The continuation of the foreign catastrophic fund and the commitment to provide 0.7 percent of the gross national income for development aid should be particularly emphasized. Stefan Fritz, Managing Director of International, refers to maintaining the foreign catastrophic fund as an important signal in view of the global crises that are increasingly being. Over 305 million people worldwide urgently need humanitarian aid, and at the same time the international financing gaps, in particular through the cuts of US aids. "The early release of these funds is a condition for successful use," Fritz continues. The goals of Austrian development cooperation include not only acute aid, but also the fight against poverty and the protection of the climate and the environment.
