This long word can be broken down easily: it consists of 'Entwicklung' (development), the linking -s, and 'Zusammenarbeit' (cooperation). 'Zusammenarbeit' itself is 'zusammen' (together) and 'Arbeit' (work). Literally, it therefore means cooperation for development.

Common verbs used with this noun are 'Entwicklungszusammenarbeit leisten' (to provide development cooperation), 'fördern' (to promote), or 'betreiben' (to carry out). A typical phrase is also 'im Rahmen der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit' (within the framework of development cooperation).
Viele Nichtregierungsorganisationen leisten wichtige Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.

development aid
Entwicklungshilfe refers to support provided by an industrialized country to a developing country. Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, on the other hand, emphasizes that both sides work together as partners and on an equal footing to promote development. The key question, therefore, is whether the focus is on the support provided or on the joint work.
