Organization: COOPI – Cooperazione Internazionale
Country: Bolivia (Plurinational State of)
Closing date: 15 Jan 2017

Antecedentes

COOPI es una Organización No Gubernamental, laica, apolítica, que trabaja a nivel internacional a través de proyectos de desarrollo e intervenciones de ayuda humanitaria en América Latina y Caribe, África y Oriente Medio. Desde su fundación en Italia en 1965 se ha comprometido a combatir las injusticias y las causas que ocasionan pobreza, para contribuir a construir un futuro en el que se garanticen a todos, condiciones de vida adecuadas, derechos fundamentales, e igualdad de oportunidades.

COOPI inicia a operar en Bolivia a partir del año 1985, inicialmente a través de una importante colaboración con la misión salesiana de Kami, en Cochabamba, luego, una vez obtenidos los reconocimientos legales ha trabajado siempre más de manera autónoma en diferentes áreas geográficas del país. Hasta ahora se han implementado más de 50 intervenciones en los departamentos de Cochabamba, Potosí, La Paz, Beni y en la región del Chaco Boliviano (Santa Cruz, Chuquisaca y Tarija). Sectores históricos de intervención han sido el desarrollo rural integrado en áreas remotas y marginadas (seguridad alimentaria, agua, educación formal e informal, servicios socio-económicos, energías renovables) con particular énfasis en el sector socio-sanitario a través de asistencia sanitaria, fortalecimiento de servicios y la promoción de la salud intercultural, intervenciones principalmente financiadas por MAE (Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Italia) y de la Unión Europea.

En las últimas décadas (a partir aproximativamente del año 2000) las acciones de COOPI en el país se han ampliado a nuevos ámbitos, dedicándose a la asistencia humanitaria (en respuesta a sequías, inundaciones y bajas temperaturas), así como a la reducción de riesgo de desastres (DRR), a través de programas financiados principalmente por ECHO y fondos CERF (agencias de NNUU); además de promover programas de Derechos Humanos y Gobernabilidad concentrados en las poblaciones indígenas, financiados por la Delegación de la Unión Europea y llevados a cabo con co-partes locales (CONAMAQ, APG, Fundación Construir). En los últimos años el trabajo de COOPI es principalmente reconocido tanto en áreas urbanas (El Alto) como en áreas rurales (el Altiplano y el Chaco), donde trabaja sobre todo para mejorar la resiliencia de las comunidades frente posibles shocks externos, el acceso y la gestión del agua, la protección y la diversificación de los medios de vida, todo promoviendo un abordaje de derechos, gobernabilidad y gestión del territorio, en línea con las políticas promovidas por el gobierno central del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia.

A partir de inicios de 2017, COOPI coordinará una intervención de 3 años financiada por el AICS (Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo): “Chipaya: memorias del agua y del viento.
