Fons Menorquí de Cooperació

The Minorcan Fund for Cooperation was created in 1993 with the support of public administrations, NGO's, civil society and city bodies, with the common goal of favouring a cooperation which promoted, both in the North and in the South, local participation in the design of an economically sustainable and culturally plural development model. Among its objectives are the financing of projects in developing countries, the society awareness, the public report of Human Rights violations and the diffusion of the Fund's activities.

The Minorcan Fund is organized in two areas:

a) Cooperation area: financing and monitoring of projects in five fields: immigration, promotion of sustainable economical alternatives, strengthening of civil society and democracy, emergency, and basic needs.

b) Awareness area: coordinating of NGO's and Administrations in activities like awareness (exhibitions, conferences, etc.), education for development, training, documentation, and diffusion.

Since its creation, the Minorcan Fund has counted on 100% of towns of the island, 100% of NGO's, and numerous city bodies. In the last years, the number of members has increased, particularly collaborating and individual members. At present, the Minorcan Fund has 25 members, amongst which, the Government of the Balearic Islands and the Minorcan Insular Council.
