Greece seeks to resolve challenges facing the Mediterranean, Southeast Europe and the Middle East, and advocates for a safe marine environment in the Eastern Mediterranean. The government wants to adopt a fairer, more sustainable development approach and will reflect the Sustainable Development Goals in its national development strategy.Greece experienced two crises since the last peer review of its development co-operation: a severe economic recession resulting in significant cuts to the national budget, including official development assistance (ODA); and an ongoing refugee and migration crisis.Greece maintained its commitment to development co-operation during the economic and migration crises. It met its commitments to European Union institutions and other multilateral organisations. It also mobilised resources and people to provide significant support to asylum seekers and refugees, and adapted its domestic policies to create conditions for peaceful co-existence between refugees, asylum seekers and the Greek population.As the economy recovers, the government needs to take a number of steps to improve Greek development co-operation. Build a new vision for development that is supported by stakeholders with a keen interest in development, such as civil society organisations, the private sector and academics, and by the broader public. Update the law governing development co-operation and create a focused, whole-of-government approach, including to Greece’s multilateral partners. Determine its comparative advantage in a particular sector of humanitarian response. Restructure the Directorate General of International Development Cooperation-Hellenic Aid to meet its policy, programming and corporate objectives. Document the results achieved with ODA. Establish an evaluation unit and more efficient and effective systems to manage Greek ODA.
