Abstract
For Estonia development cooperation and humanitarian assistance are new tools of foreign policy. Since 1998, and particularly during its first ten years in the EU, Estonia has utilized that policy instrument rather enthusiastically. The amount of aid, the number of recipient countries and the spheres and forms of assistance have constantly increased. For Estonia, giving foreign aid has been an element of its ethical and geopolitical reasoning, international visibility and gradually penetrating global outreach.
