The Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) supports countries in Africa, Asia and Central America as well as in South-Eastern Europe in their sustainable social, economic and democratic development. The Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (MFA) plans the strategies and programmes and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) implements these together with public institutions, non-governmental organisations and enterprises.

The Higher Education and Scientific Cooperation strategy was developed with a view to accomplishing two main goals:

• Respond to the international policy guidelines put forward in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Paris Declaration.

• Implement key conclusions and recommendations from the ADC’s 2007 evaluation of the education sector. 

The strategy is intended to serve as a direct implementation instrument and encompasses the key measures for the next five years.
