Where we work
External assistance and Latin America
The Commission provides support to Latin American countries through the Development Co-operation Instrument (DCI), which came into force in January 2007.
The main priorities for co-operation with the region are fostering social cohesion and strengthening regional integration.
The development co-operation with Latin America is organised as follows:
- With the countries, through bilateral co-operation agreements.
- With the sub-regions, which are: Central America, the Andean Community and Mercosur.
- With the region as a whole through regional programmes
