Basque Development NGO Coordinator

What Basque Development NGO Coordinator does

Coordinadora de ONGD de Euskadi (Basque Development NGO Coordinator) is a non-profit umbrella association founded in 1988 and headquartered in Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain. It coordinates more than 80 Basque development NGOs (ONGDs) that collectively implement international cooperation, humanitarian aid, and social transformation work, with the 2025 sector report documenting 949 projects reaching over 4 million beneficiaries across 69 countries and supported by more than 117,000 people. Its primary constituents are its member ONGDs, which it serves through sector representation, training, capacity building, advocacy on international cooperation policy, and coordination with public funders including the Basque Agency for Cooperation and Solidarity (eLankidetza), the three Basque provincial councils, and multiple municipal governments. The organization also engages the broader Basque public through awareness campaigns, volunteer recruitment, and donation drives focused on international development, gender equality, humanitarian response, and global justice.

The Coordinator does not develop proprietary technology products. Its digital infrastructure consists of a WordPress-based website (ongdeuskadi.org) hosting member directory and news content, a dedicated sector-report microsite (informedelsector.ongdeuskadi.org), an educational resource catalog (recursoseducativos.ongdeuskadi.org), and a funding opportunities portal (Convocatorias). It distributes a bilingual (Basque/Spanish) email newsletter (Boletín Munduz Mundu / Munduz Mundu Buletina) and maintains social media presence on Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The principal information products are the annual Informe del Sector de las ONGD Vascas (sector impact report), the Catálogo de Recursos Educativos, the Guía de ONGD socias member directory, and the Eraldagune mobilization program.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and is derived from three streams: public subsidies and grants from Basque and Spanish government institutions (eLankidetza, the provincial councils of Gipuzkoa, Álava and Bizkaia, and various municipalities), membership fees from its 80+ member ONGDs, and donations from individuals and organizations. As a civil society coordination entity registered with the Basque Government's Register of Associations (number B/1166/88), it has no shareholders, no external investors, and no parent company; it is governed collectively by its member NGOs and operates with a lean secretariat of approximately 6 staff.
