Humanitarian Aid and Development Assistance Provided by the Republic of Azerbaijan
Resumo
In early years of its independence, the Republic of Azerbaijan experienced difficult economic situation and received assistance from a number of countries and international organisations. However, the rapid economic development as a result of successful economic and social policies contributed to the development of the country and Azerbaijan turned from an aid recipient country into the donor one.
Over the past 15 years, under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan H.E. Ilham Aliyev, multidimensional reforms have been carried out to promote the sustainable and competitive economic development, including the diversification of the economy, complex measures to increase non-oil exports, development of state-entrepreneurial relations, improvement of business and investment environment, stimulation of non-oil sector, including the introduction of incentives for the private sector, the state support to the agrarian sector, and the support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
As a result of the successful implementation of the measures envisaged in the adopted State Programs, Strategy, Concept, National Action Plans, Strategic Road Maps and other important software documents, high rates of growth have been observed in the Azerbaijani economy over the last decade. The gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 3.6 times in real terms during this period, while the share of the private sector in GDP reached 83.8 percent in 2017.
This rapid economic development has led Azerbaijan to transform into an active member of the international community and support initiatives and activities focused on the international development. As a modern state, the Republic of Azerbaijan has a new image of an emerging donor country delivering its aid to the people affected by natural and man-made disasters in different parts of the world, as well as to the countries facing economic difficulties. The country is assisting a number of countries on various bilateral and multilateral basis and is closely involved in the global development process. Different forms and different types of assistance (technical, humanitarian, financial etc.) to foreign countries are provided by separate state bodies of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan, as an active member of donor community, contributes to the sustainable development and humanitarian response at the global level, and steadily pursues this important mission.
