In accordance with foreign policy guidelines and priorities established by the current Government, Brazilian technical cooperation has increased, intensified and strengthe-ned the country’s presence in the South-South context. The emphasis on cooperation between developing countries, also known as horizontal cooperation, or South-South cooperation, not only results in a greater inclusion of countries benefiting from Brazilian government actions in different continents, such as Africa, South America and the Cari-bbean, Oceania and Asia, but also in the diversity of national partners involved. These include, not only traditional cooperation institutions, such as EMBRAPA, FIOCRUZ, FARMANGUINHOS, SENAI, SEBRAE, but also representatives from the private sector, civil entities, especially, Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs).

In addition to traditional areas of interest, such as agriculture, education, technical trai-ning and qualification, the environment and health, Brazil has increasingly provided co-operation on issues that have become of pressing contemporary importance, such as the prevention of child labour and other areas involving social violence, as well as in matters related to the restoration of citizenship, with projects developed in the area of digital in-clusion.

New issues, such as bio-fuels/ethanol, are now included in the cooperation activities offered to developing countries, which have similar problems to those in Brazil and where the know-how and techniques developed or adapted in this country may be assimilated at a low cost and with a high degree of success.

In this context, this publication aims to describe technical cooperation projects that Brazil has carried out, through the Brazilian Cooperation Agency – ABC, in developing countries, divided by continent and country, so as to provide an overall view of the wide spectrum of Brazilian activities in this area. With this aim in mind, projects already in progress are listed, together with their objectives, the institutions involved in carrying out and coordinating these projects, as well as the relevant funding provided by Brazil.

During the last few years, and without neglecting other regions, the Brazilian Coope-ration Agency - ABC has concentrated its efforts in Latin America and, in particular, in South America. To this end, there are presently 119 projects being carried out in different areas of interest, in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Su-riname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

There are 22 cooperation projects presently being carried out in Central America, in con-junction with Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. In the Caribbean, there are 58 different activities being carried out between Barbados, Cuba,

Haiti, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic and Ba-sic Cooperation Agreements have been signed, sin-ce 2005, with various English-speaking Caribbean countries: Saint Lucia, the Community of the Baha-mas, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, Domi-nica, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines and Grenada, and projects already established with Barbados, Ja-maica and Trinidad & Tobago have been increased.

On the African Continent, in addition to traditio-nal cooperation projects with Portuguese-speaking countries, Brazilian cooperation has been extended to include the continent almost in its entirety, reflec-ting the importance being given to this region by the current Government of Brazil, as underlined by the opening of new embassies and official visits by the President of the Brazilian Republic as well as by the Minister of State, which have done much to establish closer and stronger bilateral relations in the region.

In Africa, 125 cooperation projects are being carried out in different areas, covering a wide range of issues, such as measures taken to treat and to prevent the occurrence of malaria, tropical agriculture, the envi-ronment, good government and the strengthening of State institutions, food safety programmes, the ma-nufacture of handcrafts, electoral training, biofuels, the management and handling of solid residues, the construction of cisterns and the collection of rainwa-ter, amongst others.

Countries receiving South-South cooperation in-clude: Angola, Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Burquin Faso, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Egypt, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Morocco, Mozambique, Na-mibia, Nigeria, Kenya, San Tome & Principe, Se-negal, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Note: International technical cooperation, on its operational level, is carried out by means of projects defined according to specific objectives, carried out one at a time and according to demand, the degree of complexity depending on time restric-tions, the number of persons and funding involved. A specific technical cooperation action or activity may involve a single individual, for a relatively short period, such as a week, or be carried out by large teams, during an extended period.

This is why it is necessary to make the distinction between an isolated activity and a project. The first is an instrument created with a well-defined and specific objective, which is complete in itself, a precise undertaking, which aims to meet one single demand, with a reduced budget. It is not linked to any other activity, is less complex, on a small scale and lasts a short period of time.

The second form of cooperation – called a project – is an operational working unit of cooperation activities, by which means external funding is transformed into a joint fund to be used for a single objective, organised and programed to meet previ-ously identified requirements.

In accordance with the United Nations Programme, all projects should include a time limit by which the desired results should be achieved, as well as a working plan, a funding program and an estimate of costs involved.

In Asia, Brazilian cooperation has been present in East Timor, even before its independence, with projects in areas such as professional qualification, business training and social progress; the transfer of coffee production know-how; community lite-racy programmes; long-distance teacher training and programmes student classes via television courses (Telecurso); business and management training; cooperation in HIV/AIDS, and support to strengthen the Justice system.

In the Middle East, 7 initiatives have been developed with Lebanon, involving projects to reconstruct the country.

The Brazilian government expects South-South Co-operation to continue to grow during the coming years, and that this should become an important instrument of foreign policy, to bring Brazil closer to developing countries. The main purpose of Brazilian cooperation is to contribute, as rapidly and effectively as possible, towards the social and economic develo-pment of partner countries, since its main aim is to help strengthen the recipient country’s national ins-titutions, and should not, therefore, be tied to, or be used in any form as a pre-investment, or be linked to any commercial objective since such cooperation is directed by the principle of partnership being used for development.

This publication, which has been prepared with in-formation provided by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency - ABC, proposes to present a wide view of Brazilian activities in South-South cooperation, so as to promote a greater understanding of the efforts being made by Brazil in favour of develo-ping countries.
