FUNIBER promotes and conducts international cooperation projects, mainly financed with European funds, aimed at different regions and territories seeking to strengthen their development capacities. To this end, it integrates academic knowledge, technology, and specialized human capital, consolidating its position as an agent that contributes to sustainable development in more than 35 countries.
Within this framework, FUNIBER works both in the design, management, and integral execution of cooperation and economic development projects and in the training of the agents involved in them, ensuring that the initiatives have trained teams with a solid technical base.
Through this approach, the Foundation is involved in initiatives that address key development challenges. Among its priorities is the improvement of living conditions to reduce malnutrition in a sustainable manner. It also promotes processes that enable communities to formulate well-structured projects with real options of receiving support from international organizations, including technical consultancy when appropriate. It also promotes more democratic environments by training development agents who are aware of the needs of communities and committed to social participation, respect for the environment, and good governance practices.
Lines of Work
The geographical line takes advantage of FUNIBER's presence in different countries to promote collaborations with universities, governments, and public and private institutions. This approach facilitates the creation of academic and professional links, the dissemination of knowledge, and the building of supportive communities. One example is the cooperation between Equatorial Guinea and Angola, which allowed the selection of Equatoguinean teachers to occupy Spanish Language positions at the Universidade Internacional do Cuanza.
The sectorial line is oriented to the generation of applied knowledge in specific areas. Through this modality, entrepreneurship projects, technological initiatives for business development, and support programs for professionals in regions with development challenges are promoted. In this line, collaboration between FUNIBER and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) is an example of a sectoral line, as it focuses academic training and scholarships on strengthening professional capabilities in the agricultural sector, a strategic area for sustainable development in Latin America.
