AIETI

What AIETI does

AIETI (Asociación de Investigación y Especialización sobre Temas Iberoamericanos) is a non-governmental development organization (ONGD) founded in 1981 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain, with declared public utility status and ONGD registration with AECID since 1999. The organization works on international cooperation, research, advocacy, and social action, with a thematic focus on gender equality, women's rights (especially migrant women in Spain), and the rights of vulnerable populations in Latin America. Its primary beneficiaries are migrant women in Spain, women and youth in Latin America (Peru, Paraguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras), adolescents, and women with disabilities, served through on-the-ground projects, research publications, and awareness campaigns.

The organization does not commercialize a traditional technology product. Its 'products' are advocacy campaigns (Rompe la Cadena, #MurosInvisibles, De vos a voz), educational programs (Escuela de Empoderamiento Feminista, Mochila Pedagógica), and research publications (Tirar del Hilo series, quantitative violence reports, GREVIO shadow report, rights guides). These are distributed free of charge through digital channels (aieti.es website, social media) and through a network of more than 60 partner organizations across Latin America and Spain that deliver programs directly to beneficiaries. Underlying capabilities are research-led content production, intersectional feminist analysis, and convening of cross-border civil society networks.

AIETI's revenue model is non-commercial and consists of public subsidies and grants from the Spanish national government (Ministerio de Igualdad, Pacto de Estado contra la violencia de género), regional governments (Comunidad de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucía, Extremadura), the European Union (Erasmus+), and international agencies (AECID), supplemented by individual donations. Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the core team comprises 12 employees. The organization's competitive position rests on a 40-year relationship infrastructure, a substantial body of branded research, and unique regulatory registrations that prequalify it for public funding.
