| Spanish abstract | Se analiza el cambio de actitud progresivo de las principales ONGs internacionales ambientales que permite calificarlas ahora de “ONGs transnacionales”, debido a que (1) se incorporaron a nivel nacional, (2) ejecutan directamente gran parte de sus programas y proyectos, (3) actúan como intermediarios en el manejo de fondos del exterior y (4) compiten contra las ONGs nacionales para la obtención de fondos nacionales y del exterior. Se discuten sus consecuencias negativas para el movimiento ambiental de América Latina, entre ellas: (1) competición desigual para la recaudación de fondos internacionales y locales; (2) erosión del dinero disponible para las operaciones debido a la intermediación estéril, (3) debilitamiento de las ONGs ambientales nacionales. Se concluye que gran parte del problema es responsabilidad de las propias ONGs nacionales que no han sabido mantener su independencia política y financiera ni negociar de igual a igual con las ONGs internacionales. Se proponen medidas concretas para resolver los problemas identificados |
| English abstract | Over the past twenty years the most important international NGOs have changed their behavior with regard to their work in Latin America. Their new approach can be qualified as “transnational” as: (1) they are becoming incorporated in the countries where they operate, (2) they directly execute a growing portion of their programs and projects, (3) they are becoming expensive intermediaries for external funding and (4) they directly compete against national NGOs for international and local funding. The consequences of this new approach are negative for the Latin- American environmental movement as: (1) it establishes a disproportionate competition to obtain funding, (2) it is the cause of a significant erosion of the funding for environment as a consequence of useless intermediation and, (3) it is weakening national NGOs. It is established that national NGOs are also responsible for the current situation as they were unable neither to keep their political autonomy nor to collect enough local funding as to maintain essential administrative independence. Several recommendations are proposed to contribute to the solution of the identified problems |
