COOPERATION AND VOLUNTEERING: An approach to the figure of the volunteer in International CooperationEste artículo de revisión analiza como las ONGs se definen como instituciones intermedias entre las instituciones gubernamentales y los individuos, que se constituyen voluntariamente para satisfacer necesidades sociales y culturales mediante aportaciones de esfuerzos humanos. Así mismo, entendemos el voluntariado como una actitud humana que busca construir una sociedad donde no predomine ningún tipo de marginación y/o exclusión social. En este sentido, en el marco de la Cooperación Internacional al Desarrollo conviven profesionales y voluntarios, que tienen que andar un mismo camino con funciones diferentes y que muchas veces se entremezclan. Por lo tanto, es importante tener en cuenta la necesidad de coordinar y organizar los recursos de forma optimizada con la finalidad de responder eficazmente a las necesidades de la población donde van dirigidas las actuaciones, buscando una dimensión cívica y política, dado que ambos aspectos, están estrechamente relacionados con la transformación social.This review article examines how NGOs are defined as intermediary institutions between government institutions and individuals, voluntarily associated to satisfy social and cultural needs by means of human efforts. Furthermore, we understand volunteering as a human attitude that seeks to build a society that is free from all forms of marginalization and/or social exclusion. In this regard, in the framework of International Development Cooperation are involved both professionals and volunteers, each one will have their own duties to perform but in places they are tangential to one another. Consequently, it is important to take into account the need to coordinate and manage the resources in an optimized way in order to respond efficiently to the needs of the population where the actions are aimed, seeking a civic and political dimension, as both aspects are closely linked to social transformation.Cooperación.
