The Foreign Ministry (FMEIA) plans ADC strategies and programmes. The Austrian Development Agency (ADA), the operational unit of ADC, implements these together with public institutions, non-governmental organisations and enterprises.

Bilateral ADC

Austrian bilateral ODA

Bilateral ADC is the core programme of Austrian Development Cooperation and is implemented by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). The budget for this is stipulated in the Austrian Federal Finance Act under Appropriation 1/20096/7214 for operational measures and supplemented by finance from the European Recovery Programme (ERP). Expenditure from this budget contributes as a subcomponent to total Austrian bilateral ODA. Though it does not make up the largest part of bilateral ODA in terms of financial volume, it is the most important instrument for directing development policy. Details on this are published in the ADC annual report.

Total bilateral ODA

Besides bilateral ADC administered by the operational unit ADA, many other sources of finance (ministries, federal states, municipalities and other public bodies) make a substantial contribution to total bilateral ODA. The ADC annual report also provides general overviews and detailed breakdowns on this funding.
