Ministry of International Cooperation (MIC) mandate had undergone several development and changes during the past years. The most prominent feature is the changing role of MIC according to the organizational setup; in 1994 it was a Planning Agency within the Ministry of Finance and National Economy. In 1996 it had become the Ministry of International Cooperation and Investment. The Ministry had been changed again in 1998 to the Agency of International Development within the Ministry of Finance and National Economy. It had been established as an independent ministry named the Ministry of International Cooperation and this time the investment was not part of it, but the Humanitarian Assistance had been included as of February 2001.

Further to the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in January 2005, the ministry was assigned a new mandate according to the presidential decree no 34, of the year 2005. Based on this; a new structure needed to be developed, due to the fact that the existing structure does not reflect the ministry new directives.
