Services and projects
Generally, CODESUP works mostly through partnerships with various local or regional bodies, depending on the project. This can be done through own initiative
and further integration of bigger partners, or above all through an intermediate role between the public and the private sector.
However, there is a great amount of projects which CODESUP realizes on its own account, such as schooling, training and education projects in the fields of environment and business.
Furthermore it annually grants scholarships for theses in geography, economics and politics, which above all deal with local topics.
To be more specific, CODESUP integrates a network of institutions which dedicate themselves to sustainable local development. Of great importance is its integration in the Programa Santiago Emprende Norponiente (through Chile Emprende), composed by public services and which is destinated to fomento productivo (productive support) of small companies and people working on their own account. These public services consist mainly on the Servicio de Cooperacion Tecnica (SERCOTEC), the Servicio Nacional de Capacitacion y Empleo (SENCE) and the Fondo de Solidaridad e Inversion Social (FOSIS). To these add the municipalities of Pudahuel, Quilicura, Cerro Navia, Lo Prado and Quinta Normal, and many other associations such as the Asociacion de Industrias del Area Norte de Santiago (Quilicura), the Asociacion de Industrias de Quinta Normal (ASIQUINTA) and others of micro and small entrepreneurs. It works toghether with ProChile, a Chilean government agency specialized in the promotion of exports, and other academic and technical bodies with the overall goal of better monitor the comuna Pudahuel.
Additionally, CODESUP maintains an international cooperation agreement with the Excelentisima Diputacion Provincial de Caceres, Extremadura, Spain, in the area of activities of superior formation in sustainable local administration and government, including Spanish and Chilean experts. The beneficiaries of these programmes are local leaders, professionals and functionaries of local authorities in Pudahuel. During 2007 and 2008 the focus will be on the assistance on the implementation of the Agenda 21 in the comuna Pudahuel.
