Main Article Content

Abstract

Non-Governmental Organisations for Development have been and are an essential actor in the politics of Spanish Cooperation, when it comes to raising awareness and when it comes to their capacity to bring about changes directed at creating greater social justice. This article examines their history and present, as well as future challenges from the point of view of their political and social relevance and influence. It stresses their role as important and necessary actors, and the need for their response in the face of climate change and rising inequality, describing how they could maintain a significant, though not always leading, role in bringing about necessary changes by offering political courage and intelligence, humility and determination as key factors in a confusing and polarised political world.
