EU-funded Programa Cuenca Poopó, Bolivia, 2010–2015: EUR 14.21 million planned for the Poopó basin
Nature's voice · report
In April 2015 the programme working in my basin had executed EUR 11,606,900.94, and its own document says the target of recovering my water sources to international norms was not feasible within its period.

The Programa de Gestión Sostenible de los Recursos Naturales de la Cuenca del Lago Poopó, financed by the European Union with Bolivian counterpart funds, planned EUR 14,210,000 over 60 months from April 2010 and reports EUR 11,606,900.94 executed by April 2015. The programme's own systematisation states that its water-recovery target was not feasible within the programme period; Lake Poopó was reported dry in December 2015.

What?
An EU-financed programme with Bolivian counterpart funds, planned at EUR 14,210,000 over 60 months from April 2010, for sustainable management of the natural resources of the Poopó basin: basin policies, ecosystem conservation, poverty and migration reduction and local institutions.

6 of 6 questions (what, who, where, when, why, how) have an answer on record
What happened
The record, in order.
The financing agreement for the Programa de Gestión Sostenible de los Recursos Naturales de la Cuenca del Lago Poopó (Convenio DCI-ALA/2009/021-614) was signed on 12 April 2010 for 60 months; the European Union later extended it to December 2015. OCMAL, the Latin American mining-conflicts observatory, reported on 3 July 2011 a budget of EUR 14 million, of which the EU provided EUR 10 million and the Bolivian state EUR 3 million; seven municipalities (Huanuni, Machacamarca, Pazña, Poopó, El Choro, Antequera and Oruro) submitted 76 projects for an execution phase of 58 million bolivianos, and the first phase reached 44% of its objectives. BBC Mundo reported in December 2015 that the agreement was for about US$15 million. The programme's stated aim was "un manejo sostenible de los recursos naturales de la Cuenca Poopó".
A systematisation prepared in 2015 by GERENSSA S.R.L. for the programme records the budget as of April 2015: the EU planned EUR 10,935,000 and executed EUR 9,031,578.88 (83%); the counterpart planned EUR 3,275,000 and executed EUR 2,575,322.06 (79%); the total planned EUR 14,210,000 and executed EUR 11,606,900.94 (82%). It lists four components (basin policies and strategies; ecosystem conservation; poverty and migration reduction; local institutions) and reports more than 180 projects or actions benefiting over 85,000 people directly and indirectly, a Plan Director of the Poopó basin formulated by the GITEC–COBODES consortium between February 2013 and October 2014, 94 conservation projects, drinking water in 10 communities in four municipalities (about 6,500 people), sewerage in three municipalities, irrigation or micro-irrigation in 10 communities and the financing of three pilot tailings dams (Japo–Huanuni, Bella Vista–Poopó and Alantaña–Poopó). The document records early administrative difficulties that left the programme without staff for about four months, and that about 90% of submitted projects needed technical adjustments.
On outcomes for water, the same document records monitoring at 33 surface-water points and 70 spring or river points and reports no measured trend in the excerpt reviewed. Its effect indicator was that by the end of the project all water sources would show chemical and biochemical recovery levels "próximos, iguales o superiores a las normas internacionales"; the document states that "no era factible alcanzar una meta de este tipo" because recovery required long-term intervention. Its survey of perceptions found 40% reporting no change in quality of life, 27% some improvement and 18% a decline. The document names mining sector compliance with environmental law as a central gap, without which mitigation projects alone are unlikely to have lasting impact, and calls implementing the Plan Director one of the main future challenges because basin-level pollution exceeds the capacity of departmental and municipal governments alone.
Critics described the programme's use of money differently. BBC Mundo quoted Luis Aguilar, a former prefect of Oruro, saying the money was dispersed in "proyectos sin sentido", and Severo Choque, a former director of the departmental agricultural and livestock service, saying work on the lake itself was not prioritised adequately. The lake was reported dry in December 2015, the month the programme's extended period ended; the sources reviewed do not state what share of the programme's projects concerned the lake itself, and no independent evaluation of the programme's effect on the lake or on basin water quality is on record.

Benefit to nature: what was measured
Not measured
No independent measurement of the programme's effect on Lake Poopó or on basin water quality is on record. The programme's own systematisation reports a diagnosis from monitoring at 103 points and no measured trend in the excerpt reviewed, and states that its water-recovery indicator was not feasible within the period; these are the programme's own statements, not an independent measurement. The lake was reported dry in December 2015.

Accounts
- Disputed Size of the programme
Record
- None on record None on record: an independent evaluation of the programme, by the EU or an auditor, in the sources reviewed.
- None on record None on record: the share of programme money spent on the lake itself. Former officials quoted by BBC Mundo said work on the lake was not prioritised; the programme document reports projects across seven municipalities.
- None on record None on record: the cost of the Plan Director or of the three pilot tailings dams; the document excerpt gives neither.
- None on record None on record: measured water-quality trends at the 103 monitoring points; the excerpt reviewed reports none.
- Disputed Disputed: the programme's size. OCMAL gives EUR 14 million (EU 10, Bolivia 3); the programme document gives EUR 14,210,000 (EU 10,935,000, counterpart 3,275,000); BBC Mundo gives about US$15 million.

Did the harm stop?
The sources reviewed do not report that the harm stopped: the lake was reported dry in December 2015 and again in October 2023, and the programme document says the water-recovery target was not feasible within its period.
Who paid?
The European Union (EUR 10,935,000 planned; EUR 9,031,578.88 executed by April 2015) and the Bolivian state (EUR 3,275,000 planned; EUR 2,575,322.06 executed), according to the programme systematisation.
