Abstract
Desde 2005 la Cooperación Española incrementa sus recursos por
encima del 20% anual y en 2008 alcanzó el 0,45% de la RNB. En el trabajo
se cuestionan varios criterios de calidad que deberían estar asociados a esta
creciente cantidad. Se detectan aspectos positivos como el mantenimiento de
los costes de administración, el descenso de la ayuda ligada y algunos avances
en los indicadores de calidad de la Declaración de París. Se encuentran otros
componentes de baja calidad como la alta volatilidad, la no penalización a
países dictatoriales o corruptos y la ausencia casi generalizada de evaluaciones
publicadas.
Spanish ODA has risen by 20% per year since 2005 and reached 0.45% of GNI in 2008. The article analyses specific quality indicators that should be linked to such remarkable increases. Several positive aspects are identified, such as the upholding of administration costs, a lower share of tied aid and positive developments in some quality indicators connected to the Paris Declaration. However, Spanish ODA is rather volatile and it is even allocated to countries ruled by dictatorships and high corruption levels. There are almost no public evaluations available that show quality improvements on line the remarkable quantity improvement.
