Countries
The country of Liechtenstein has tasked the Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) with its bilateral development cooperation.
The selection of the regions is guided by the overriding principles set down in Liechtenstein's law on international humanitarian cooperation and development: «Development cooperation focuses on the sustainable and comprehensive development of the world's disadvantaged and marginalised regions, particularly rural and less developed regions. It aims to empower the people who live in these regions to pursue their goals on their own responsibility and independently.» Article 6 (1), Liechtenstein international humanitarian cooperation and development law.
