In recent years, International Development Cooperation has assumed particular importance in scientific research and there are currently several studies of general scope or limited to a smaller geographical or thematic space, such as those that focus on national cooperation policies. In general, these works have sought not only to explain its historical, institutional and strategic evolution, but also to constitute a basis for reflection on a long journey of ideas, values and practices that it has been following and its results with partner countries.
Portuguese Cooperation is no exception and, in general, all
the publications that contextualize it refer directly or indirectly to the
general values by which it is governed.
However, there aren´t studies that identify the individual
reference values of the action of the Cooperation actors in their practice of
identifying, managing, and evaluating projects. In this article, we intend to
identify the values considered as guiding principles of the action that the
actors of the Portuguese Cooperation individually consider in the practices
they develop. Such an intention constitutes a real innovation, since the only
values identified so far are those that governments include in the strategies
presented, more or less inspired by the documents of the European Union (EU)
and the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD).
