Eight Delegated Cooperation programs in 2021
Delegated Cooperation is a type of cooperation in which one entity entrusts one or more other entities to act on its behalf. In this case, the Cooperation Fund for Water and Sanitation coordinates different water programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean thanks to the EU’s trust, some of them through blending instruments (mixed donation and credit funding) channelled through LAIF (Latin America Investment Facility) funds, or through the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). In these joint operations, the contribution of the FCAS is usually aimed at including the most remote and vulnerable populations in rural and peri-urban areas in the interventions, ensuring adequate conditions for the effective fulfilment of Human Rights to Water and Sanitation, and the development of public policies.
In 2021, eight Delegated Cooperation programmes are in progress, although one of them is still awaiting the formalisation of the remaining funders.
