Working in Latin America for several decades to address the educational needs of poor and indigenous groups, the GTZ (Gesellschaft f r Technische Zusammenarbeit) has helped to develop the knowledge base of intercultural bilingual education. The goal of this article is to analyze Germany's impact from the mid-1970s to the present as the GTZ has collaborated with different countries, and in a succession of projects, to provide technical assistance leading to the creation of the Latin American Universidad Ind gena Intercultural. Building on this aid, new projects are currently under way, cofinanced by the pooled support of countries in the European Union. Bilateral cooperation between European donor countries and receiving countries is creating new forms of multilateral collaboration both between and within nations in support of education. The close collaboration of German bilateral cooperation with governments and academics in Latin America is one example of a longterm vision of aid that is empowering indigenous groups in the Americas and helping to reassess the contributions of indigenous languages and cultures to the diverse national identities of Latin American countries
