«A first condition for us to come to reality and get to know it»
Eduardo Galeano – How did you see it open in Latin America
Latin America and the Caribbean share a colonial legacy and deep socioeconomic inequalities that today produce vulnerabilities. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the region experienced significant improvements in expanding public services and fighting poverty.
During this period, although accompanied by the continuity of neoliberal structural adjustment programs, the Latin American economies grew at an average rate of 2% of GDP between 1990 and 2008 (ECLAC, 2015). It is clear that these growths were uneven, with greater increases in Panama (3.4%), Peru (3.3%), Uruguay (2.8%) and smaller in Guatemala (0.7%), Salvador (0. 6%) and Paraguay (0.5%). This period also represented a growth in the participation of civil society organizations (CSO) in both wealth generation and job creation. In this sense, the Comparative Project of the Non-Profit Sector informs that for the year 2004 the contribution of this sector was 4.9% in Chile, 4.8% in Argentina, 2.5% in Peru and 1.6% in Brazil (Irarrázaval, 2006).
