Portfolio

DG DEVCO is in charge of development cooperation policy in a wider framework of international cooperation, adapting to the evolving needs of partner countries.
This encompasses cooperation with developing countries at different stages of development, including with countries that graduated from bilateral development assistance to cover the specific needs of these countries during the transition period between low-income countries and upper-middle-income countries.

DG DEVCO works closely with other Commission services responsible for thematic policies, as well as with the European External Action Service and Commission services on external action, to facilitate and help ensure a consistent approach.
