Ladies and Gentlemen,
2012 saw two important changes: the Development Cooperation Act
came into force and the 2012–2015 multiannual programme that this
Act provided for was put into effect. The Act enhanced the coordinating
role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Development Cooperation Policy
Council – an advisory and consultative body to the minister of foreign affairs – was also established. As in previous years, we have allocated over a
half of our aid to the six Eastern Partnership countries. We did so to bring
them closer to the European Union’s democratic values and economy.
Polish aid also reached recipients in other regions of the world: visually
impaired children in Rwanda, farmers in Hebron, civil servants in Afghanistan or independent journalists in Myanmar. Last year, our humanitarian
aid focused on Syrian refugees who fled to Jordan and Lebanon to escape
their country’s military conflict.
To ensure maximum effectiveness of our actions, in 2012 we reactivated
the Polish Foundation for International Development Cooperation „KnowHow.” Established on Poland’s initiative, the European Endowment for Democracy is yet another proof that support for democracy is a Polish priority
and a Polish brand.
Supporting transformation has become an important priority and a hallmark of Polish aid. After 1989, Poland has made great progress and today
we stand as a fine example of a peaceful systemic transition. Judging by
the events unfolding in our immediate and more distant neighbourhood,
Poland’s experience proves very valuable and interesting to countries that
are about to embark on political transformation. In a special supplement to
the report you will find a review of Polish projects in this field.
It is my pleasure to present to you the 2012 report on Poland’s development
cooperation.

In 2012, we modernised the Polish system of providing assistance to
developing countries. Our efforts have made Poland a more predictable
and reliable partner, and our aid is now more coherent, effective and
transparent.

POLISH OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT
ASSISTANCE IN NUMBERS
2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
P O L A N D ’ S D E V E L O P M E N T C O O P E R AT I O N
In
2012, Polish official development assistance ( ODA ) totalled
PLN 1,423 million1, i.e. over twice the amount expended in 2005
when Poland was a fresh EU member state. To meet its international commitment to increasing aid, in 2012 Poland allocated PLN 190 million more
to development cooperation than in 2011. This represents a 15 per cent increase of our country’s ODA. Even so, at 0.09 of the gross national income
(GNI) last year’s ODA provided by Poland is still below our expectations.

mission information; data as of August 2013.
Official Development Assistance (ODA) comprises
grants and loans that government institutions or
international organisations provide to promote
economic development and welfare in developing countries. To be classified as ODA, loans must
convey a grant element of at least 25 per cent of
their total value.

Seventy-five per cent of Polish ODA was channelled through multilateral
institutions (PLN 1.06 billion). Out of this number, PLN 1 billion was the Polish contribution to the EU budget and the European Development Fund.
The remainder were payments to UN agencies and other international
organisations, including humanitarian aid contributions.
Most of Poland’s development cooperation assistance was distributed by
the European Union. Poland – through the European Commission budget –
helped put in place aid projects worth PLN 861 million in 2012. Moreover,
we paid PLN 146 million in tranches to the European Development Fund.
Poland channels 71 per cent of its ODA this way.
In 2012, the value of bilateral development assistance was
PLN 362,779,932.86, i.e. 25 per cent of Poland’s ODA. Once we deduct the
value of loan agreements and debt relief agreements, last year’s bilateral
assistance amounted to PLN 212,038,512.83. This amount was expended
principally through public sector institutions, i.e. ministries, the Sejm, the
Senat and Polish diplomatic missions. Sixty-three per cent of Poland’s assistance was provided this way. Nearly a fifth of resources (PLN 37 million –
17 per cent) was spent through Polish NGO s. Over PLN 16 million was
earmarked for projects implemented by universities, academic institutions
or the Polish Academy of Sciences.

2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
Another interesting aspect is Poland’s bilateral assistance when assigned to
specific assistance sectors, in line with the OECD Development Assistance
Committee’s (OECD DAC) purpose codes. For comparative purposes the
table below does not include credit and debt relief policies, whose 2012
net amount was PLN 150,741,420.03, i.e. 42 per cent of bilateral development cooperation. The table captures the value of bilateral development
cooperation that can be attributed to specific assistance sectors in line
with the OECD DAC’s methodology.
Apart from scholarship policy, a key sector of Poland’s bilateral development cooperation in 2012 was good governance, which according to
OECD DAC codes also comprises democracy building and support for
civil society (23 per cent of bilateral cooperation). Support for systemic
transformation was provided through projects that were carried out in
different sectors, including regional development support which plays a
key role in Polish aid (7 per cent of bilateral cooperation). Other sectors
account for approximately 12 per cent of the total assistance (including
health, water and sanitation, social policies, transport, energy, business and
other services, agriculture and environmental protection). Poland spends
the same amount on helping refugees and people applying for refugee
status in Poland.

2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
In
2012, the Polish system of development cooperation was modernised to meet recommendations of the 2010 OECD DAC peer review
and to reflect the newly adopted Development Cooperation Act (effective
as of 1 January 2012). The review recommended that Poland strengthen its
legal basis for development cooperation, implement an up-to-date and
comprehensive development strategy and enhance its evaluation system.
Development cooperation, development assistance,
humanitarian aid and global education are terms
that have been first introduced to the Polish law
under the Development Cooperation Act.
The Act defines development cooperation as the totality of actions undertaken by government agencies with a view to providing developing
countries with:
1. development aid, consisting in particular in:
a) promoting and supporting the development of democracy and
civil society, including development of parliamentarism, principles of
good governance and respect for human rights;
b) supporting their long-term social and economic development,
undertaking actions contributing to a reduction in poverty and an
improvement in the level of health of the population, raising the level
of education and professional qualification of the population;
2. humanitarian aid, consisting in particular in providing aid, care and
protection of populations affected by armed conflict, natural disaster
or other humanitarian crises caused by nature or man.
Development cooperation is also understood as educational activities
undertaken in order to increase awareness and understanding of global
problems and interdependences between countries.
2.1. M ultiannual D evelopment Cooperation P rogramme 2012–2015
One of the principal achievements of the Act was to make Polish assistance more predictable. Starting in 2012, development cooperation has
been based on the Multiannual Development Cooperation Programme
2012–2015, which was adopted by the Council of Ministers. Under the
Programme, Poland’s development cooperation is implemented in geographic and thematic areas of support.
Geographic areas are divided into two groups. The first comprises six Eastern Partnership countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova
and Ukraine. By engaging with these countries, Poland wants to support
sustainable democratic systems, bolster respect for human rights and effective systemic transformation. The second group is composed of selected
African, Asian and Middle Eastern countries with high poverty rates. These
beneficiaries usually also face considerable transformation challenges and
include eight Eastern African countries (Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda,
Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda), two countries from North Africa (Libya, Tunisia), Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the Palestinian
National Authority. Three specific priorities were set for each of the above
countries and regions. [for more information, see: Multiannual Development Cooperation Programme 2012–2015 at www.polishaid.gov.pl]
14
Poland’s development cooperation focuses on two thematic areas of support, namely democracy and human rights, and political and economic
transformation. Poland’s successful transition from totalitarian regime
to democracy and from a centrally planned economy to a free-market
economy is especially interesting for countries about to embrace change.

2.2. M FA’ S CO O R D I N AT I O N R O L E
The Development Cooperation Act tasks the minister of foreign affairs with
coordinating development cooperation, so as to ensure that development
measures taken by government agencies are coherent, as set forth in the
Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) concept that was put forward
by the EU and the OECD. The Act also provides for setting up the Development Cooperation Policy Council, which is a consultative and advisory
body functioning alongside the minister of foreign affairs. The Council has
twenty-one members: the national coordinator for international development cooperation (an MFA undersecretary of state), representatives of ten
ministries, three Sejm deputies, one senator, four NGO representatives, a
representative of the employers’ organisation and a representative of the
academia. In particular, the Council is responsible for suggesting geographic and thematic priorities of development cooperation, reviewing
the draft multiannual development cooperation programme and annual
development cooperation plans, reviewing annual reports on development cooperation measures implemented by government agencies and
reviewing draft government papers.
In 2012, an inter-ministerial PCD contact network was created to further
enhance the MFA’s coordination role and ensure that Poland’s development cooperation is more effective and coherent.

As Poland becomes increasingly active in the field of development cooperation and demonstrates determination to effectively carry out democratisation projects, the MFA decided to reactivate the Polish Foundation
for International Development Cooperation “Know-How” 2. Article 10 (3) 3 of
the Development Cooperation Act clearly defines the procedure for assigning the Foundation tasks to be carried out in countries in a special political situation. The Foundation conducts its mission mainly by co-funding
projects that Polish NGOs implement on their own or in cooperation with
local partners.
In January 2012, Poland’s foreign minister participated
in a ceremony of transferring the right to use the Polish
EU Presidency’s symbol to the Fund. The MFA concluded that the logotype designed by J. Janiszewski, who
had also authored the symbol of the Solidarność trade
union, would fit in with the Fund’s mission and evoke
Poland’s political and economic transformation experience. For the first time in history, an EU presidency logo
will continue to be present in the public sphere after
the presidency itself has ended.
2
Established in 2001 on the initiative of the Polish President, the Polish Foundation for
International Development Cooperation „Know-How” supports economic, social and political development of countries undergoing transformation. The Foundation suspended its
operations in 2005, and was renamed Solidarity Fund PL in 2013.

For the first time ever, two-year projects can now also be implemented.
A total of six projects were funded (one authored by an NGO and five by
public administration bodies), consisting of two sequential modules each.
For module projects to be approved, applicants must make a point for
continuing their activities over a two-year period. The MFA introduced
modularity in response to NGO’s suggestion for projects to be financed
on a multiannual basis.

In 2012, government agencies withdrew from the call for proposals procedure in line with the constitutional principle of subsidiarity of ministries.
The adopted formula guarantees that projects will be continued in the
coming years under certain conditions. The following institutions were
consulted about the implementation of specific measures: the Chancellery
of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the
Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the
Ministry of Regional Development, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of the Environment,
the Ministry of Health.

2012 saw the first evaluation of Polish aid-funded projects. It focused on
two topics:

SENSE (Strategic Economic Needs and Security Exercise) training, a
2010–2011 programme for seven countries: Afghanistan, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Tunisia and Ukraine;
group of projects implemented in 2009–2011 that helped transform
state-run children care homes in Georgia into a system of family foster
care and create modern care homes modelled on family homes.
The evaluation’s chief goals were to find out what impact selected MFA
development cooperation measures had on specific fields of activity in
the beneficiary country (in this case: good governance and social sector
development), and to assess whether these types of development initiatives should be continued.
K E Y CO N C LU S I O N S O F 2012 P R O J E C T E VA LUAT I O N
1. The SENSE programme fulfilled its role as a tool for enhancing the quality of governance. However, given the nature of
SENSE software and their advanced stage of transformation,
the EaP countries will increasingly be covered by trainings of
the Eastern Partnership Academy of Public Administration (established in 2011).
2. The Georgian side accepted the model of dealing with children and families in care and educational facilities, which was
put forward by Polish entities. This decision demonstrated that
implemented projects produce lasting results, and that Poland
has a great potential in this regard.
3. Both the SENSE programme and projects carried out in
Georgia helped enhance Poland’s positive image and Polish
development assistance in beneficiary countries.

POLAND IN THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
3.1. Development Cooperation within EU framework
2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
A
major international event – also in terms of development policy –
was the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, which
took place in Rio de Janeiro on 20–22 June 2012. Held twenty years after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, the meeting – popularly known as the
Rio +20 Conference – brought together heads of government, private
sector representatives and NGO activists. The agenda included a safe future
for our planet and ensuring decent living conditions of its inhabitants.
The debate focused on two key issues: how to build a “green economy”
to attain sustainable growth and reduce poverty, and how to improve
the system of coordinating sustainable growth. The Future We Want, the
conference’s outcome document, is an important reference point for the
discussion on aid effectiveness that will help set future Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
THE FUTURE
O F M I L L E N N I U M D E V E LO PM E N T G OA L S
As part of the process of defining development cooperation framework
after 2015 (the so-called post-2015 process), the international community
will sum up the implementation of eight Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs). Key decisions will be taken in the UN forum based on reports by
the UN System Task Team on the Post-2015 UN Development Agenda. The
first report, which is entitled Realising the Future We Want for All, outlines
the vision of development cooperation after 2015 and points to four key
areas of future assistance activity, namely inclusive economic development,
inclusive social development, environmental sustainability, and peace and
security. The discussion will continue in 2013. Poland believes that cutting
poverty should remain the overarching goal of development cooperation.
In Poland’s view, fundamental development processes include making life
more democratic, creating the rule of law and ensuring full respect for human rights, while promoting sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
At the same time, work is underway to set Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) after 2015. The SDGs should be coherent and coordinated with the
post-2015 process. Poland is involved in this process mainly through the
EU, which in November 2012 submitted to the UN its common position on
the SDGs and the effective strategy of financing sustainable development.
D E V E LO PM E N T CO O P E R AT I O N E F F E C T I V E N E S S –
POST-BUSAN PROCESS
In 2012, the international community continued its efforts to enhance the
effectiveness of development cooperation. In line with the conclusions
of the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (Busan, 29 November–1 December 2011), the Global Partnership for Effective Development
Cooperation serves as the principal international forum for holding dialogue on this issue.
By mid-2012, three meetings of the Post-Busan Interim Group (PBIG )
drafted a Global Partnership mandate, suggested ways to monitor aid effectiveness commitments and came up with an aid transparency standard.
Poland, which is not a PBIG member, took part in its work through the EU’s
and Germany’s representatives, and submitted its positions directly to the
OECD DAC Secretariat. Our country advocated reducing aid fragmentation, e.g. through better allocation of tasks and joint programming within
the EU framework.
3.1. D E V E LO PM E N T CO O P E R AT I O N W I T H I N E U F R A M E W O R K
In the first half of 2012, Denmark held the EU Council Presidency, handing
it over to Cyprus in the second half of that year. Conducted predominantly
in the Working Party on Development Cooperation (CODEV), the EU
debate focused on two central issues concerning the future of EU development policy:
1. Agenda for Change set out in the European Commission Communication of October 2011. The Agenda presents the issue of lasting and
sustainable growth in the context of human development, while also
discussing at considerable length such questions as inclusive growth,
good governance (including the role of democracy, human rights and
the rule of law), and social insurance. Reflecting Poland’s postulates
that were often put forward in the EU, the document draws attention
18
to the link between sustainable development on the one hand and
democracy and human rights on the other. It also takes into account
the need for a multi-faceted EU approach to providing aid, and imposes
on recipient countries the obligation to meet specific criteria (including
respect for human rights). The Agenda also suggests that exceptional
cases (e.g. fragile states) be treated separately and calls for identifying
new avenues of cooperation with emerging donors.
2. New framework for granting budget support set out in the European
Commission Communication of October 2011. For several years now,
budget support has been one of the most frequent forms of development cooperation (accounting for approximately 50 per cent of aid
funded out of the general EU budget). Under this scheme, financial

resources are transferred directly to the partner country’s national treasury. Donors of general budget support do not specify how it should
be spent. Sector budget support, in turn, aims to fund measures in a
specific sector, while State Building Contracts are a new form of budget
support that targets fragile states. Poland does not provide budget
support as part of bilateral aid programmes. In the EU debate, we
supported the so-called conditionality principle, which says that EU
support should be made more contingent on the partner country’s
domestic situation and political dialogue.
In 2012, the EU placed special emphasis on famine in the Horn of Africa, especially in Somalia. The EU position manifests itself in the SHARE4 initiative,
which aims to better relate humanitarian aid to development assistance,
and thus successfully cope with the aftermath of recurring drought and
famine. The document lists practically all vulnerable groups, including
internally displaced persons (IDPs).
The EU also set about changing its relations with Myanmar when the country embarked on a series of reforms.
The work of the ACP (African, Caribbean and Pacific states) Working Party
centered on the Joint Caribbean-EU Partnership Strategy (the draft document
and Council conclusions); the reactivated EU-Pacific Development Partnership
(European Commission Communication and Council Conclusions about the
document); the audit report on EU assistance to improve access to drinking
water and build sanitation facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa; drafting Council
conclusions on increased allocation to the African Peace Facility (APF) in
2011–2013; negotiating the updated Three-year APF Action Programme;
4
monitoring negotiations over economic partnership agreements (EPAs)
between the EU and ACP regional groups.
While drafting Council conclusions on improved access to drinking water and
building sanitation facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa, Poland successfully lobbied
for ensuring that the projects be run in the medium and long term. To guarantee that the APF has plentiful funding from sources other than the EU, Poland
opposed provisions that could be interpreted to the effect that the EU would
rush to grant all applications for funding peacekeeping operations in Africa
from the APF instrument, without examining the potential amount of support.
The working parties also focused on financial instruments of development
assistance in the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014–2020. Negotiations
concerning the new Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) regulation
and the future shape of the European Development Fund (EDF) were also
underway in 2012. In the EDF discussion, Poland backed the idea to leave the
Fund outside the EU budget, while also calling for Poland’s contribution key
to be kept at the level of the previous financial framework.
In the discussion about the future of the European Neighbourhood Instrument, Poland advocated increasing the assistance for more ambitious countries who would be ready to deepen cooperation with the EU, in line with the
more-for-more principle. This would reward efforts by the EU’s immediate
neighbours who are ready to sign and implement association agreements
and deep and comprehensive free trade area agreements. Poland was in
favour of relating assistance to partner countries’ absorption capabilities, i.e.
to take into account the ratio of used funds when deciding on 2014–2020
financial envelopes.

In October 2012, the European Commission and the EEAS published a
joint Communication “EU support for sustainable change in transition
societies.” 5 The document set out to “examine what the EU has to offer
to help countries in transition achieve successful and sustainable transformations, building on its own experiences.” The document also identified “a number of concrete measures to improve the way in which the
EU supports these countries so that they could achieve lasting reforms
and avoid backsliding.” The Communication provided a basis for Council
Conclusions. For Poland it was key that the document should include
provisions on programming and joint programming, providing transition
know-how and sharing knowledge, and impose the requirement to report
on transformation progress.

The main theme of the EDD was „Supporting inclusive and sustainable growth for human development.” The debates, discussion panels, workshops and presentations focused on sustainable
agriculture, food security, resilience, social security and the role
of the private sector in the context of development cooperation.
A common priority for Poland and the EU-12 Member States was to expand the development agenda to include support for political change and
socio-economic reforms by sharing transition knowledge and experience
gained by countries which became EU Member States in 2004 and 2007.

In 2012, seventeen government administration bodies implemented Poland’s development assistance: the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of the Environment,
the Ministry of Regional Development, the Ministry of the Interior, the
Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the Ministry of Transport, Construction
and Maritime Economy, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Administration and Digitization, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the
Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Ministry of National Defence, as well as the Chancellery of the
Prime Minister and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
Given the thematic nature of bilateral development cooperation, Polish
institutions provide partner countries with technical assistance that focuses – besides supporting democracy and human rights – on sharing
economic and social transformation experiences. Partner countries of
Poland’s development cooperation are interested in Polish experiences
relating to:

adapting state institutions to EU standards;

expertise on the way a country undergoing reforms functions;

reforming the home affairs and administration sectors (as evidenced by
active cooperation between the police and the border guard), fighting
organised crime, emergency cooperation, and illegal immigration;

The bulk of 2012 bilateral development cooperation implemented by
government administration bodies targeted the Eastern Partnership countries, first and foremost Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. Other beneficiaries
included Afghanistan, Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia,
China, Brazil, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Turkey
and Kosovo.

A computer-supported simulation of the market economy, the SENSE
programme is addressed to the public administration and the private sector in countries implementing reform, fragile states, and countries about
to embrace systemic, economic and social change. The participants are
made aware of the connection between security, economic growth and
democracy building. In 2012, the MFA conducted three SENSE training
editions, inviting countries based on the Polish foreign and development
policy priorities. One edition specifically targeted representatives of the
Eastern Partnership countries. For the first time ever, Kyrgyz officials were
also invited to take part in the training alongside the EaP countries. Furthermore, there were editions dedicated to North Africa (Libya and Egypt) and
Myanmar. A total of 140 people attended the SENSE training programme
in 2012.
The five-day training schedule featured a negotiation training, leadership
workshops and a three-day computer-supported simulation. As part of the
latter exercise, the trainees were asked to govern a hypothetical country.
Interactions between players had an important role, with each person
being assigned a different part and goal in the game. SENSE also included
presentations of experience gained by Polish economic institutions, while
Libyan and Egyptian participants met with officials from the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency and the Polish Agency for Enterprise
Development. Moreover, meetings were held with people who made
outstanding contributions to building Poland’s democracy.

The launch of the Eastern Partnership Academy of Public Administration
coincided with Poland’s EU presidency and was specifically mentioned in
the Joint Declaration of the second Eastern Partnership Summit (Warsaw,
29–30 September 2011). The Academy’s mission is to strengthen public
administration in the EaP countries by organising specialist trainings in
cooperation with the National School of Public Administration (KSAP ).
Trainings and workshops offer a platform for sharing Polish transition experiences in the socio-economic and political spheres, which is considered
one of the key development cooperation areas.
In 2012, the Academy hosted three trainings for 69 EaP civil servants. During three series of a two-week course, experienced specialists and practitioners conducted the following lectures and workshops:

Value-based Management – attended by 23 people, including five

The MFA continued to support the Afghan government’s institutional
capabilities by sharing Polish political transformation experiences. To
meet the needs of the Afghan side, a number of study visits and trainings
were held to address challenges Afghan civil servants encounter in their
work. Two study visits involved Ministry of Justice officials from the Ghazni
province. In the course of one week, two groups of low-level employees
learned about the functioning of the Polish judiciary.
Moreover, in 2012 KSAP continued cooperation it had begun in the preceding year with the Afghanistan Civil Service Institute (ACSI). Together
with its Afghan counterpart, KSAP organised two trainings: a group of 19
central administration officials attended a 10-day strategic communication course, while the other group, consisting of 18 civil servants from
focused on improving managers’ qualifications by encouraging them to
take into consideration cultural factors when overseeing groups of employees. The trainees learnt how to prevent corruption in their teams. Apart
from lectures and workshops, the participants also visited the Central
Anti-Corruption Bureau.
VISITS FROM NOR TH AFRICAN COUNTRIES
The MFA followed up on its 2011 support for North African countries, addressing most of its activities to Tunisia. The MFA Department of Development Cooperation carried out and coordinated four study visits, whose
aim was to share transformation experiences with Tunisian administration
representatives, especially as regards reforming the judiciary and regional
developments (for more details, see the following chapters).

The small grants system consists of projects that Polish foreign service
posts implement in cooperation with partners from developing countries.
Despite limited financial resources, the projects are much-needed, especially in countries that are outside of the Polish aid priority areas. Also, they
are effective and cost efficient, as assistance is channelled to the groups
most in need of support. According to the 2012 Development Cooperation Plan, small grants were meant to help attain Millennium Development Goals, i.e. eradicate poverty, ensure access to education or improve
children’s and women’s healthcare. From a practical point of view, small
grants include both investments (equipment purchases, renovation and
construction) and projects to unlock human potential by providing access
to school and vocational education.
In 2012, Polish diplomatic missions carried out 124 projects amounting to
approximately PLN 7.3 million.

The project was carried out in Mapenda, a village in a hard-to-access
mountainous area of Papua New Guinea. It was aimed at ensuring
access to education to local children and youth. With no educational establishment around, children had had to walk 8 kilometres
one way every day. Difficult weather conditions and social tensions
had often made it impossible for them to reach the school. The
project, coordinated by the Polish Embassy in Canberra in cooperation with a local Catholic parish in Kuare, was initiated and carried
out by the local community. The wood to build and furnish the
school came from private forests of the village’s inhabitants, who
also participated in the construction work. Thanks to their commitment, two two-classroom school buildings for 144 pupils were built
under the project.

Scholarship policy is an important element of development cooperation.
If skilfully pursued, it can directly impact the partner country’s development in many sectors. Having returned to their home countries, scholarship holders often become “Polish ambassadors,” which helps forge closer
bilateral relations in the long run.
Statistics show that our eastern neighbours are most interested in studying
in Poland. In the 2012/2013 academic year, 13,589 EaP nationals studied in
Poland, most of them were Ukrainians. With the help of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the MFA funded four scholarship programmes
addressed to citizens of developing countries. Three hundred and eightyeight scholarships were financed out of the special purpose budget reserve, with Belarusians representing the largest group of recipients.
In the 2012–2013 academic year, 13,589 people
from the Eastern Partnership countries were studying in Poland. Scholarships awarded to foreign students under all Polish government programmes
exceeded PLN 60 million in 2012.
The Polish Government’s Konstanty Kalinowski Scholarship Programme targets Belarusians who cannot undertake or continue their
studies for political reasons (241 graduate students and 42 post-graduate
students and long-term interns).

The EaP countries constitute one of the key geographic areas of Poland’s
development cooperation. Poland backs their efforts to create lasting and
stable democratic systems, observe human rights and speed up systemic
transformation. The projects are assigned to NGOs, local governments, universities and academic institutes that take part in open calls for proposals.
In recent years, Polish government agencies have become increasingly
engaged in a number of projects, especially addressed to Ukraine, Georgia
and Moldova. Experts from the ministries and central offices took part in
projects supporting Georgia’s regional reform, Moldova’s border guard and
increasing the security of Ukraine’s population.

Belarus is one of the major beneficiaries of Poland’s development cooperation. In 2012, assistance for Belarus focused on two priority areas: supporting independent media, organisations and civil society, and supporting
disadvantaged groups.
The bulk of assistance funds went towards broadening access to reliable
and unbiased information, including the production and broadcasting
of programmes for Belarusian society under co-production agreements
with Belsat TV, Belarusian Radio Racja and Euroradio. In addition, the assistance benefited Belarusian students, including recipients of K. Kalinowski
scholarships and students enrolled at the European Humanities University
in Vilnius. At the same time, the MFA continued to provide help through
diplomatic posts and in the framework of the Polish-Danish programme
for Belarusian journalists.
into professional and social activity, and provide economic and educational
support to Belarusian NGOs (e.g. aid campaigns in the framework of the
European Dialogue on Modernization with Belarusian Society).
Projects by Polish NGOs which were funded under the “Poland’s Development Cooperation 2012” call for proposals focused on supporting disadvantaged groups, especially by helping disabled persons and entities become
professionally and socially active, and by improving care for people with
HIV/AIDS.
In 2012, the Polish diplomatic missions in Minsk and Vilnius carried out
seven projects which received approximately PLN 550,000 in co-funding.

PROJEC T IMPLEMENTER:
Co-production agreement between the Polish MFA and Białoruskie Centrum
Informacyjne Sp. z o.o. (Belarusian Information Centre)
Belarusian Radio Racyja was founded in 1998 on the initiative of independent
journalist communities in Belarus and members of the Belarusian minority in
Poland. Thanks to the MFA ’s support, after a break in broadcasting, the radio
resumed its operations in 2006. Racyja’s main goal is to increase access to free,
independent information. It broadcasts programmes 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. The FM broadcasting range covers an area inhabited by 1.5 million people, including the biggest cities in Western Belarus and the entire area along the
Polish-Belarusian border.
In 2012, Racyja began to broadcast and publish information via smartphone and
tablet apps. The number of daily users of the radio’s website (www.racyja.com) also
increased. Thanks to the website and mobile applications, the broadcasting range
has increased and now covers the entire territory of Belarus.
Under a co-production agreement, the MFA has allocated PLN 3.75 million to the
production and broadcasting of Belarusian Radio Racyja’s programmes.

Support for “administrative and fiscal decentralisation” is one of five pillars
of the country’s modernisation programme, which was drafted by Moldova’s government. In 2012, Poland backed this programme by carrying out
two public finance management projects. Their purpose was to set up an
effective and transparent system of funding Moldova’s local governments.

An important cooperation area with Moldova is agriculture whose structural problems are similar to the problems Poland’s agriculture faced in the
past. Aid focused on mobilising the poorest groups of people for professional and social activity by supporting SMEs, cooperatives and agricultural
advisory services. The projects were implemented, among others, by the
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in cooperation with the
National Veterinary Research Institute. One of the projects, which was
put in place in cooperation with the Konstanty Ostrogski Foundation, the
East Foundation and the NAREW Podlasie Region Environmental Station,
promoted 16 innovative farming methods and services in 13 villages across

PROJEC T TITLE:
“Innovative eco-technologies and techniques for development
of sustainable farming in Moldova”
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Social Ecological Institute, Polish Chamber of Regional and Local
Products, Foundation for Agrobiodiversity AgriNatura
The project aimed to improve sanitary and health conditions, as well as soil
and air quality by applying “green solutions” and sustainable farming methods
in agricultural holdings in the regions of Drochia and Făleşti. Moldovan agriculture is facing the problems of soil degradation and environmental pollution.
The project raised farmers’ awareness of eco-technologies and persuaded
them on practical examples to use green methods in their work. Eleven agricultural holdings were equipped with green solutions, such as photovoltaic
cells and fans, solar cells, manure pads, composters, composting toilets and
biofilters. Moreover, fifty farmers were trained about renewable energy, pads
fixing, the construction and usage of composting toilets and biofilters, and
composting techniques.
Thanks to the installation of composting toilets, sanitary conditions in the
participating agricultural holdings improved overnight. The local farmers
appreciate renewable energy installations, which they will mainly use as a
back-up energy source during power supply interruptions.

security and border management. Selected Ukrainian fire brigades received new equipment, while close to eight hundred firefighters were
trained to provide emergency medical aid, use and maintain personal
protective equipment, carry out total decontamination, limit risks and
counteract natural disasters and catastrophes.
Another field of Polish aid was supporting regional development and
building public and local administration potential. Given large disparities
between regions and the centralisation of the executive branch, projects
to intensify dialogue between administration bodies and NGOs assumed
special importance. Ukrainian partners also appreciated measures to
enhance the quality of municipal services, real estate management and
energy efficiency.
The third priority was supporting SMEs and job creation. Major projects
included assistance to people starting or already involved in business activity, developing microenterprises, introducing energy efficient technologies
in SMEs, and business education.

PROJEC T TITLE:
“Young people with initiative – innovative methods of entrepreneurship education in
the Ukrainian educational system”
Project no. 91/2012
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Małopolska Institute of Local Government and Administration
The Małopolska Institute of Local Government and Administration in Cracow carried out a
project aimed at promoting entrepreneurship among young inhabitants of Western Ukraine.
The project implementation started by setting out a methodology of entrepreneurship
education among young people. The initiative involved Ukrainian experts (theoreticians
and practitioners), so that the material, while based on Polish experiences, could reflect the
Ukrainian reality as much as possible. The training brought together thirty people who gave
classes to more than 150 pupils of school levels 1–3. The pupils learned how to be creative,
what it means to be an entrepreneur, how to set up a company or how to prepare a good
business plan. The next stage of the project was to put the Ukrainian participants in touch
with Polish educational establishments and other units that teach entrepreneurship to young
people. To this end, two study trips to Poland were organised for 39 people. The Ukrainian
coaches took part, among others, in entrepreneurship classes organised in Polish schools of
different levels.
GRANT AMOUNT:
PLN 399,130

The project implementers also focused on other schools in Western Ukraine, which did not
directly participate in the project. For these schools, they prepared and published a manual
containing practical tips and ready lesson plans to be used during entrepreneurship courses.
Moreover, they organised a conference on the methodology of teaching entrepreneurship
to young people.
Myroslava Tovkalo on the project
“Young people with initiative –
innovative methods of entrepreneurship
education in the Ukrainian educational
system”:
Since 2005, higher-grade pupils from a school in the
Ukrainian village of Pidhirtsi have been able to participate
in entrepreneurship classes. Thanks to the headmaster’s
commitment, these classes are no longer boring nor ill-suited
to the pupils’ age and interests. Tables in the classroom are
now arranged in such a way that children can work in small
groups. The pupils debate important topics, such as current
problems of the village, and discuss their future professional
career in relation to self-employment.
The village is located in a region attractive to tourists.
Entrepreneurship classes prepare young people to selfemployment and teach them not to fear bureaucratic procedures.
The classes, which are run in line with the methodology we’ve
received, have become the favourite school subject of all
sixth graders.(based on a text by M. Tovkalo)

The focus of 2012 assistance for Armenia was supporting rural areas. Grants
were awarded to two projects. The position of small agricultural producers’
associations was bolstered, which also helped develop new brands of produce. Joint processing and marketing of products boosted the potential of
small fruit farmers from the town of Lukashin. Cold stores and drying rooms
for fruit were built and equipped. Moreover, farmers underwent trainings
about milk market, breeding dairy cattle, dairy technologies and marketing.
The MFA also backed a Ministry of the Environment project to prepare
environmental protection experts, especially in the field of chemical
management. The lack of an appropriate system for collecting, transporting, sorting, storing and recycling waste poses a serious problem in many
Armenian regions.
The Polish Embassy in Yerevan coordinated six small grants projects which
were worth over PLN 265,000.

“Establishment of local milk collecting points as a chance for alleviation
of poverty and dairy development in North Armenia”
Project no. 72/2012
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Heifer Project International branch
North Armenia is a typical agricultural region. Over 70 per cent of its population lives in rural areas, while around
90 per cent of farmers breed animals and produce milk. One of the problems impeding the development of
dairy industry is the lack of local milk collecting points in which farmers could store large quantities of milk
and refrigerate them on time to ensure the proper quality of dairy. As a consequence, small producers had
to transport milk to dairies located dozens of kilometres away from their farms, incurring additional expenses.
Under the project, three local milk collecting points were equipped with coolers. In one of the villages, a milk
collecting point was built from the ground up, while in two other villages additional coolers were installed to
increase the number of milk providers. Thanks to the purchased milk analysers, it is now possible to check the
quality of milk directly in the collecting points. Only incompatible milk does not make it to the coolers, which
protects suppliers from having entire milk batches rejected after an inspection in a diary. Moreover, trainings for
milk producers and a study visit to Poland were organised under the project.

In 2012, the MFA continued measures to boost Azerbaijan’s development
and supported projects concerning rural development and environmental
protection, contributing close to PLN 1 million. Grants were awarded to
three projects aimed at preventing environmental degradation and making local population professionally and socially active. The first project,
carried out by the Ministry of the Environment, set out to enhance qualifications of Azerbaijan’s administration staff so they can better draft and
implement environmental protection law aligned with EU standards. The
second project was about preventing farmland erosion and salinisation.
The third project aimed to mobilise into activity residents of Samukh and
Qazakh in north-western Azerbaijan by preparing local communities to
deal with their problems on their own.

PROJEC T TITLE:
“Optimisation of preventing activities for erosional processes
and salting of soils in Azerbaijan with geospatial data”
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Institute of Technology and Life Sciences in Falenty
Azerbaijan’s geographic diversity, with ecosystems ranging from high
mountains to steppes and deserts, constitutes an extraordinary natural potential. But at the same time, it causes trouble. Over 40 per cent
of the country’s territory is endangered by erosion, while almost 80
per cent of traditionally exploited agricultural areas are salty. These
are important obstacles to the development of rural areas. Another
problem consists in the lack of modern tools and research methods,
as well as spatial data that would allow for a more sound rural space
management.
Under the project, a methodology manual about the ways modern
tools (GIS equipment and software, satellite imagery) can be used to
manage natural resources in agriculture was prepared and published.
Researchers came up with a model allowing to determine such soil
parameters as humidity and salinity levels. The professional spatial
analysis laboratory at the Erosion and Irrigation Institute in Baku
was further equipped. Moreover, the digitisation of soil maps was
launched and spatial data bases for five Greater Caucasus regions
endangered by erosion were elaborated.

“Increasing the availability of drinking water in the rural areas of Ferghana Valley through technical and
institutional support of local water users’ organisation (Kyrgyzstan, Osh oblast, Tajikistan, Soghd oblast)”
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
East European Democratic Centre
The limited availability of drinking and irrigation water is one of the most serious problems in Kyrgyzstan. This is due to the poor condition of water and
sanitation infrastructure. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, water supply
network has not been renovated, which makes it difficult to use and makes
water unfit for human consumption.
Having regard to these problems, in 2012, the MFA financed the East European Democratic Centre’s project carried out in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The
initiative aimed to increase the availability of drinking water and enhance
water management. The project helped improve the infrastructure supplying drinking water to nine villages in the south of Kyrgyzstan. Training was an
important element of the project, as it aimed to improve the organisational
skills of local water users’ associations and increase their knowledge about
water management.

“Developing women’s cooperatives in the Shaartuz region in southern Tajikistan”
Project no. 87/2012
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Polish Centre for International Aid
The project aimed to improve social and economic situation of women in
Tajikistan’s poorest, semi-desert region of Khatlon. The project resulted in
the creation of seven women’s cooperatives dedicated to breeding and
trading animals, tailoring, growing and trading vegetables and baking
bread. Support was provided to 105 women in danger of social exclusion:
single mothers with children, divorced or abandoned women, girls not
attending school and working on cotton plantations or women whose
husbands went abroad.
The first stage of the project consisted in psychological and housekeeping workshops during which women learnt how to deal with emotionally
demanding situations, got to know each other better and built a sense of
community. Then, the women took part in financial education, legal and
accounting, and management workshops. Finally, with the help of coaches,
groups of women chose the type of activity they wanted to take up and
prepared business plans. They were able to start their own economic activity thanks to microloans of USD 100, which they undertook to pay back.

In November 2012, an official “round table” was organised to
close the project. One of the participants, 28-year-old Mehri,
did not show up at the meeting. The director of Chasma, Mrs
Sanovbar Kurbanovna, guessed that Mehri was ashamed to come
because she did not have an appropriate outfit. After the
meeting, we decided to visit her with Sanovbar. To my great
surprise, the other participants of the project were already
there. They had brought her presents they had got from the
Chasma’s coaches during the round table: cosmetics, a comb
and a kerchief. They were drinking tea and having a lively
conversation on the foundations of Mehri’s unfinished house.
This scene strengthened our belief that we had managed to
inspire solidarity and mutual support among the participants
of the project.

Projects that were carried out in East Africa thanks to grants of the Poland’s
Development Cooperation call for proposals targeted three sectors: education and social and vocational empowerment; environmental protection;
healthcare. 16 projects received a total of PLN 5,073,000 in co-funding.
One of East Africa’s major problems is the lack of access to primary and vocational education. Other factors hampering social development include
low quality of teaching and insufficient school infrastructure. To tackle the
above problems, Polish NGOs put in place projects that helped ensure
equal educational opportunities, enabled teachers to become more active
and promoted the use of modern teaching methods. As regards social and
vocational empowerment, the Poland-East Africa Economic Foundation
implemented a project to boost the potential and operations of self-help
associations in Burundi’s rural areas. The promotion of micro-business and
actions taken at the community level created new jobs in new service
centres and at a sewing shop. Consequently, the associations were able
to develop their activities and provide more assistance to beneficiaries.
East Africa is still one of the world’s regions most affected by epidemics of
HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Poor access to drinking water poses
another problem. The aim of healthcare projects was to improve sanitation
and hygiene conditions, as well as medical care infrastructure. Under a
project carried out in South Sudan, the Polish Centre for International Aid
installed solar energy-powered lighting in 29 medical facilities. As a result,
medical care can now be provided to around 460,000 people also at night.

“Completion of the enlargement of the primary school for blind of the
Centre for Blind Children in Kibeho, Rwanda”
Projects no. 708/2012 i 1160/2012
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Polish Embassy in Nairobi
When the Centre for Blind Children in Kibeho was being opened in
2009, the situation of disabled children in Rwanda was disastrous.
Children’s problems, in terms of both health care and education, had
been eclipsed by a bloody internal conflict that had hit the country
in the recent past. There had been amendments to legislation guaranteeing disabled people access to education, but the law was not
applied. The situation was made worse by the approach of relatives
who would treat children’s disability as a spell cast on the entire family – the cases of children being thrown out onto the street were
not unusual.
It seems that after a few years of its activity, the centre has not only
changed its patients’ lives but also encouraged the society of Rwanda
to look differently at the problem of blind children. The lack of state
authorities’ interest in the centre’s activity has now made way to the
promise of help and support. The initial number of 70 places turned
out to be insufficient, which made it necessary to extend the centre
by new school buildings with workshop rooms where professional
trainings could be organised for older residents.

In her conversation with Polish MFA Undersecretary of State
K. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, Secretary M. Baine stressed that Rwanda needs
more support to develop its educational system. “We appreciate your
contribution towards the Kibeho School. It has benefited our disabled
children in the area. Education system in the country still has a
gap and needs more investments”.

2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
PROJEC T TITLE:
“Scientifically exciting lesson in the slum - incorporating active
methods of science teaching and ICT technologies into the
process of teaching in Mathare slum in Kenya”
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Partners Poland Foundation
Although primary education in Kenya is available free of charge, their
number of shools is certainly too low: in 2011, the Mathare slum
had three schools catering to a population of around 400,000 people. Therefore, many families send their children to informal schools
founded by the local community. These, however, do not receive
any support from the government and often do not have the basic
equipment. Moreover, teachers working in those schools do not have
the right qualifications. Bearing this in mind, the Partners Poland
Foundation carried out a project which aimed to improve the quality
of education in the Mathare slum. Ten schools were equipped with
different teaching materials (mobile laboratories, galileoscopes, solar
energy-powered notebooks), teachers were trained to teach sciences
using engaging methods, and computer laboratories were created.
All this has contributed to the improvement of pupils’ performance.
Edward Thiong’o Ngumo, accountant
working for the Kenyan partner in
the project:
I don’t know if Poles are aware that to live in a one-room
hut made of corrugated metal sheet, planks and ropes you
have to pay a rent, ranging from PLN 40 to 80, both to the
land owner and to the owner of the materials used for the
construction. You also have to pay for electricity (if it’s
available) and water. For slums’ inhabitants, who usually
earn their living doing odd jobs, it is a considerable cost.

The Palestinian National Authority has been a Polish development cooperation priority area since 2005. Polish support addresses development
needs of the Palestinians and is consistent with priorities of the Palestinian
National Authority’s development strategy, as laid down in the National
Development Plan 2011–13. Establishing the State, Building our Future.

In the West Bank, major problems include the scarcity of clean water, its
limited consumption by the Palestinians (an average of 73 l/person/day 8)
and water supply shortages in agriculture and industry. In 2012, the MFA
co-funded a project in the South Hebron District that set out to improve
the Bedouin community’s access to water by reconstructing agricultural
water tanks. The development of water and sanitation infrastructure also
translates into better health and sanitary conditions for the population, and
helps protect the natural environment.

The West Bank’s economic slowdown led to rising unemployment. The
most efficient economic sectors (including agriculture), which have the
greatest potential to create new jobs, have been hard hit by the occupation and the impeded flow of goods and persons, which still prove
an obstacle to growth. Polish aid helps activate farmers for professional
activity by disseminating new methods of agricultural production (organic recycling and aquaponic farming) among small agribusinesses in
the Bethlehem District.

2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
In 2012, Polish aid co-funded a project to enhance social and cultural
standards in the marginalised region of Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron
District. The project trained a group of local leaders who will go on to
promote the region with different institutions and social groups across
the West Bank, and encourage the local population to take an active part
in community life.
In 2012, Poland’s Representative Office to the Palestinian National Authority and local partners put in place four projects which received close to
PLN 470,000 in co-funding.

The project aimed to improve access to water for domestic and
agricultural use, as well as increase the knowledge of how to
use water in a safe and effective way. The initiative targeted
the Bedouins’ community (agricultural and pastoral holdings)
from villages located in the South Hebron District, which is
the driest area on the West Bank. More than a half of the local
population does not have direct access to water and sanitation infrastructure. The only sources of water are underground
cisterns catching and storing rain water and water carts supplying water against payment. The lack of access to water and
administrative constraints related to the occupation impede
the social and economic development of the region, where 12
per cent of the population lives in rural areas. Under the project,
30 agricultural cisterns, which provide water to between 600
and 720 people, were renovated. Moreover, the project covered
trainings in hygiene, cistern maintenance and water extraction
and management. Finally, an additional training was organised
to show women how to clear water using the SODIS9 method
(recognised by the UNICEF).

In the SODIS method, you take PET plastic bottles, fill them with water and expose to
full sunlight for at least six hours on a sunny day or for two days when the sky is overcast.
The bottles should not have any dents and must be transparent and clean.

The Multiannual Development Cooperation Plan 2012–2015 identifies
professionalisation and development of the public administration as the
first of three specific priorities for Afghanistan. Accordingly, 20 firefighters
serving in the Afghan police structure were trained in Częstochowa. Thanks
to cooperation between the National School of Public Administration
(KSAP) and the Afghanistan Civil Service Institute (ACSI), 37 mid-level officials also underwent trainings on management and communications. In
addition, KSAP and the Polish Embassy in Kabul helped the ACSI expand
its library, which should contribute to developing a vocational training
system for civil servants.
Provincial sustainable development is another priority in Afghanistan. A
Polish civilian and military group which is part of the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Ghazni is responsible for most of the projects in
this priority. The PRT helped renovate roads, build bridges and dams. But
infrastructure investments are just one aspect of Ghazni’s reconstruction.
The PRT also put in place several projects within the third priority, i.e. SMEs
and job creation. Local manufacturing and trade were boosted due to vocational and business trainings. Most of such projects, e.g. carpet weaving
workshops, were addressed to women. Equally important, the participants
were provided with commercial contacts following the training, which
enabled them to sell their products.
In 2012, the Polish Embassy in Kabul coordinated three small grants projects which received close to PLN 270,000 in co-funding.

“Curtain making as a path to professional activation
of Afghan women”
PRT Ghazni
Professional activation programmes prepare Afghan
women to enter the labour market and make it easier for
them to earn their first money. In 2012, thanks to financial
support from the Polish MFA, the PRT Ghazni carried out
a project addressed to a group of 40 women. The initiative aimed to increase the participants’ skills in curtain
making. After the training, each of the participants received their own sewing machine. Theoretical and practical knowledge they gained should help the inhabitants of
Ghazni improve their and their families’ material situation.

The “Support for Democracy” programme was the key initiative funded by
the MFA and put in place by the Foundation in 2012. It awarded grants to
71 social campaigns that Polish NGOs implemented in the Eastern Partnership countries, Tunisia, Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The projects’
objective was to support pro-democracy institutions and circles in partner
countries. Moreover, in 2012 the Foundation implemented a European
Dialogue on Modernisation with Belarusian Society project, sent several
dozen Poles on OSCE / ODIHR election observation missions to Georgia
and Ukraine, and inaugurated the Information Centre for Local Authorities
in Moldova.

The international civil society mission to monitor parliamentary elections in Ukraine on 28 October 2012 was
organised in cooperation with European Exchange, Berlin,
and the Lithuanian Eastern Europe Studies Centre. The
mission took place from September through November
2012, under the honorary patronage of the former Polish
President, Aleksander Kwaśniewski, and the former German dissident and the last foreign minister of the GDR ,
Markus Meckel. Under the mission, an international group
of experts and long-term observers, as well as a few dozens of short-term observers were sent to Ukraine. They
were deployed in Lviv, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk,
Odessa and Kyiv. As a result, four reports on the election
campaign and the election process itself were published.
The report summarising the mission was presented to the
public on 30 November 2012 in Warsaw, Berlin and Vilnius.

PROJEC T TITLE:
“Solidarity with Burma – media workshops”
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Lech Wałęsa Institute Foundation
The long-standing censorship policy, repression against independent
journalists and poor education quality have adversely affected the
knowledge and skills of the Burmese media staff. The initiative aimed
to increase qualifications of journalists both in the local and the countrywide media.
Under the project, a total of 20 journalists representing 13 media outlets participated in workshops in Rangoon and Mandalay. During the
classes, the journalists analysed the entire work cycle of a newspaper’s
or a radio’s editorial team. Four best participants were invited to go on
one-month individual internships in Poland. As a result of the workshops,
two special editions of local newspapers were issued. The participants
also wrote several press articles and prepared several radio shows. The
project allowed young journalists and future editors to acquire new skills,
which will be very important in a country undergoing violent changes.
Moreover, a centre for local journalists founded by the partner organisation Pandita Development Institute was provided with new computer
equipment, while the school run by the Bayda Institute, where volunteer
teachers give classes to more than a thousand children aged 5–16, was
presented with audio-visual equipment and a set of educational DVDs.
The project was carried out under the
“Democracy Support 2012” programme.

“Solidarity with Burma”:
Many Burmese journalists do not specialise in any particular
field, so we decided to organise special workshops which
would inspire young people beginning their career to choose
their development path. The selection of workshops is huge,
including such specialisations as radio shows, press releases,
documentaries, editorial management and newspaper production.
Classes were interpreted into Burmese, which made it possible
to attract more journalists who hadn’t been able to participate
in such workshops before.

Poland takes an active part in shaping the EU humanitarian policy. As in
previous years, in 2012 MFA officials took part in meetings of the Council
Working Party on Humanitarian Aid and Food Aid (COHAFA). The meetings’ agenda included working out an EU response to humanitarian crises
in Syria and Mali, and negotiating a draft regulation on EU Aid Volunteers.
The OCHA Donor Support Group (ODSG) is an informal body consisting
of 25 humanitarian aid donor countries which provide regular support
to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(UN OCHA), both financially and by participating in the strategic dialogue.
Since February 2012, Poland has been an ODSG member as the only country representing EU-12. In June 2012, the Norwegian city of Tromsø hosted
an ODSG high-level meeting, the first one to have been attended by a
Polish delegation.
Between July 2011 and August 2012, Poland and Germany co-chaired
Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD), an international initiative of countries providing humanitarian aid. During that time, Poland’s and Germany’s
Permanent Representations to the UN in Geneva hosted meetings of state
parties to the initiative. On the sidelines of the UN Economic and Social
Council, Poland and Germany organised the GHD high-level meeting in
New York on 17 July 2012. The central topic of the Polish-German GHD
co-chairmanship was disaster risk reduction (DRR).

In 2012, the MFA humanitarian aid consisted primarily of:

More than 1/3 of the 2012 Polish humanitarian
aid was devoted to help Syrian refugees and
address the Syria crisis.
voluntary contributions to general budgets of international humanitarian organisations and multilateral funds (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs – UN OCHA, International Committee of
the Red Cross – ICRC, UN High Commissioner for Refugees – UNHCR)
– totalling PLN 2.5 million;
support for international humanitarian organisations’ programmes in
specific global regions: World Food Programme (WFP) – programmes
in Mali and Afghanistan; UN OCHA – Afghanistan and Syria offices and
the Syria Emergency Response Fund10; UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) –
programme in Pakistan; UNHCR – programmes in South Sudan,
Syria and Jordan; ICRC – programmes in Afghanistan and Ethiopia,
UNRWA – programme in the Palestinian National Authority – totalling
PLN 8.96 million11;
grants to humanitarian projects carried out by Polish NGOs (measures addressed to Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon) – totalling
PLN 1.75 million.
Following the armed conflict that started in March 2011, Syria’s neighbours
had to grapple with a massive influx of refugees. By late 2012, 481,000
refugees fled to Lebanon and Turkey, while approximately two million
people were internally displaced within Syria. Poland actively supported
international relief measures for the affected population, providing assistance to Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through Polish NGOs:
Caritas Polska and the Polish Centre for International Aid.

Many Syrian children in Jordan do not attend public schools, mainly due to the difficult economic
situation of their families. Thanks to the project, the little refugees could participate in compensatory English, Arabic and maths classes, as well as informal education and physical education classes
organised three times a week.
Under the project carried out by Caritas Polska and Caritas Jordan, 350 Syrian refugees living in the
villages of Mafraq and Zarqa (200 children aged 6-15 and 150 people aged 16-40) were prepared to
start formal education and could take part in professional trainings, which should help them find
employment in Jordan.

Rafał Chibowski,
volunteer, Caritas Polska:
In the Middle Eastern culture people are more introverted.
I let children draw as much as possible, because it is
their way to express emotions. They drew what they normally
wouldn’t say. At the beginning, they pictured really
traumatic experiences, their drawings were dark, depicted
dead bodies and different kinds of weapons: handguns, long
guns, bazookas. After a few months, everything got back
to normal: children started to draw cartoon characters in
bright colours.
During one of the classes, we were cutting out sheep that
children had to colour and glue to a sheet of paper. I also
asked them to write wishes on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha,
the Feast of the Sacrifice. Muslims celebrate this holiday by
sacrificing sheep, which is why I chose these animals for the
cards. Every second wish written on the coloured cards read:
“I would like to spend my next Feast of Sacrifice back home,
in Syria.”

he 2011 intersectoral Memorandum of Understanding on the Development of Global Education defines global education as part of civic
education and formation, which broadens their scope by making people
realise the existence of global phenomena and interdependencies. For the
full definition and the Memorandum, visit http://www.polishaid.gov.pl/

Two consultation meetings on global education in Poland were held to
proceed with the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Development of Global Education. Educational materials were
peer-reviewed by the Zagranica Group in cooperation with NGO experts,
universities, ministries (the MFA and the Ministry of National Education)
and the Centre for Education Development (CED)12. The conclusions and
recommendations are set forth in the report How to Evaluate Quality in
Global Education. In addition, the Ministry issued an information brochure
entitled Global Education in Poland’s Development Cooperation Programme.
Under the Development Cooperation Act
global education is part of the development
cooperation programme coordinated by the
MFA . Global education funds are allocated by
way of competition to partners, such as NGOs,
public and non-public higher education institutions, local authorities, the Polish Academy of
Sciences (PAN) and its subordinate units.
Thanks to MFA financial support, in 2012 CED continued systemic teacher
trainings and other measures aimed at anchoring global education in dayto-day teaching. Among other things, the Centre prepared educational
kits for schools and staged a best global education project competition
for lower secondary schools. The MFA supported CED measures with

development cooperation organizations, the Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and
Language, and the University of Lisbon. Financial support: European Commission.
The competition consisted of four tasks:
1. Regranting of funds to global education projects carried out by NGOs;
2. Global education for all – education campaigns targeting the general
public;
3. Systemic global education initiatives with a clear multiplication effect;
4. Festival of development films, with special emphasis on film screenings
outside Warsaw and public viewings.
After a year’s interval, organisers reintroduced a task which made it possible
to select an operator for regranting funds to NGOs and global education
initiatives that will be implemented in cities and towns with a population
of under 0,5 million people. The winner of the regranting operator competition, the Education for Democracy Foundation, also provided support
(through trainings and small grants) to organisations with no experience in
global education. Sixteen subsidies and eight small grants were awarded
to educational programmes.

“Magic of football, magic of Africa – united by football”
Poland–East Africa Economic Foundation
The main aim of the project, inspired by the EURO 2012 football championships, was to promote
Africa among children. African footballers playing in Polish clubs met with young football fans
to talk about their home countries and African culture. Children could also play football with
African players during the Football Academy Workshops organised in Kluczbork in cooperation
with the Polish Football Association. The initiative also included the preparation of a 2013 calendar presenting the stories of footballers participating in the project. Finally, young football fans
could take part in a general knowledge quiz about Africa, in which almost 100 children were
awarded genuine football T-shirts of different African representations. At least 2,500 children
participated in the programme. Indirectly, the project reached a much larger audience thanks
to the media interest.

Frank Adu Kwame,
football player from Ghana:
I have been playing in Poland for two
years now. To be honest, I didn’t know
much about your country when I came here. Unfortunately, I have
experienced racism while playing in the Polish club. I believe
we can change something through such projects. I was happy to
meet people who like and understand Africa—it made me feel less
strange in Poland. I talked about racism but now I know that in
your country there are a lot of people who are friendly towards
others.
The opportunity to meet children and talk to them was the most
interesting part of the project. I like children and I think
I managed to catch a good contact with them. When they hear
stories about Africa, they understand better the reality of our
countries, for instance Ghana where I come from. I try to talk
about differences in the way parents raise their children in
Africa and in Poland.

The fifth edition was dominated by educational and medical projects
which responded to the most pressing needs of these countries. The volunteers cared for the blind in Rwanda, provided perinatal care to women

and children in Tanzania, where access to medical doctors and midwives
is very limited, and mounted campaigns to raise the public awareness of
health prophylaxis and the need to undergo medical check-ups in the
Indian city of Puria. In Burundi, a Polish volunteer conducted psychological
and educational workshops for the staff of a disabled children’s centre and
set up a small library of development psychology and physiotherapy books.
Volunteers in Cambodia taught young people English, whose command
should help them change their lives for the better. A volunteer veterinary
doctor at Tengeru University in Tanzania, where he was training local academic staff and giving lectures to students, developed a parasitology education programme. In Latin America, Peru and Bolivia volunteers worked
as street workers and tutors with children of the street in boarding schools
and orphanages. In Argentina, volunteers gave educational workshops to
foreigners’ children.
After returning to Poland, participants of the 2012 Polish Aid Volunteering Programme undertook many educational initiatives. They organised
workshops for children and young people in educational facilities, and
met with students and the general public at universities, in clubs and cafés,
where they talked about their experiences. Some of them staged photo
exhibitions, e.g. “A Dentist in Africa,” which showcased the day-to-day life

in a Cameroonian dentist’s office. Moreover, the programme inspired
a number of books and information brochures, including The Limits of
Darkness, an account of blind children’s lives in Rwanda14; Online Mission
compiled from blog posts by volunteers in Latin America; or My Name is
Antenor15, a story told by charges of a street boys’ home in Lima. A bilingual
documentary about migration and integration in Argentina and Poland
was also produced.
Many volunteers kept blogs that offer interesting information about their
host country and volunteering while they were abroad. [For links to the

PROJEC T TITLE:
“Street children in Lima – on their way for a smile”
PROJEC T AUTHOR:
Papaya Foundation
Under the project a volunteer carried out social and educational work. The initiative aimed to help children from the
Ayllu Situwa foster home and other children who still live on the street. The volunteer cooperated with workers from
the Ayllu Situwa boys’ home where she was giving classes and providing psychological help to the children. She also
did some street work with an experienced local social worker. Moreover, the volunteer helped street children and
youth find places in care establishments and made sure they received medical assistance and meals. Help in obtaining
identity documents, which are necessary to bring children and youth back to society, was another important aspect
of the volunteer’s work.
The volunteer shared her experiences on the Ayllu Situwa
home’s website (www.ayllusituwa.org) created by another
volunteer who had been to Lima in 2011. She uploaded
photos and texts prepared with the help of home residents.
The participation of children made the volunteer’s work
more time-consuming, but the boys are now able to prepare website materials without anyone’s help.
Beata Szady,
the volunteer participating
in the project:
The Ayllu Situwa home sucked me in, absorbed me, devoured me. But
it didn’t manage to deceive, possess or trick me. While working
with Lima’s street children, I tried to keep in mind Janina
Ochojska’s words: “Helping requires reason rather than emotion.”
Ayllu Situwa is a home substitute. We will never replace these
boys’ parents but through our attitude we show them that it is
possible to live differently. So every day, we give them a piece
of ourselves, providing them with material to create. It’s up to
them to mould it into shape. 9-year-old Moises once said: “If you
hadn’t come, I would probably still be unable to read or write.”
These words strengthened my belief that my work makes sense.
You only have to be careful not to lose yourself, not to burn
yourself out. Because sometimes you just get gobbled up, chewed
and spat out.

INFORMATION AND
PROMOTION
2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
A
lthough the economic downturn is being increasingly felt in Poland,
the public support for helping developing countries remains strong
(with 74 per cent being in favour in 2012). The opinion polls conducted
since 2004 for the MFA indicate that Poles feel morally obliged to help less
affluent societies. Indeed, there is a growing tendency among Poles to
view aid and support for less developed countries as potentially beneficial
for Poland as enhancing our country’s international prestige. On the other
hand, Poles still know very little about development cooperation, as the
media coverage of assistance issues is limited. Only 27 per cent of respondents say they have come across information about Poland’s development
cooperation. Still less, i.e. 11 per cent, have ever heard of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Those who are familiar with the subject matter
point to television (87 per cent), the press (20 per cent) and radio (20 per
cent) as their sources of information. An increasing number of (especially
young) people get their news from the Internet (18 per cent). Surprisingly
enough, schools, universities and other institutions play only a marginal
role. This means that while the Polish public continues to strongly support
assistance for weaker groups, and shows natural solidarity with them, they
have limited access to information about development aid.

The principal channel of communicating with citizens is the www.polskapomoc.gov.pl website and its English language version available at
www.polishaid.gov.pl. In 2012, the website featured a lot of new content,
including 159 news stories.
Furthermore, the website serves as the major tool for promoting publications, films and radio features that have been inspired or co-funded by Polish aid, as well as distributing materials on broadly defined development
cooperation. It also provides a platform for public consultations about
national drafts (including the multiannual programme and annual plans),
documents to be adopted by the EU and documents that Poland needs
to take a position on. In 2012, the public were consulted about bills on EU
Aid Volunteers16 and improving EU support to developing countries in
mobilising financing for development17.
Polish Development Cooperation Forum – held at the University of
Warsaw Library, the 5th Polish Development Cooperation Forum was the
biggest event promoting support for developing countries in 2012. The
Forum included three plenary debates about the future of the Polish development cooperation system and the private sector’s involvement in aid
projects. Volunteering work was promoted during six workshops, while
NGO staff engaged in projects funded by the Polish aid had a chance to
take part in professional trainings.

Rules of MFA collaboration with social partners
on development cooperation
In 2012, the MFA and its social partners involved in development cooperation drafted rules of regular meetings with the MFA undersecretary of
state responsible for development cooperation and MFA directors tasked
with its implementation. The document was posted at http://www.polskapomoc.gov.pl/Zasady,wspolpracy,z,partnerami,spolecznymi,1454.html.
It specifies the types of documents that are subject to consultations with
social partners and defines the format of consultations.
17 For more information about the consultations and the draft, visit: http://www.
polskapomoc.gov.pl/Konsultacje,spoleczne,projektu,stanowiska,rzadu,1553.html
Social partners of development cooperation include NGOs, experts, scholars, institutions involved
or interested in development cooperation, global
education and humanitarian aid, as well as organisations specialising in development cooperation as
defined in the Act of 16 September 2011.
75
2012 ANNUAL REPOR T
Cooperation with the media – the electronic and visual media play an
ever more important role in communication. As in previous years, the MFA
cooperated with radio broadcasters. In line with co-production agreements, TOK FM and Polish Radio One produced twelve radio features and a
number of news stories which were aired on several occasions. To promote
broadcasts co-funded by Polish aid, the “Polish Aid on Air” tab was added
to the website, featuring all audio materials recorded since 2008.
New content was also regularly uploaded onto the Polish aid channel on
YouTube. It now presents all Polish aid film productions, including Boys
from Nueva Cua, a documentary that premiered in the first half of 2012.
The film tells the story of young sports fans from the Venezuelan state of
Miranda who decided to create an alternative to violence in the poorest
part of the city. With financial support from the Polish Embassy in Caracas, they renovated a run-down sports field and opened a local sports
club. Produced by the HumanDoc foundation, the film was aired on TVP
INFO news channel, attracting 370,000 viewers. It was also broadcasted on
TVP Polonia, TVP Kultura and TVP Kraków. The UK’s Community Channel
(http://www.communitychannel.org/) showed two films that had been
produced in previous years, i.e. Fencers for Palestine and Let there be Peace
and Bread. For the next five years, they will also be available on Community
Channel’s website. In addition, the MFA made a feature about the 2012
SENSE programme, an MFA initiative carried out in cooperation with KSAP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AABDldE9aII
Creative commons licences – authors of the 2012 Openness Guide for NGOs
(http://ngoteka.pl/) stressed the fact that Polish aid calls for proposals were
among the first competitions to be organised by public authorities using
the creative commons licence. Since 2011 the MFA has been using the
licence for the purposes of development cooperation activities. Later on,
the Ministry started applying the CC BY 3.0 licence in most competitions
addressed to NGOs. Open licences are used to ensure the transfer of information between NGOs, promote the best solutions financed from public
funds and improve the quality of Polish aid projects.
