What we do
We work for freedom, shared prosperity, and security.
Cooperation
Our work is based on a vision of development cooperation in which citizens have agency. The programmes we implement respond to local needs and draw on local potential. Through dialogue and cooperation with partners at various levels, we support the design and implementation of public policies. We seek to involve Polish entities in our activities to strengthen the presence of Polish institutions and expertise in efforts to support the development of other countries.
Our presence
We have been supporting Ukraine for over a decade – accompanying it through key social, economic, and institutional transformations.
In Moldova, we support development, strengthen the state, and help bring it closer to the European Union.
In Georgia, we focus on lasting change – energy transition, support for education and local governments, and access to information.
For years, we have supported Belarusians in their struggle for freedom and human rights. We assist independent media outlets, as well as civic and educational organisations.
Free elections are the cornerstone of democracy, and their observation supports transparency and trust in electoral processes. We recruit and train observers to take part in international missions.
Areas of Activity
We implement our activities in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), responding to the specific needs of local communities in countries covered by Polish development cooperation.
We support reforms that strengthen the resilience of public institutions, empower local governments, and foster the development of civil society.
We work close to the people – where change has the potential to be lasting and meaningful.
Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
We support resilient communities, strong institutions, and local democracy.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
We support local entrepreneurship and vocational education tailored to the labour market.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
We support the sustainable development of local areas and modern planning with local governments.

An innovative decentralised psychosocial support programme that builds mental resilience among war-affected individuals and helps them return to social and professional life.
