Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation

Since its official establishment in 2003, SlovakAid has succeeded in establishing itself on the international scene in the 17 years of its existence and transforming itself from the position of recipient of aid to a responsible donor.

The SlovakAid brand embodies efficiency, addressability, credibility and, despite a relatively low budget, is a strong and serious partner. The progress achieved was also stated in the first evaluation of the development cooperation of the Slovak Republic by the OECD Committee for Development Aid in 2018.

The importance of development cooperation as an instrument of Slovakia's foreign policy is gradually growing, which, however, is not reflected in the budget earmarked for this area. The Slovak Republic, as a donor, has to constantly increase the volume of public resources to achieve development cooperation and fulfil its international obligations. The most important of these is to accomplish a share of 0.33% of ODA provided in gross national income by 2030. The Slovak Republic is currently achieving a share of 0.14% of ODA / GNI with an annual volume of ODA of 123.5 mils. EUR (data for 2020), which represents a 16.3% year-on-year increase compared to 2019).
