Vienna, Austria
IIASA at the annual meeting 2013 of the Austrian Development Agency
IIASA and the ADA are collaborating partners within the framework of the WFaS Initiative. The Austrian Development Agency is the operational unit of the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC). It is in charge of implementing all bilateral programmes and projects in ADC's partner countries and administers the budget earmarked for this. Another focus of ADA's operations is education and information in Austria to convey the issue of development cooperation to a broader public.
The Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) forms part of Austrian foreign policy. Its strategic alignment thus falls under the purview of the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (MFA). In dialogue with the partner countries and the Austrian Development Agency, the operational unit of the ADC, the Foreign Ministry frames programmes and sets out Austrian development-policy positions in the Three-Year Programme. This comprises the essentials of Austrian development policy based on international commitments and the Federal Development Cooperation Act.
