Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation, known as MASHAV in its Hebrew acronym, was founded in 1958 as part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is responsible for initiating and implementing Israel's development cooperation program worldwide. MASHAV aims at transferring expertise and technologies that have assisted Israel in its own path to development to other countries.
Today, Israel cooperates with over 140 countries, providing training in Israel and abroad, operating on-site demonstration projects and building medical infrastructure in partner countries.
MASHAV is active in fields ranging from agriculture to medicine and from community development to entrepreneurship.
