MARIN-ARANGUREN, Erli Margarita. What has happened to international cooperation for the participation of Colombian CSOs?. Relac. int. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.55, pp.51-68. ISSN 2314-2766.

This article includes a line if research that seeks to move away from the tradi- tional mix of official development assistance (ODA) and International Cooperation (IC), in order to show the behaviour of donors/suppliers working towards the consolidation of democracy by strengthening civil society organizations (CSO). The purpose is to find out what has happened to international cooperation for the participation of Colombian civil society organizations. In reality, while there have been attempts at strengthening them, little is still known. This research concludes that CSOs contribute to the establishment of public dialogue, social control and political participation. In connection with aid provid- ers, it has been found out that international cooperation agencies create an enabling environment favourable to CSOs and, in fact, discover new roles for these organizations.

Palavras-chave : Civil society; development cooperation; enabling environment; value and participation offer.
