What we do

Achieving sustainable human development, the eradication of poverty, active peace-building and the full exercise of the rights of global citizenship: these are the goals of both Spanish Cooperation and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation.
Every day, AECID demonstrates its solidarity in over 50 countries throughout the world, and strives constantly to surpass itself, fighting poverty and exclusion, defending peace, working for the environment and sustainable development, responding to conflict and natural disasters and promoting education rights, health, culture and food security.
AECID is committed to the Millennium Development Goals, the most ambitious target the world’s peoples have ever set themselves.
