Abstract

This article includes a research paper that seeks to move away from the traditional mix of official development assistance (ODA) and International Cooperation (CI), to show the behavior of donors/suppliers for the consolidation of democracy, trough strengthening of civil society organizations (CSO). This in order to find: what has happened to international cooperation for the participation of Colombian civil society organizations? The reality is that while there are bets for strengthening, little is known. This research finds that CSOs contribute to the establishment of a public dialogue, social control and political participation. On the side of the providers of aid, it was found that the international cooperation agencies are generators of an enabling environment favorable to CSOs. In fact, they discover new roles for them.
