During 2022 and 2023, Spain executed 79 initiatives, a significantly higher percentage (65%) compared to the previous two-year period (49). Part of this growth can be explained by this country’s commitment to Triangular Cooperation -in the role of second provider-, modality that accounts for two thirds of its initiatives. The remaining 33% of the exchanges were executed through Regional SSC, in which Spain mostly played a dual role. 

Spain shared its experience in sectors such as Environment; Health; and Enterprises, among others. When it played a dual role, this country mainly contributed to strengthen topics related to Culture; Strengthening institutions and public policies; and Education. Its participation as recipient of Regional SSC was also related to this last sector. 

Spain’s main partners in this period were Colombia, Costa Rica and Uruguay. Its cooperation contributed to advance the achievement of SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth) and SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities).
