Surely you have heard the term international cooperation on more than one occasion . What you may not have heard so often is what it entails or how you are acting to obtain adequate financing for these objectives. New call to action In this post we want to talk to you about the concept, its usefulness and what is being done in our country as well as what needs to change. Let's roll up our sleeves, there's a lot to do! International cooperation A group of volunteers during the distribution of food to refugees.

This concept refers to the voluntary help of a donor or a country towards another, that is, the population of a territory is aware of the needs of another country and tries to contribute its grain of sand. These contributions do not necessarily have to come from a government, but can be established between organizations and other countries. How was the concept of international cooperation born? Its origin dates back to 1945, following the signing of the San Francisco Charter or United Nations Charter. Its chapter X is dedicated precisely to the need for international economic and social cooperation, especially after the aftermath of the war.
After this signing, the concept and the aid were developed little by little. Documents such as the Millennium Declaration , which establishes the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in 2000, or the International Conferences on Financing for Development , held in Monterrey (Mexico), Qatar and Ethiopia, stand out; in addition to the 2015 Sustainable Development Asia Mobile Number List Summit, where the Development Agenda with the Sustainable Development Goals was adopted. As you can see, there is no shortage of frameworks and countries involved in generating agreements! Let's see, now, how they materialize. 4 areas where international cooperation works One of the main reasons why international cooperation is necessary for global balance is the different areas on which it works. That is why we want to talk to you about the lines of action followed in international aid and the importance of continuing to develop them: Health For almost two decades, international cooperation has been taking this area into account, and in this way a new network of international institutions and actors has been configured that have been changing the way in which health policies are applied at the national level.
These advances as global health . Thus, the Global Health Agenda focuses above all on the control of infectious diseases and health programs aimed mainly at priority groups and environmental aspects that are directly related to the health of the population of the most disadvantaged countries. In this way, most of the efforts are invested in the promotion of research and education, areas in which greater funding is required to achieve the objectives. New call to action Education It is a fundamental factor in social transformation, because it helps create new generations involved and aware of the needs of the planet. For this reason, several civil society actors focus their efforts on obtaining financing to develop educational projects in countries that have the most difficulties in offering access to quality education. Environment The health of the planet and the development of the population are closely linked. Our survival depends on the health of our ecosystems, which are the source of production of our goods and services. For this reason, a large part of the funds for international cooperation are aimed precisely at preserving the environment , through policies to reduce polluting emissions or reforestation, for example.
