What is a Fund for Cooperation and Solidarity

A Fund for Cooperation and Solidarity is a non-profit-making organization where town councils and other public and private institutions gather, with the following objectives:

• To contribute to the development of the planet's impoverished countries by means of the constitution and management of an economical fund, which allows a decentralized cooperation and which touches upon the human and sustainable development of the peoples in the South.
  
  
• To administer and manage the economical funds delivered to the Fund for aid projects to impoverished countries and for public awareness campaigns on the causes that bring about the present unbalance of wealth distribution between the peoples in the North and the South.
  
  
• To promote and support the efforts of the official institutions, bodies, and associations, in order to create, among the citizens, a view that favours a new international economical order.
  
  
• To boost the citizens' participation, through adequate campaigns and information, in the cooperation projects with impoverished countries, and in the construction of a more participatory democracy.
  
  
• To collaborate so that the minimum earmark of the 0.7% of the gross national product for public aid to impoverished countries comes true, according to the United Nations agreements, signed by Spain.
  
  
• To become a collective ethical voice which reports any situation that commits a grave outrage against human rights, and which can put forward proposed bills and proposed resolutions in favour of solidarity and cooperation in any sphere of political representation.
