Austria's development
objectives and priorities are combating poverty, peace and
human security, protection and conservation of the
environment, gender, socially compatible economic development/
fair trade.
Austria's development priorities for Central and Eastern
European Countries (CEEC) are the promotion of sustainable
economic development in Central and Eastern Europe/
economic integration within Europe.
Concerning CEEC as well as the Newly Independent States (NIS)
Austria states the following development targets:
democratisation and peace-keeping (pluralistic democratic
structures, effective political and administrative systems;
modern education systems; human, minority, refugee rights);
poverty alleviation.
The partner country's realization of fundamental principles of
democracy is a precondition for Austria's development
assistance: respect of human rights, attention to refugees and
minority groups. Furthermore Austrian assistance requires the
partners' will to participate actively in the reform process
and commitment to long-term support to the projects realized
with Austria's assistance. |

Priority sectors are
rural development, decentralization, educational development/
vocational training, water supply and sanitation, energy,
promotion of small and medium enterprises, transport.
Regarding CEEC and NIS, priority sectors are the following:
Public administration, democracy and human rights; environment
(with particular emphasis on water and energy); education and
youth; employment and social services.[5] |
