- Executive summary
- The DAC's recommendations to Poland

- Poland's development co-operation at a glance (infographic)
- Findings and recommendations
- Context
- Poland's political and economic context presents challenges and opportunities for its evolving development co-operation system
- Recent crises are severely impacting Poland's priority partner countries
- Fit-for-purpose institutional arrangements
- Poland's legal and strategic framework provide a foundation for a whole-of-government development co-operation effort
- The MFA's Department of Development Cooperation is responsible for steering Polish Aid, but its mandate and capacity to do so need reaffirming and strengthening
- Poland has an opportunity to reinvigorate and realign its evolving system to better deliver on its policy objectives
- As the Solidarity Fund evolves, clear roles and responsibilities will enable Poland to make the most of its unique strengths
- Human resources are a significant bottleneck and need investing in as a priority
- A more co-ordinated approach would also increase consistency between policy goals and promote policy coherence for development
- Poland's bilateral programme: Priorities and programming
- ODA volume has not reflected Poland's strong economic trajectory and continues to comprise a large share of in-donor costs at the expense of country programmable aid
- Increasing the geographic and thematic focus of Poland's small bilateral ODA budget would enhance quality and impact
- Ongoing reliance on annual projects limits Poland's ability to plan strategically in line with partner country priorities.
- Defining a set of strategic objectives in line with partner country priorities and linking programming decisions to these would result in more sustainable investments
- A strengthened approach to implementing cross-cutting issues and managing for risk is needed to improve the quality of bilateral ODA
- The response to Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine could serve as a turning point for Poland's crisis response mechanisms
- Multilateral and civil society partnerships
- While core and assessed contributions account for the majority of Polish multilateral ODA, Poland could be more strategic and less fragmented in its earmarked allocations
- The European Union remains Poland's primary multilateral channel, but more can be done to prioritise development in its political engagement
- Greater engagement with EU Member States at country level would better enable Poland to leverage its presence and added value
- Fully harnessing partnerships with civil society organisations requires a longer term approach to funding and partnering
- There is potential to better mobilise civil society to raise awareness of development co-operation across Polish society and at a political level
