Abstract
With global disbursements of development assistance peaking at USD 106.8 bn. in 2005, governments are about to redeem their position as leading capital provider to developing nations. An important part of this surge can be attributed to the emergence of newly active donor countries in the international aid architecture. This paper takes a closer look at Europe's leading donorship scheme administered by a non-member to OECD's Development Assistance Committee, Poland. The author investigates the origins and institutions of Polish aid, presents its motives and establishes trends in aid allocation by disbursement channel, type of flow and recipient region. It is against this backdrop that Poland's incipient development co-operation policy is tentatively evaluated in the closing section of the paper.
