- Abstract
Morazan project is an aerospace project for the integration of the Central American region, where a cubesat will be developed in Honduras with the support of Costa Rica and Guatemala, the satellite will gather information to prevent natural disasters and generate early warnings, this satellite will also have the Support from Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech, in English) in Japan. International Cooperation is at a time when cooperation flows reflect a tendency to decrease development financing due to the strong economic crises faced by developed countries, so development financing has focused its resources mainly on developing countries of Low Income, produced a displacement of Latin America and the Caribbean as a recipient of Official Development Assistance (ODA), having high rates of human development, so that of Middle Income Countries, which for the most part are in Latin America, they have been forced to rethink International Cooperation because they can’t enjoy the resources they really need. There is currently talk of a new architecture of ODA, with non-traditional cooperation providers that had not been present in international cooperation for development, generating new forms of cooperation such as South South Cooperation (SSC) also known as Technical Cooperation for the Development (DTCD). The need to continue with external resources has made these developing countries promote and establish other forms of cooperation in the international cooperation agenda, such as SSC, which can become the most effective form of cooperation so that these developing countries can continue counting on external resources to increase attention to the problems they face, especially in Latin America, besides that this modality has favorable conditions for cooperation due to the proximity of trajectories, similar national scenarios in terms of history and economy.
