Summary/Abstract: With the evolution of international security threats, development aid is understood in the category of global responsibility ethics, and as such lies in the interest and is the objective of the mankind. The starting point for our considerations are two priority guiding principles of German foreign and security policy: shaping the international order and preventing regional threats. The growing importance of activities promoting development implicates their use in the field of prevention as well as in post-crisis stabilization. The activities of the federal government are defined, on the one hand, by multilateral considerations of German foreign policy (United Nations, Common EU Foreign Policy and Security Policy), and on the other hand, the internal German system of cooperation for the development. The article focuses on the specificity and selected aspects of the discussion on raising the efficiency of German mechanisms of development aid.
