Provincial Council grants 75 international cooperation subsidies totaling 748,500 euros

The Provincial Council of Córdoba has definitively approved the 2026 call for International Development Cooperation grants, with a final allocation of 75 projects and nearly 748,500 euros among NGODs, foundations, and city councils in the province. The agreement was adopted by the provincial Governing Board in an ordinary session on October 26, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba No. 213, of November 4, 2026 (reference BOP-A-2026-3688), signed by the delegated deputy for Development Cooperation, Auxiliadora Moreno Rueda.

Previously, the proposed final resolution was made public on the Council’s electronic notice board for the purposes of tacit acceptance deadlines. Once these passed without any opposition, the granted subsidies are understood to be accepted. The file was closed in Córdoba on October 29, 2026, and bears the Secure Verification Code 40DA 032B 9CBE F6F9 0337.

The distribution is organized into three modalities: development projects by non-governmental organizations (Modality I), humanitarian action and human rights projects by NGODs (Modality II), and city council projects (Modality III). The first two exactly exhaust their respective funds—500,000.00 euros and 150,000.00 euros—while the third distributes nearly 98,500 euros among 46 city councils and autonomous local entities.

Modality I: 500,000 euros for thirteen NGOD projects

Of the 29 applications submitted in the development modality, thirteen obtained funding until the credit was exhausted. Heading the resolution are Fundación Social Universal (CI26I.0012, file 2026/34208), with 41,500 euros for early childhood development and food security in Cusco (Peru) and 82.75 points, and Fundación Magtel (CI26I.0030), with 41,500 euros for territorial governance and bio-businesses in the Peruvian jungle.

Completing the list are Solidaridad, Educación, Desarrollo (SED), Grupo Intercultural Almaciga, Enraiza Derechos, and Bosque y Comunidad, with projects in Bolivia, Colombia, Senegal, and Mozambique.

Modality II: humanitarian action in sixteen destinations

The humanitarian action and human rights modality finances 16 of the 18 projects submitted. Brigadas Internacionales de Paz (CI26II.0013) receives 15,000 euros to accompany searching mothers in Mexico, and Fundación Madre Coraje (CI26II.0018) receives 13,000 euros for the response following floods in Nguluzane (Mozambique).

The remaining grants are distributed among Fundación Kirira (14,601.84 euros, female genital mutilation in Kenya), SED (15,000 euros, Syrian refugee population in Lebanon), Fundación La Arruzafa (12,500 euros, Mahajanga IV ophthalmological project in Madagascar), Asoc Cocina por el Cambio (11,600 euros, Sahrawi women in Tinduf), Asamblea de Cooperación por la Paz, Hermandad Cristo de la Agonía, Videssur, Fundación Baobab Mozambique, Asecop, El Mundo y África Trabajan (EL MAT), O.N.G. Amigos de Ouzal (2,500 euros for Moskota, Cameroon), Fundación Europea para la Cooperación Norte-Sur, Fundación Rodat, and Asammage.

Modality III: 46 city councils and autonomous local entities

The municipal line allocates between 1,000 and 3,000 euros per project. Most of the corporations apply grouped in consortia with the same project:

• Cusco (Peru), water and sanitation: Hinojosa del Duque, Alcaracejos, Dos Torres, Pozoblanco, and Santa Eufemia, with 3,000 euros each.
• Sexual and reproductive rights in Cusco: La Rambla, Moriles, Montilla, Nueva Carteya, Montemayor (2,999.99 euros), and Santaella (2,999.89 euros).
• Music schools of Chiquitos (Bolivia): Espejo, Castro del Río, Baena, and Valenzuela, with 3,000 euros.
• San Ignacio de Velasco (Bolivia): eleven municipalities with 1,500 euros, including Obejo, Belmez, Espiel, Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo, and Villaviciosa de Córdoba.
• Agricultural self-sufficiency in Nigeria, Chad, and northern Cameroon: seven entities with 1,000 euros, such as Ochavillo del Río, Almodóvar del Río, Posadas, and Fuente Palmera.

Also listed are Montoro, La Carlota, Carcabuey, Priego de Córdoba, Fuente Tójar, Almedinilla, Benamejí, Hornachucos, La Victoria, and the E.L.A. de Encinarejo, among others, for a total of 46 beneficiaries.

Reformulations and projects without aid

The file incorporates 25 accepted reformulations—six in modality I, eleven in II, and eight in III—submitted between September 15 and October 1, 2026 by entities such as Fundación Madre Coraje, Asociación Paz y Bien ONGD, O.N.G. Amigos de Ouzal, A.P.D., and several city councils. In modality I, eleven projects remained without a grant due to exhausted budget, despite exceeding the minimum score, including those from Aspan, Asociación Setem-Andalucía, EM-RTV, Asociación de Mujeres en Zona de Conflicto, Fundación Aproni, and Comité Español de Cooperación al Desarrollo. Another five did not reach the minimum score, such as Calma ONGD (46.50 points) or Fundación Siempre Adelante (36.00).

The impact of the resolution is twofold: it consolidates the role of the Provincial Council as a stable financier of Córdoba’s cooperation and leaves out a dozen solvent entities solely due to a lack of credit, an element that the sector usually leverages to demand budget increases in future fiscal years.
