Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation

The Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) () is an autonomous agency of the Spanish government responsible for the management of the government's international development cooperation policy.

Its original name was Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECI), but Royal Decree 1403/2007, of 26 October, amended its Statute and gave AECID its current name. AECID is a public agency under the aegis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, via the Secretariat of State for International Cooperation (SECIPIC).

The Agency is in charge of designing, implementing and managing development cooperation projects and programmes, whether directly, with its own resources, or through collaboration with other national and international bodies and non-governmental organizations. According to the OECD, Spain’s total ODA (USD 4.2 billion, preliminary data) increased in 2022, mostly due to in-donor refugee costs. ODA represented 0.3% of GNI. Provided by Wikipedia
