La Coordinadora de Organizaciones para el Desarrollo

What La Coordinadora de Organizaciones para el Desarrollo does

La Coordinadora de Organizaciones para el Desarrollo (Coordinadora ONGD) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 1986 and headquartered at C/ Juan Tornero 28, Madrid. It functions as the principal coordinating body and sector platform for development NGOs (ONGD) in Spain, comprising 77 member NGOs, 7 associate entities, and 17 regional coordinators, with a wider ecosystem of more than 600 organizations across Spain's autonomous communities. The organization has been declared of public utility since 1999 and has been registered with AECID (Agencia Espa\u00f1ola de Cooperaci\u00f3n Internacional para el Desarrollo) since January 20, 2000, and it participates in governmental advisory bodies such as the Consejo Superior de Cooperaci\u00f3n.

The platform operates a portfolio of web-based tools and services rather than a single product: the Herramienta de Transparencia y Buen Gobierno (a mandatory self-regulation mechanism in force since 2012, with the Sello de Transparencia y Buen Gobierno valid through 2027), the Informe del Sector de las ONGD (an interactive sector-wide data and reporting tool), the \u00cdndice de Coherencia de Pol\u00edticas para el Desarrollo Sostenible (ICPDS), a C\u00f3digo de Conducta binding on all members, a Canal de Denuncias powered by Sofidya, a Plataforma de Formaci\u00f3n and Campus Virtual for online training, a Bolet\u00edn Electr\u00f3nico newsletter, and a Plataforma de Empleo y Voluntariado that connects professionals with member NGOs. Underlying technology is a WordPress-based web platform with member intranet, externalized whistleblowing services, and interactive data visualizations; no proprietary AI/ML, API, or SDK is documented.

The revenue model is non-commercial and typical of a sector coordinating association: public funding and subsidies from various institutional sources (with the explicit note that no public contracts or agreements with public administrations are in place), private donations from entities and individuals, and member-based governance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and most products are offered to members and the public free of charge. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, executed through newsletters, working groups, training courses, sector campaigns (notably #EsLoNormal, 8M, and 25N), and representation in governmental and multilateral fora. The current strategic framework runs from 2025 to 2030 and is organized around six work lines, including strengthening, cooperation, decentralized cooperation, communication and education for transformation, multilateralism/civic space/peace, and policy coherence, with an explicit feminist policy orientation.

While international in scope, its membership-driven coordination, advocacy, and policy work are conceptually similar to La Coordinadora's role within Spain.
