Portugal. Development Co-operation Review (1997)
Portugal's development co-operation efforts are characterised by its bilateral concentration, reflecting its ties of history, language and culture with its former colonies, the five Portuguese-speaking African Countries (the PALOPs) -- Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe. Portugal was a Member of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) at its origin in 1961, when it had extensive programmes of assistance for its then colonies, but left the Committee in 1974.
