Miquel Carrillo last year proposed his own dismissal because the decline in official development assistance and defaults of the Administrations have reduced the resources of the NGO where he worked. He was the coordinator of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) in Catalonia and now works as a volunteer. Along with Carrillo, five workers of the 12 NGO workers ended in the arrest. The template is not the only thing that has remained in the half. "In Mozambique we have left half-built infrastructure," he laments.
ISF was building water sources in the district of Funhalouro in Mozambique. These infrastructures were to supply more than 7,500 inhabitants. But the project had to be suspended. The Catalan Agency, which funded 80% of this program, paid a third of aid in 2011. In 2012 the organization warned that this year and would not pay the help and that there was no provision to do so. We must, as Carrillo, 1.3 million euros. "When they stop paying you have to withdraw," said Carrillo. The result is that 2,400 people in the region were left with half-built sources. The other 5,100 people who foresaw help, not even that.
"The authorities put a budget that is not effective then. It has always been so, but in 2012 has been a cut above cut, "says Carrillo. The Official Development Assistance (ODA) provided for last year was 2,335 million euros, which in practice has been reduced to 1,700. It is aimed at cooperation 40% less than budgeted. "This has an impact in the countries where we work," says the secretary of the Federation ISF. "Paralyzed projects, we do not improve the lives of the people, nor the economy and we have to lay off employees. In Mozambique we fail to pay 60,000 euros to the supplier of drills to make holes "exemplifies.
In addition to the aid already granted unpaid, NGOs face cancellation of new calls. "In 2012 we turned up for an electrification project in Peru that financed the Government of Navarra. A week before the deadline, they said canceling the call, "says Carrillo. "It seems that ODA remove nothing happens, but it happens," ditch.
