Bolivia

When Sweden a few years ago decided to realign its long term cooperation policy, Bolivia was the one country in South America that made the cut. Although slightly higher up in the development rankings than many of the other countries selected, it remains one of the poorest countries in that part of the world.

In close cooperation with the Dutch NGO IICD (www.iicd.org), SPIDER is set to start two new projects in Bolivia. They are both dealing with ICT and Gender and our counterparts are Bolivian NGOs Casa de la Mujer and CIDOB (Centro de Investigaciones de Relaciones Internacionales y Desarrollo).
