The origin of the Spanish policy of development cooperation has its legal basis in the declaration contained in the preamble of the 1978 Constitution, where the Spanish nation proclaims its will to collaborate in the strengthening of peaceful relations and effective cooperation among all The peoples of the Earth.

For its part, Article 51 of the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia establishes the obligation of the Generalitat to promote peace and development of peoples through the corresponding actions and policies of cooperation.

The policy of international cooperation for development is a fundamental aspect of the external action of democratic states in relation to those countries that have not reached the same level of development. It is based on an interdependent and supportive conception of the international society and the relationships that develop in it.

Law 23/1998, of July 7, on international cooperation for development articulates in a single text the set of measures and instruments that shape our development cooperation policy. Article 20 provides for cooperation between autonomous communities and local entities as a joint expression of their respective societies, based on the principles of budgetary autonomy and self-responsibility in their development and implementation.

In this sense, the Parliament of Catalonia approved Law 26/2001, of December 31, of cooperation, in charge of elaborating the guidelines and guiding principles of the actions of cooperation promoted by the government through the writing of the Master Plan of cooperation to the Development, which is the main technical expression of the Generalitat's policy on development cooperation. The 2015-2018 Master Plan was approved by Resolution no. 103-X / 2015, of April 22, and is valid until December 31, 2018.

Our Master Plan is a participatory instrument that has three key elements: to be a rigorous model, to simplify forms (despite the national and international administrative complexities), to foster relations between cities and to strengthen the role of citizens.
