"Slovakia provided €78 million in development assistance in 2015", reads a report from the Foreign and European Affairs Ministry issued on Wednesday. Slovakia's development aid increased 27 percent year-on-year due to increased contributions to international organisations and to humanitarian assistance programmes. The largest shares of provided assistance were channelled to Ukraine, Kenya and Moldova. Slovakia also contributed to humanitarian assistance, relating in particular to the conflicts in Syria, the Ebola outbreak in Africa, the El Nino climate phenomenon, earthquakes in Nepal and floods in Georgia.
