The subject of the article is the level of interest that Polish students show for issues of humanitarian aid, organized in Poland for the current needs of Africa. The author decided to verify the conviction arising from her own observations that the degree of knowledge and commitment for this topic, among Polish students, is rather low. Therefore, she conducted a survey in three academic centres, among students representing four faculties in humanities (98 respondents). Unfortunately, the results confirmed her initial observations. In this group, knowledge about the scope and nature of Polish humanitarian aid for Africa was pour and shallow. In addition, the author drew attention to the low level of interest for this issue, presented by the respondents. However, the author believes that the undertaken study is worth continuing, for instance, with respect to reasons for this situation.

The article is concerned with the latest strategies of Polish development policy in the light of shifting global economic and political power structures, when North-South relationships are fundamentally changing, and so the conditions that frame European and polish development aid policy. Key documents define Polish development aid activities as the important field of foreign policy. The first part of the article analyses the determinants and experience of polish development cooperation. The second part examines the legal basis for development cooperation (Act on Development cooperation approved on 16th of September 2011 by the Polish Parliament) and the medium term vision for Poland’s development cooperation (Multiannual development cooperation programme 2012–2015, development cooperation plan for 2012 and 2013). The last part of the analysis characterizes geographical and thematic areas of polish aid. The article presents strengths and weaknesses of Poland’s official development assistance (ODA). The author intends to describe basic principles of the organization of the Polish development policy under Development Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and so their implementation.

The paper examines the factors that determined the emergence of non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs) in Poland and their impact on the appropriation of development norms and practices by the Polish aid system. These processes are understood as a natural continuation of, on the one hand, the international appeal of the trade union and mass movement "Solidarność" in the 1980s and, on the other hand, the country’s participation, dating back to the Cold War era, in the system of development aid. The contemporary development cooperation system has been shaped by geo-political factors. Polish aid, however, has also benefited from its cooperation with the NGDO sector, which willingly shared its hands-on experience and know-how in providing humanitarian aid, development cooperation, and global education projects. The indirect influence of foreign donors on Polish development cooperation should likewise be acknowledged.

Artykuł przedstawia czynniki, które ukształtowały ewolucję polskich organizacji pozarządowych zaangażowanych w politykę rozwojową oraz wpływ tych podmiotów na przyswojenie praktyk i norm związanych z międzynarodową współpracą na rzecz rozwoju przez rządowy program „Polska pomoc”. Procesy te są rozumiane jako kontynuacja posłania NSZZ „Solidarność” do ludzi pracy Europy Wschodniej oraz zaangażowania Polski w międzynarodową współpracę na rzecz rozwoju jeszcze z czasów „zimnej wojny”. Współczesny system współpracy rozwojowej ukształtowany został przez czynniki geopolityczne. Niemniej jednak rządowy program „Polska pomoc” zyskał na współpracy z polskim sektorem pozarządowym, który podzielił się swoją wiedzę i doświadczeniem w dostarczaniu pomocy humanitarnej, współpracy rozwojowej oraz edukacji globalnej. Uwzględniono również pośredni wpływ zagranicznych darczyńców w analizowanych procesach.
