive agricultural supply chains.

Universities and the different scientific institutes, some of which are financed through the University Cooperation for Development (CUD) and the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR), have internationally renowned agricultural expertise.

Financial and Banking: The Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries - BIO, provides direct

credit and participates in the capital of companies in the agri-food sector. The ATHENA Facility, a partnership between BIO and the Centre for the

Development of Enterprise (CDE), provides financing specifically tailored to very small enterprises (VSEs) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Caribbean countries. http://www.b-i-o.be/

Regional Cooperation: The Belgian development cooperation also supports the agriculture and food security sector on a regional level.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) The BMZ develops the guidelines and the fundamental concepts on which German

development policy is based. It devises long-term strategies for cooperation with the various players concerned and defines the rules for implementing that cooperation. Modalities of cooperation Direct development cooperation between Germany and its partner countries rests on two main instruments: Financial Cooperation, which can be used, for instance, to finance investments, particularly in infrastructure and financial systems, to finance materials and equipment, or to establish effective structures. The volume of funds is agreed and laid out in a contract between Germany and the partner country. The funding usually takes the form of soft loans; the poorest developing countries (LDCs) are also granted funding in the form of a non-repayable grant. One special form of Financial Cooperation is called "program-oriented joint financing". Here the funding is not made available for individual projects but is paid into the partner country's budget. Technical Cooperation is always non-repayable. It aims primarily to boost the performance capacities of individuals and organizations in partner countries, from small self-help organizations to government authorities, by providing advisory services and teaching know-how and skills. Technical Cooperation embraces projects and programs agreed on during negotiations between the German government and the government of the partner country. It includes projects and programs implemented by non-governmental organizations, such as political foundations and NGOs. Main areas of cooperation The sectors that German development cooperation will focus on in particular in the future will be education, health, rural development, good governance and sustainable economic development. The following priority areas have been defined for German development cooperation with the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean: Democracy, the rule of law and the participation of the poor (good governance); Environmental and climate protection; urban drinking water supply and sanitation.



Funds and Programmes Triangular Cooperation with Mexico. Germany and Mexico have agreed to make their experience in cooperation available to other Latin American countries in the form of tripartite cooperation arrangements and to implement joint projects and programmes with third countries. In this way, financial resources and know-how are pooled in order to solve problems in the region, thus benefiting all cooperating parties. Triangular Cooperation with Brazil. Since 2004, German development cooperation has been supporting Brazilian efforts to combat HIV and AIDS as part of South-South cooperation. In addition, Brazil and Germany are working together Peru (on protecting tropical forests) and in Bolivia and Paraguay (on promoting small and medium-sized enterprises). The transfer of technology and knowledge is also helping Brazil to implement its own development projects in third countries. This in turn enables Germany to help ensure that internationally recognised quality standards are firmly established in Brazil’s own development cooperation. Regional cooperation through Central American Integration System (SICA). In the future most of the BMZ cooperation efforts with Central America will be implemented through the Central American Integration System (SICA). Only a small number of new bilateral projects will now be launched; these, however, will be linked to regional or global development cooperation programmes to protect global goods (such as climate and environmental protection, or good governance). The Trifinio region Programme: 20 million euros has so far been pledged for a new

regional project in the border region of Trifinio (where El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala share common borders) involving forest protection and the conservation of mainly Salvadoran water resources.

The "4E" regional programme: Germany has so far supported to the tune of 5 million euros to promote renewable energies and energy efficiency, which benefits Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador).

Modalities of cooperation CIDA develops a policy on Programme-Based Approaches to facilitate its engagement in common arrangements. The PBA includes: General budget support: a general contribution to the recipient country's overall

budget where policy dialogue between donors and the partner country government is focused primarily on overall policy and budget priorities.

Sector budget support: a financial contribution to a recipient government in support of discrete sectors or areas of activity. Policy dialogue is focused primarily, but not exclusively, on specific sector concerns.

Pooled funds: donors contribute to a common account which typically uses a special arrangement negotiated with donors and government. This involves a certain degree of donor control or oversight, as financial reporting is expected to show how the pooled funds were used. This is considered sector budget support if the money is transferred into the partner country government's account to be mixed with domestic resources and used according to normal national procedures within the sector.

Projects including technical assistance carried out under PBAs are characterized by the adoption of a more collaborative approach to decision-making, increased efforts to align with recipient country priorities and systems, and increased attention to higher-level results, efforts to align with recipient country priorities and systems, and increased attention to higher-level results.

Main areas of cooperation Canada has announced five priority themes: Increasing food security (Food aid and nutrition; Sustainable agricultural

development, particularly for small-scale farmers and women; Research and development)

Securing the future of children and youth (Child survival, including maternal health; Access to quality education; Safe and secure futures for children and youth)

Stimulating sustainable economic growth (Building economic foundations; Growing businesses; Investing in people)

Advancing democratic governance Ensuring security and stability. Funds and Programmes The Caribbean Programme. CIDA's programming will focus on promoting sustainable economic growth, through: strengthening the management of public financial resources, including debt management; increasing access to employment skills for youth; strengthening the productivity of small- and medium-sized enterprises and increasing participation in regional and global markets; promoting public-private partnerships that generate employment and attract investment for growth. More information about this Programme: http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/acdi-cida/ACDI-CIDA.nsf/eng/JUD-327123545-NMX#tphp. Interamerican Regional Programme. It supports regional activities in most of the 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Also it addresses issues that are regional in scope or need a regional approach such as increasing benefits from trade and controlling the spread of disease.

International Climate Initiative (ICI) Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) The German ICI provides financial support to international projects supporting

climate change mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity projects with climate relevance. It aims to ensure that such investments will trigger private investments of a greater magnitude. It also aims to ensure that financed projects will strategically support the post-2012 climate change negotiations. The ICI has initially focused on a number of countries that have a high potential for emissions reduction in view of their significant and sharply rising greenhouse gas emissions. Innovative projects are also being supported in other selected countries and regions. Furthermore, projects targeting valuable carbon sinks with high levels of biodiversity, such as in the Amazon region. Modalities of cooperation A variety of approaches are pursued within the ICI, including financing investments and programmes in financial sectors by means of grants, as well as support via (interest-subsidised) loans and also, where appropriate, via project-based contributions to international funds. It is expected to amount to EUR400 million (USD618.30* million)/year for domestic and international use. EUR120 million (USD185* million)/year is earmarked for developing countries and countries in transition. Main areas of cooperation 50% is intended for sustainable energy projects and the other 50% for adaptation to climate change impacts and biodiversity projects. The criteria on which projects are selected include those projects that: can demonstrate a mitigation effect; are anchored in partner countries’ national strategies; are innovative and impact beyond the individual project itself and are transferable; built on the strengths

Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland In its international cooperation, Finland endeavors to exert an effective impact on

decisions influencing international relations and, in cooperation with others, to promote human welfare and prevent the eruption of crises. Finland also tries to contribute to the strengthening of international institutions' operational capacity and their regional and global cooperation. Modalities of cooperation Finland cooperation offers technical assistance, scholarships and budget support. Budget support means to contribute to more effective planning and management of central government finances and, indirectly, to strengthen the capacity of democratic systems in poor countries. It is channeled through the developing country's budget and therefore finances the country's entire development programme, which is often called a Poverty Reduction Strategy. It is a form of assistance alongside with the traditional project support, because project support is a less appropriate solution to larger development problems. Finland grants general budget support only to its long-term partner countries and always in cooperation with other donor countries. In the case of Latin America, Nicaragua is the only long-term partner country. Thematic and regional cooperation complements other forms of aid. Thematic development cooperation focuses on sectors that Finland has specified as being important, especially the promotion of sustainable development. Thematic cooperation is in most cases implemented on a regional basis, whereby the cooperation must have clear, cross-border content and it must support regional integration

Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is Switzerland’s

international cooperation agency within the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). In operating with other federal offices concerned, SDC is responsible for the overall coordination of development activities and cooperation with Eastern Europe, as well as for the humanitarian aid delivered by the Swiss Confederation. Central America is a priority region for Swiss development cooperation, with SDC development efforts focusing on Nicaragua and Honduras. Bolivia, Haiti, Colombia, Cuba y Peru. Modalities of cooperation Cooperation depends on a comprehensive and systematic approach with various partners. Policy and operational activities are systematically linked to the focal points. In certain subject areas developments take place exclusively on the policy level. Training and the institutional development of partner organizations are the keys to creating a stronger partner. Support for networks encourages the exchange of know-how and technology. Partner organizations are supported financially and with know-how as well as by an appropriate combination of instruments. Medium- and longer-term planning in cooperation with the partners is determined in the respective country or regional program. Main areas of cooperation Forms of cooperation follow five focal points: crisis prevention and management, good governance, income generation and employment and sustainable use of natural resources. The SDC's bilateral development cooperation activities aim to lay the material and human foundations to enable its priority countries to carry out sustainable development processes on their own. These activities are thus considered to be of a long-term, subsidiary nature. In addition to its traditional project work, the SDC is increasingly devoting its efforts to country programs fostering favorable general conditions (e.g. in the judicial system, in government leadership and democracy, human rights, peace, security). Climate change, food and water crises as well as migration are topics of concern to all mankind in a globalised world. It is for this reason that SDC has developed

US Agency for International Development (USAID) The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is a U.S. Government agency

implementing important foreign assistance programs throughout the region. The Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) oversees 16 bilateral missions, 4 regional programs, and Washington-based programs for Cuba. USAID has been the principal U.S. agency to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.

Modalities of cooperation USAID utilizes various acquisition and assistance instruments to implement its activities: Contracts, grants, cooperative agreements and purchase orders. These instruments provide a variety of commodities and technical assistance to support the attainment of the agency's objectives. Acquisition refers to obtaining goods and services, through various types of contracts, for the use or benefit of the Agency. Assistance refers to transferring funds (or other valuables) from USAID to another party for the implementation of programs which will contribute to the public good through the furtherance of the objectives of the Foreign Assistance Act. About one half of the contract and grant awards made by USAID are negotiated, issued and administered by the Washington D.C. Office of Procurement. The other half are negotiated, issued and administered by Contracting and Grant staff located at USAID Missions worldwide. Main areas of cooperation USAID priorities in Latin America and Caribbean are: Support for the goals of the Summit of the Americas; economic and social opportunity, citizen safety and effective governance. To address the common challenges facing the people of the Americas in the areas of social inclusion and economic development through programs targeting at-risk youth in workforce development activities, investments in addressing adaptation to the impacts of climate change, addressing citizen safety and social justice programs, and support for the themes of the Summit. These include improving competitiveness, facilitating credit flows, education, and issues relating to climate change. Funds and Programs Programs supporting international agricultural development. The objective of USAID is to support country-driven strategies and invests in strengthening both public and private institutions that underpin growth of the agricultural sector. The Agency works throughout the sector, from developing improved seeds and management practices to strengthening the industries along the agricultural value chain. USAID is scaling-up a comprehensive approach to agriculture by: Developing agricultural markets, trade, and finance. Promoting food and nutritional security. Funding collaborative science and technology research efforts. Organizing volunteer technical assistance and extension services. Fostering support for biotechnology-related decisions and access. Developing and supporting sound programs for livestock and sustainable agriculture.


Collaborative Research Support Programs (CRSPs): CRPs are multi-disciplinary research and training programs that seek innovative solutions to food security, health, agricultural growth, trade expansion and sustainable use of natural resources in the developing world. The CRSPs seek to address not only the critical research questions in its area of expertise but also the cross-cutting topics of climate change, gender, food security, nutrition, and capacity building. A unique partnership between U.S. universities, developing country institutions, and USAID, CRSPs address issues of hunger and poverty through science and technology. The CRSPs receive core funding from the Bureau for Food Security of USAID. Many CRSPs also receive buy-ins from USAID Missions and other bureaus or offices within the Agency. Additional support is provided by the U.S. and host country participating institutions through cash and in-kind contributions to the programs. These matching and leveraged funds range from 20% to over 100% of USAID support, making the CRSPs an extremely cost-effective mechanism for international research and development.

Global Development Network The Global Development Network (GDN) is a leading International Organization of

developing and transition country researchers, policy and research institutes promoting the generation, sharing, and application to policy of multidisciplinary knowledge for the purpose of development. Conceived at a meeting organized by The World Bank and founded in 1999, GDN was launched as a response to the perceived paucity of support for research emanating from the developing and transitional world. GDN is now headquartered in New Delhi, with offices in Cairo and Washington. Modalities of cooperation The Global Development Network (GDN) makes grants and awards for research in economics, public policy, and other social sciences. Each global project involves case studies in different countries on a common theme, and each operates via networking among researchers from different countries. Most global projects are for multiple years, and most are funded by major donor organizations. Each project is unique in terms of who is eligible to participate. The size of grants is highly variable. GDN's five core activities include: Global Research Projects (GRPs); GDN Awards and Medals (GDAMs); Annual Conferences (AGDCs); Regional Research Competitions (RRCs); GDNet. In 2012, GDNet launched a new campaign to encourage members of the development research and policy communities to adopt a more inclusive approach to southern researchers’ knowledge. The Connect South campaign calls on people and organizations working in development to pledge their support and re-establishes GDNet’s own commitments to southern researchers. GDN is engaging with emerging, new initiatives towards the achievement of building research excellence and informing policy debates in developing countries. GDN's key

http://www.lacea.org/�


Funds and Programs Full-Sized Projects: FSPs may be developed by governments, non-governmental organizations, communities, the private sector, or other civil society entities, and must respond to both national priorities and GEF focal area /LDCF/SCCF strategies and objectives, and must satisfy eligibility requirements under the Conventions. Project proponents work closely with national GEF Operational Focal Points (who formally endorse project concepts) and the GEF Agency, to develop concepts and move through the project cycle. Grants are over US$1 million. Medium-Sized Projects: MSPs offer opportunities for a broad range of programming that is typically smaller in scale than full-sized projects and follow expedited procedures for their approval. Funding such projects increases GEF flexibility in allocating its resources and encourages a wide range of stakeholders to propose and develop project concepts. Grants are less than US$1 million. Programmatic Approach: It represents a partnership between country/ies, the GEF and other interested stakeholders, such as the private sector, donors and/or the scientific community. This approach secures larger-scale and sustainable impact on the global environment, than a single FSP or MSP, through integrating global environmental objectives into national or regional strategies and plans using partnerships. A program usually contains several projects that are linked through common objective/s of the program aimed to foster increased horizontal and vertical integration of global environmental issues into the country (ies) development agenda. Climate Change Adaptation: Projects for adaptation to climate change can apply for these Funds: The Special Climate Change Fund, established to support adaptation and technology

transfer in all developing country parties to the UNFCCC. The SCCF supports both long-term and short-term adaptation activities in water resources management, land management, agriculture, health, infrastructure development, fragile ecosystems, including mountainous ecosystems, and integrated coastal zone management.

The Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), which is the only existing fund whose mandate is to finance the preparation and implementation of the National Adaptation Programs of Action.

The Adaptation Fund, which finances projects and programmes to help developing countries adapt to the negative effects of climate change.

Small Grants Program (SGP): This program supports non-governmental and community organizations, providing small grants for community-based projects in the GEF focal areas. It is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and is executed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). Grants are over $ 50.000.

International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is a specialized agency

of the United Nations dedicated to eradicating rural poverty in developing countries. IFAD's mission is to enable poor rural people to overcome poverty. Working with rural poor people, governments, donors, non-governmental organizations and many other partners, IFAD focuses on country-specific solutions, which can involve increasing rural poor peoples' access to financial services, markets, technology, land and other natural resources. Modalities of cooperation IFAD provides loans to its developing Member States on highly concessional, intermediate and ordinary terms for approved projects and programmes. Lending terms and conditions vary according to the borrower's per capita GNI. IFAD provides grants to institutions and organizations in support of activities to strengthen the technical and institutional capacities linked to agricultural and rural development. Grants are limited to 10% of the combined loan and grant programme. Activities eligible for country-specific grants are directly aligned with country strategies, as articulated in Results-based Country Strategic Opportunities Programme, and they support and complement IFAD’s loan portfolio while responding to issues deriving from country assessments under the Performance Based Allocation System (PBAS). Main areas of cooperation Nine major areas are supported: agricultural development; financial services; rural infrastructure; livestock; fisheries; capacity-and institution-building; storage/food-processing/marketing; research/extension/training, small and medium scale enterprise development.

Latin American and Caribbean investments are concentrated in social development, and market and rural enterprises development, with the remaining slices of the pie looking at management; agriculture, livestock and fisheries development; environmental development; and other impact domains.

Country-specific grants strengthen IFAD’s capacity to: (a) engage in strategic and catalytic activities at the national level, in the areas of knowledge management, policy dialogue and analysis, and partnership; and (b) pilot innovative approaches to rural poverty reduction that can then be scaled up through investment projects. These grants




are strongly linked to IFAD’s country programmes, and contribute to the country programme approach, supporting linkages among all activities within the country. The issues these grants tackle are mostly in the area of organizational and institutional development in non-agricultural areas, and they include rural finance, market linkages and pro-poor policy development.

RAMSAR Convention on Wetlands The Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) -- called the "Ramsar Convention"

-- is an intergovernmental treaty that embodies the commitments of its member countries to maintain the ecological character of their Wetlands of International Importance and to plan for the "wise use", or sustainable use, of all of the wetlands in their territories. Unlike the other global environmental conventions, Ramsar is not affiliated with the United Nations system of Multilateral Environmental Agreements, but it works very closely with the other MEAs and is a full partner among the "biodiversity-related cluster" of treaties and agreements. The Ramsar Convention is the only global environmental treaty that deals with a particular ecosystem.



Modalities of cooperation Special attention is given to assisting member States in the management and conservation of listed sites whose ecological character is threatened. This is frequently carried out through the Ramsar Advisory Mission, a technical assistance mechanism. In most cases, the application of this mechanism consists of a visit by a team of two or more experts who will produce a report on their findings and recommendations. The Ramsar Convention maintains three assistance programmes for small projects (or parts of larger projects) for the conservation and wise use of wetlands. Main areas of cooperation The Convention uses a broad definition of the types of wetlands covered in its mission, including lakes and rivers, swamps and marshes, wet grasslands and peatlands, oases, estuaries, deltas and tidal flats, near-shore marine areas, mangroves and coral reefs, and human-made sites such as fish ponds, rice paddies, reservoirs, and salt pans. Funds and Programs The Small Grants Fund. The Fund was established as a mechanism to assist developing countries and countries with economies in transition to implement the Convention and to support the conservation and wise use of wetland resources, with a strong human and social dimension. This Fund supports projects from around the world, both through direct assistance and through seeking donors for additional proposals. Projects may be proposed and implemented by any agency, NGO, or individual, but proposals must be endorsed and monitored by the Administrative Authority (the Ramsar implementing agency). The Wetland for the Future initiative. It is a training program, to benefit Latin American and Caribbean institutions and individuals through capacity building and training in the conservation and wise use of wetlands. This initiative promotes the implementation of the concept of "wise use" of wetlands through strengthening the capacity of countries to manage their wetland resources in perpetuity and contributing to integrate wetland conservation and management with the development process. All proposed activities should be in line with the principles, recommendations and guidelines of the Ramsar Convention. The sponsors of Wetlands for the Future wish to establish partnerships with training institutions, catalyze wetland training activities currently underway or planned within the region, or complement existing training and education initiatives with wetland-related instruction.

The Perez-Guerrero Trust Fund for South-South Cooperation (PGTF) The Perez-Guerrero Trust Fund For South-South Cooperation (PGTF) is a fund

established for the purpose of supporting activities in economic and technical cooperation among developing countries of critical importance to developing countries members of the Group of 77, in order to achieve national or collective self-reliance, according to the priorities set by them. The Fund should not be used as a substitute for resources available to the United Nations agencies for undertaking activities in favor of South-South cooperation. Modalities of cooperation The PGTF provides seed money for (i) financing pre-investment/feasibility studies/reports prepared by professional consultancy organizations in developing countries members of the Group of 77; and (ii) facilitating the implementation of projects within the framework of the Caracas Programme of Action on ECDC. The maximum amount of PGTF support available for any given project in 2012 will be US$35,000. For large projects that go beyond the capacity of the PGTF, the Fund may be in a position to finance only a component of these projects. Any project, in order to be considered for PGTF assistance must necessarily have a cooperative component, i.e. any activity which involves deliberate and voluntary sharing, pooling or exchange of economic or technical resources, knowledge, experience, skills and capabilities between three or more developing countries for their individual or mutual development. In this context, projects which are purely national in nature and bilateral projects will not qualify for funding. Main areas of cooperation Project proposals should address the sectorial priorities contained in the Caracas Programme of Action on Economic Cooperation among Developing Countries that is Trade, Technology, Food and Agriculture, Energy, Raw Materials, Finance, Industrialization and Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries.

La cooperación para América Latina y el Caribe cuenta con una diversidad de Fondos y Programas orientados, entre otros, a fomentar el desarrollo de la cooperación Sur-Sur, así como la integración sub-regional. Modalidades de cooperación La UE define tres propuestas o enfoques diferentes pero complementarios de su cooperación: el de proyectos, el enfoque sectorial y el enfoque macro. La cooperación por proyectos está orientada a apoyar iniciativas individuales no vinculadas al sector público (sociedad civil y/o sector privado). Mediante la cooperación sectorial y macro la UE provee apoyo presupuestario -transferencia directa de fondos- para reforzar las capacidades propias de cada país en el financiamiento de sus estrategias de desarrollo, promoviendo la adecuada gerencia de sus finanzas y la planificación presupuestaria. Áreas de focalización de la cooperación Para los países de América Latina, la cooperación de la Unión Europea brinda particular atención a la cohesión social y a la integración regional; a la mejora de la gobernabilidad y al fortalecimiento de las instituciones públicas; al desarrollo de un área común de educación superior entre la Unión Europea y América Latina y a la promoción del desarrollo sostenible. El Programa Indicativo Regional para el Caribe se financia con una asignación de €165 millones para la 10ma programación regional del Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo (FED) sobre un período de seis años que comenzó en 2008. Los objetivos globales de este Programa son la reducción de la pobreza y la integración en la economía global. Las áreas de focalización de la cooperación son el desarrollo de capacidades para la integración regional económica y la reducción de las condiciones de vulnerabilidad, mediante el desarrollo social sostenible, la mejora de las condiciones de vida y la participación de actores privados y de la sociedad civil en el proceso de desarrollo. Fondos y Programas Programas temáticos: Para el período 2007 – 2013, se contempló un presupuesto de €5.6 billones para financiar actividades de la Sociedad Civil y de Organizaciones Internacionales en cinco programas temáticos.
