What Entrepueblos does

Entrepueblos (legally Asociación Entrepueblos/Entrepobles/Entrepobos/Herriarte) is a Spanish non-governmental organization for development (ONGD) founded in 1988 and headquartered in Barcelona, with a second technical office in Valencia. The organization operates a membership-based model with more than 1,400 individual members ("socios/as") distributed across 20+ territorial organizations in regions including Catalunya, País Valencià, Euskadi y Navarra, Castilla y León, Madrid, Illes Balears, Asturias, Galicia, Murcia, Andalucía and Castilla-La Mancha. Its mission is the construction of critical alternatives to the neoliberal model through three pillars — Justice, Sovereignty, and Feminisms — combining solidarity cooperation with Latin America (El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, MST Brazil), transformative education, and political advocacy from a feminist, anti-racist and decolonial perspective. It is qualified by AECID (ONGD Calificada) and passes the Coordinadora Estatal de ONGD Transparency and Good Governance evaluation, lending institutional credibility to its advocacy.

The organization's core programmatic outputs are non-commercial: the semi-annual Revista Entrepueblos magazine, the Activistas por la Vida documentary project with photojournalist Gervasio Sánchez on environmental and human-rights defenders in Central America, ecosocial education activities delivered through municipal collaborations (Cheste, Chiva), training programming via "Escuela Acción Entrepueblos," and critical research publications such as the EU-Mercosur trade-agreement analysis produced with Ecologistas en Acción. There is no proprietary technology platform, no commercial product line, and no APIs or SDKs; digital infrastructure is a multilingual WordPress website plus presence on Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon and Telegram. Funding flows from three streams: membership fees (recommended at €87/year, with reduced and custom options), public/institutional grants (AECID, Generalitat Valenciana, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Agencia Catalana de Cooperació al Desarrollo and others, all subject to annual external audit), and donations/campaign contributions eligible for up to 80% IRPF tax deduction under Spanish law. The board is volunteer, elected biennially, with no external investors or holding structures.

Core offering

Entrepueblos is a Spanish non-governmental development organization (ONGD) that delivers international solidarity cooperation with Latin America, transformative ecosocial education, and political advocacy. It mobilizes an active membership base of over 1,400 individuals across Spain through territorial organizations, funds and accompanies solidarity projects with indigenous, peasant, feminist and human rights movements in Latin America, and produces publications, campaigns, and educational resources aimed at justice, sovereignty, and feminisms.

Product overview

Entrepueblos operates as a civil society organization offering a portfolio of solidarity cooperation projects, transformative education programs, and advocacy campaigns rather than a unified software product. The core offerings include the periodic Revista Entrepueblos magazine, the Activistas por la Vida documentary project with Gervasio Sánchez, ecosocial education activities delivered through municipal collaborations, the 'Territorios Vivos' empowerment project, and a resources hub containing educational materials and critical research reports such as the EU-Mercosur analysis. These offerings are interconnected through Entrepueblos' three strategic axes: Justice, Sovereignty, and Feminisms, serving members, activists, and partner organizations across Spain and Latin America.
