Abstract

Cooperation agreements based on Triangular Cooperation are gaining momentum in the development community and are widely recognized as tools to promote development effectiveness. Although there is no globally agreed definition of Triangular Cooperation (as it has several modalities depending on the actors involved), there is a common understanding that it involves at least one provider of knowledge and facilitates the sharing of experiences with other developing countries. In Latin America, Brazil has emerged in recent years as an important provider of knowledge and technical cooperation. The Brazilian National Service for Industrial Apprenticeship (SENAI), in partnership with the Peruvian Vocational Training Institute (SENATI) and the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ), entered into a cooperation agreement that resulted in the creation of the Center for Environmental Technologies (CTA), based in Peru. The Center aims at training professionals in areas related to clean production and environmental conservation. Its establishment shows that Triangular Cooperation succeeds when the institutions involved share ownership, have similar strategic interests, and expect to derive mutual benefits from the partnership.
