Italy has its roots in its policy of international cooperation and aid for development, Mrs Stilli states. In the interview, then, a look to the future: “We believe that international cooperation’s goal, like before the pandemic emergency, must be the implementation of the 2030 agenda, making all modalities, tools and actors compete to carry out an effective action in emergency situations such as a pandemic, but with a vision for the future.”

 

Social cohesion and healthcare issues to solve: anti-COVID doctors to support for Italian NGOs and cooperation system

Silvia Stilli continues, “for us, investments in development cooperation at the time of COVID-19 must address to the healthcare and development issues at the same time. A fairer and more sustainable development. Because pandemics are not only an attack on health but also a danger for social cohesion “.

“A strong relationship between various realities in Umbria (Central Italian region), like municipalities, local authorities, the associations and NGO, and Chile and Brazil”, says the spokeswoman. “In particular, in the past, there have been some events that saw international cooperations. Like when a large portion of the population from Pinochet’s Chile fled in support of those in Brazil who worked and continued to do so in favor of the weakest and poorest sections of the population”.

“After the earthquake in Umbria, those countries, Chile and Brazil, sent their solidarity. The demonstration of closeness arrived under a collection of funds to alleviate the victims of the earthquake suffering”.

The money they collected was not important. The importance has been their wish of being close to us, in a harsh time of need.
