Minister Fajon began by presenting the results of the OECD Development Assistance Committee peer review of Slovenia’s development cooperation and humanitarian aid. This peer review recognised Slovenia’s institutions as a comparative advantage and an example of good practice for other members of the OECD DAC. The main recommendations in this area were to reduce the number of partner countries in which Slovenia operates to choose fewer projects and to increase their value. Minister Fajon highlighted that implementing institutions play a vital role in implementing Slovenia’s commitments under the Development Strategy 2030, enhancing Slovenia’s reputation as a development partner and positively impacting the local population. She also emphasized the need to streamline projects and increase their impact, expressed her gratitude for successful cooperation, and pledged continued support, including easing administrative challenges.
