This article analyzes the adoption of project management practices in development cooperation NGOs and their influence on project performance. This paper illustrates the impact in the implementation of methodologies, techniques and tools on outcomes, measured by success criteria of several projects recently implemented. Information from the project managers of the organizations was collected, and complemented by a literature review. We analyzed the correlation among the variables that determine the adoption of a project, and the criteria that determine its success. The positive effect of project management adoption in the performance of cooperation projects is demonstrated, in spite of the low use of methodologies, techniques and tools within the sector. The article shows the importance of project management in cooperation and aid projects, with the purpose of increasing researchers' awareness about the field as applicable knowledge and about the benefits of its use in the sector. The paper shows that project management can improve project efficiency and accountability in other sectors.

Este artículo analiza la adopción de prácticas propias de la gestión de proyectos en las ONG destinadas a la cooperación para el desarrollo, así como su influencia en la ejecución y el impacto de la aplicación de metodologías, técnicas y herramientas, en los resultados obtenidos por varios proyectos de reciente ejecución. Para tales efectos, se recolectó información de los directores de proyectos de las organizaciones seleccionadas, y adicionalmente se llevó a cabo una revisión de literatura sobre el tema. Con esta información se analizó la correlación entre las variables que determinan la adopción de un proyecto y los criterios que fijan el éxito en su ejecución, demostrando el efecto positivo de la adopción de este enfoque en la realización de proyectos de cooperación, a pesar de la escasa aplicación de las metodologías propuestas. El documento muestra la importancia de la gestión de proyectos en planes de cooperación y ayuda internacional, y tiene como objetivo incentivar el interés de los investigadores en el área dando a conocer los beneficios de su adopción en el sector. Por último, se demuestra que la aplicación de este enfoque también trae ventajas para el desarrollo de proyectos en otros sectores.
