Department background

Austria’s Development Cooperation has undergone major administrative changes that became effective as from January 1st, 2004. The newly founded “Austrian Development Agency” (ADA) is charged with all operative aspects of Austria’s development programmes and projects both in South and East Co-operation, whereas policies, programming, multilateral programmes and coordination remain within the Department of Development Cooperation of the Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry’s Unit for Evaluation, Development Policy and Strategy works closely together with ADA’s Evaluation Unit, which is responsible for the preparation, financing and management of strategic evaluations of Austrian development aid. The Ministry, in consultation with ADA, is in charge of the overall evaluation programme and of networking and cooperation at the international level.

The Evaluation Guidelines and the Evaluation Manual of the Austrian Development Cooperation are currently being up-dated in order to adequately reflect recent organisational developments.
