CzDA
Organization: Czech Development Agency
About
CzDA was established in 2008 and operates under the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, implementing bilateral ODA in Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova), Western Balkans, and sub-Saharan Africa. The Czech Republic’s development cooperation approach draws on its own post-1989 transformation, with emphases on democratic governance, civil society, and economic transition.
Ukraine has become CzDA’s most significant bilateral partner since the full-scale invasion. Czech programmes include health facility support, humanitarian supplies, civil society and media resilience, governance, and reconstruction assistance. The Czech Republic has also been notable for a ‘Czech initiative’ to procure and deliver artillery ammunition to Ukraine — separate from ODA — demonstrating broad political engagement. CzDA co-finances Czech NGOs active in Ukraine, and its bilateral programme remains a channel for medium-scale health and civil society funding for implementing partners.
The Czech Development Agency (CzDA) is the implementing agency of Czech bilateral ODA, funding humanitarian assistance and development projects in health, governance, civil society, and education across approximately 15 priority countries, with Ukraine as a top-tier recipient since 2022.
Ukraine Commitment
The Czech Republic has pledged substantial support to Ukraine across humanitarian, military, and recovery tracks, with CzDA managing bilateral programmes in health, civil society, and governance; Czech NGOs are also active implementing partners through the CzDA co-financing framework.
