The DR and the Andalusia Council have signed a cooperation agreement focusing on education, health, drinking water and strengthening municipal government. The agreement with the Spanish regional government also includes construction of dams, as well as rural development and the promotion of equal opportunities between men and women. The agreement has a budget of between EUR16 million and EUR20 million. The cooperation agreement will last for four years and was signed by DR Vice President Rafael Alburquerque and Gaspar Zarrias Arevalo, councilor from the Andalusia Council. Diario Libre writes that a special council will be responsible for determining which areas of the DR need these initiatives. Prior to the agreement, the relationship between the DR and the Autonomous Community of Andalusia was indirect, through the work of NGOs.
