INTRODUCTION
«Solidarity does not end within frontiers when we say “our Nation
is the other”. In Argentina we also outstretch the helping hand of
solidarity to the other brother country of our suffered Latin America,
punished for so long. That is what we are doing today. In that framework
of South-South Cooperation…».
PRESIDENT CRISTINA FERNÁNDEZ DE KIRCHNER
VIDEOCONFERENCE AT INAUGURATION OF
THE NÉSTOR KIRCHNER HOSPITAL IN HAITI, JUNE 4TH 2013
For the Argentine Republic, South-South
Cooperation is a fundamental pillar of its
foreign policy. It is through South South,
bilateral and Triangular Cooperation that
our country cooperates with other countries
partners’ unconditionallity, on the basis of
solidarity and on an equal footing.
In this context, the purpose of this document
is to provide practical information on the
functioning of the Argentine Fund for SouthSouth and Triangular Cooperation (FO.AR),
which is the instrument chosen by the Argentine
Republic to carry out bilateral and triangular
South-South Cooperation projects.
This manner of connections linkages with the
world is consistent with our foreign policy,
aimed at achieving a more balanced, equitable
and multilateral world, with respect for
sovereignties.
It should be noted that the South-South
Cooperation projects described below are but
a few of the projects that we have carried out
in conjunction with different countries in the
fields of Administration and Governance,
Human Rights and Sustainable Development,
areas in which we regard it as essential to
enhance our cooperation.
One of the greatest challenges the world
faces today is to work on reducing asymmetries,
both at a regional and global level. SouthSouth Cooperation is an essential tool in this
regard, as it allows States to share their best
public policies, which (through horizontal,
joint and consensus-based work) are adapted
to their own idiosyncrasies and specific needs.
In doing so, we strengthen the capacities of
our States, which are responsible for building
and guaranteeing social, cultural, economic
and political equality for our populations.
National needs and priorities certainly vary
from country to country and are not universal.
Thus, this presentation is intended only as a
starting point for a joint process that we must
embark upon in order to identify areas of mutual
interest in which we can pursue cooperation.
We hope that this document serves that
purpose and becomes a useful tool in building
closer ties and enhancing our cooperation.

THE ARGENTINE FUND FOR
SOUTH-SOUTH AND TRIANGULAR
COOPERATION (FO.AR)
Through this Fund, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs finances and develops
bilateral and triangular technical cooperation projects, by means of partnership,
collaboration and mutual support mechanisms.
Throughout its 20 years of life, FO.AR has received over 6000 requests for technical
cooperation on fields in which Argentina has vast experience, such as agriculture, cattle
farming, food security, health, education, labour, productive development, administration,
governance and human rights.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
WHAT DOES IT FINANCE?
The South-South Cooperation financed by
FO.AR seeks to:
Through FO.AR, Argentina finances:
• Form and consolidate partnerships for
•
•
development with other countries, pursuant
to their strategies and domestic priorities,
and ensure the participation of all interested
parties.
Generate and support the strengthening
of spaces and mechanisms that promote
the exchange of knowledge, technology
and best practices between Argentine
organizations and their counterparts in
other countries, with a view to continually
reinforcing the development capacities of
each organization.
Develop methodologies and instruments
in order to dynamize technical assistance
processes and maximize the use of human
and financial resources.
• The sending of Argentine experts abroad.
•
•
The sending of experts from Argentine
institutions makes it possible to assist and
cooperate with technicians from foreign
institutions in their development techniques
and the design and implementation of
various public policies.
Hosting of foreign professionals. This
makes it possible to welcome professionals
from other countries in Argentine institutions, so that they may acquire firsthand
knowledge of Argentina’s specific processes,
practices or experiences that may be useful
for their institutions.
The holding of seminars. Through this
component, FO.AR cooperates in the organization and holding of international Seminars on various matters of common interest.
7
HOW ARE PROJECTS
IMPLEMENTED?
• Results-based
management. For the
purpose of ensuring the greatest possible
transparency and effectiveness in the
cooperation provided, FO.AR attaches
special importance to the assessment of
activities. At the end of each mission,
Argentine and foreign experts must submit
a report to their respective institutions,
containing an analysis of the tasks
performed and their recommendations.
Likewise, at the end of a project, both the
Argentine and the foreign institution must
submit a report assessing the results and
impact of the project.
HOW TO REQUEST
SOUTH-SOUTH COOPERATION
FROM ARGENTINA
•
With a view to moving forward in the design
of a cooperation project within the framework
of FO.AR, you must contact the Embassy of
the Argentine Republic in your country or
the General Directorate for International
Cooperation in Argentina. They will inform
you about how to make the request, which
may require an assessment mission from our
experts, as well as the submission of Form
A1 available in five different languages at
www.foargentina.cancilleria.gov.ar.
• Costs. FO.AR finances the trips of techni-
cians by paying their tickets, travel costs and
medical insurance, but it may also share
those costs with its foreign counterparts,
where so agreed.
• Local Support Network. Argentine representations in the world are key actors in the provision of the Cooperation offered by the country.

COOPERATION AXES
Argentine cooperation officials design, develop and implement projects based on the
principles of South-South Cooperation and joint work and bearing in mind the strategies,
interests and needs of the partner country.
In this context, we include below a sample of some of the projects carried out throughout
the 20 years of life of our Fund, which summarize the different capacities that the Argentine
state has and offers for the purpose of international cooperation.
1 ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE
In this field, South-South Cooperation seeks to support
the efforts made by the institutions of partner States
in order to recover, consolidate and extend the
management capacity of their government structures.
Therefore, the projects carried out in this area help to
strengthen the capacities of government officials and
institutions for the management and/or making of public
policies. This work has gradually given rise to fruitful
development partnerships, with great potential for
growth, between requesting organizations and cooperating
Argentine organizations, which cover a very wide range
of sectors.
2 HUMAN RIGHTS
Ever since the restoration of democracy in Argentina,
this field has become a State Policy and a cornerstone
of our foreign policy. It rests on four pillars: memory,
truth, justice and reparation. The technical development achieved in this field by professionals and organizations in our country is well-known and has made
it possible for Argentina’s South-South Cooperation to
provide technical assistance to various peoples whose
rights have been violated by similar political processes
in other parts of the world.
3 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This is the longest-standing and most developed area.
South-South Cooperation Projects grouped under this
heading are aimed at favouring the development of the
agroindustrial, healthcare, industrial and service sectors,
as well as scientific-technological capacities, while
guaranteeing quality employment and social inclusion.
Thus, they also seek to promote the preservation of natural
resources, without jeopardizing the ability of future
generations to satisfy their needs. Furthermore, the
purpose of these projects is for organizations receiving
assistance to be provided with the necessary installed
capacity to continue with this approach on development.
