A substantial part of our world contains of members from countries and communities that face grand developmental and existential challenges. These challenges are greater than their potential to address them. The worst thing people can do is beat aside. The foreign policy of the Slovak Republic determined, an integral part of which is the responsibility of implementation of development cooperation under this SlovakAid, with an emphasis on a holistic approach and solidarity.
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 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).
