Welcome to the Observatory for Decentralised Cooperation between the European Union and Latin America!
The Observatory is a tool for solidarity between cities, regions and other stakeholders. It contributes to rise quantity and most of all quality of Decentralised Cooperation in order to amplify its effects, both fighting against poverty, facilitating regional integration and strenghtening local capacities
We invite you to learn about the Observatory and to find out more about local Decentralised Cooperation between the European Union and Latin America.
In the section on Decentralised Cooperation, you will find an introduction to the subject as well as a database of initiatives compiled by the Observatory available for you to do your own searches. Regarding this, do not miss the statistics in the frontpage.
If you wish to read further, feel free to consult the selection of publications and references, along with a broad collection of links, in the Library. If you are keen to get actively involved, the Observatory offers you the opportunity to participate through the Blog and to take part in the training activities.
The Resource Centre has gradually grown and offers new tools to local and regional authorities in Latin America and Europe, and will keep improving by giving response to your needs.
