Abstract

International Cooperation for Development (ICD), is dynamic and its evolution depends on the different historical and specific contexts. In Colombia, the ICD, has played an important role in domestic and foreign policy, mainly to correct market failures, combat poverty and facing the effects of the internal armed conflict. However, Colombia is experiencing particular milestones, such as sustained economic growth, which meant being invited to start accession to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the peace process with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The previous milestones, are challenges in the short and medium term in relation of international development cooperation received by the country.
