Aid is defined as all grants (whether in cash or in kind) and concessional loans received by government.

The Aid Management Division is the designated executing agency for aid funding in the Cook Islands. It is primarily responsible for the planning and overall management of donor program and project activities.

The division provides secretariat services for the Aid Coordinating Committee (ACC) and provides the national executing functions for the ACC for aid funds and concessional loans for the Cook Islands in accordance with the MFEM Act 1995-96.

The Aid Management Division is accountable to the government and the donor for the production of the outputs, the achievement of program and project objectives and for the use of aid and loan resources, including assets purchased by aid and loan funds.
