Hungarian Development Policy

Hungary belongs to the Central European ‘wing’ of emerging donor countries. This categorisation refers to a group of countries sharing certain similar or common historical and political experiences. Contrary to the political dialogue in the region, these countries do not engage in formal or informal cooperation on their participation in international development assistance, regardless of whether they are members of the Visegrad Cooperation or not. Common experiences shared by these countries include changing perceptions of personal security, a decreasing standard of living, and a lack of a broad public interest and support for any meaningful role played by the country
