Spanish Cooperation has been present in Ethiopia since 2007 when it opened a Technical Cooperation Office (OTC in its Spanish acronym) and signed the First Basic Cooperation Agreement and the first Joint Commission Ethiopia-Spain for the 2008-2010 period. Since 2011, the Country Partnership Framework 2011-2015 (CPF) has guided the work of Spanish Cooperation in the country. The current IV Master Plan of Spanish Cooperation (2013-2016) includes Ethiopia among its priority countries for development cooperation partnership. The Country Partnership Framework 2011-2015 (CPF) is the joint country partnership strategy that establishes common development results between Spain and Ethiopia within the framework of the Paris Declaration and Busan Partnership Agreement on Aid Effectiveness. The preparation of the CPF in 2010 coincided in time with the development of the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) by the Government of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian development strategy for the period 2011-2015. The GTP aimed at boosting a national transformation and growth process designed to lift the country out of poverty and place it on the path to become a middle-income country by 2020. The CPF also coincided with the last years of the agenda of the Millennium Development Goals.
