The key strategic document - Development Cooperation Strategy - determines the direction to be taken by development cooperation over the medium term and which takes account of the Sustainable Development Strategic Framework of the Czech Republic, where one of the Czech Republic’s objectives, as a member of the EU, UN and OECD, is to meet international commitments. The new Strategy seeks to fully exploit the opportunities created by the unification of the development system following the transformation and the adoption of the Act of Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid. It strives to deepen understanding of development cooperation as an instrument of foreign policy with security, economic, environmental, social and migration aspects, as well as the effective application of the specific experience and skills of the Czech Republic (e.g. in connection with the transformation of society and the promotion of human rights and democracy), and broader use of ties between the development cooperation of the Czech Republic and the EU.
