| Sumario: | Since 1975 the Saharawi people have lived in exile due to a regional conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front (supported by Algeria) for the control of Western Sahara. These people live as refugees in the Tinduf camps in Algeria. Some international organizations and organized civil society mo-bilize resources (technical, economic, human) to manage the humanitarian crisis experienced in those camps.This article aims to expose the role of international cooperation in the refugee camps administration located in Tinduf, Algeria. The time scope of analysis is from the beginning of the exodus (1975-1976) until 2022. It an-swers the question: what role does international cooperation have and has had in the Algerian refugee camps management? It is highlighted the role of Spain as primary provider and that inter-national (technical) cooperation through Official Development Assistance (ODA) has a central role in the subsistence of these camps since they provide them with infrastructure. It is necessary to continue analyzing the efforts of international development cooperation that support the Saharawi refugee camps, which has gone from being assistance, to being an increasingly sus-tainable cooperation. That is, cooperation that focuses on providing tools for the camp to be self-sufficient. |
