Bilateral development aid - 2018
Polish development aid for Belarus has invariably remained on a high level compared with other donors. Support for civil society and increased access to independent information remains a key factor. Additionally, financing is provided for activities to improve the social integration of persons with disabilities and children deprived of parental care. For several years now, support for entrepreneurship and the private sector has become a new and promising area of cooperation. Poland’s experience in developing entrepreneurship is of interest to Belarus as it wants to increase the share of SMEs in its GDP (to 40% in 2020).
In 2018, the total ODA for Belarus was PLN 123.34 million.
