Neven Mimica (pronounced [nêʋen mîmit͡sa]; born 12 October 1953) is a Croatian politician and diplomat who has been serving as European Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development in the Juncker Commission since 1 November 2014.

[5] Ahead of the 2011 elections, SDP chairman Zoran Milanović assigned key preparatory work to Mimica, including the task of drafting public administration bills that later formed the basis of Milanovic's reform agenda.

[11] In late 2015, he negotiated a 200 euro million aid agreement with Eritrea as part of the Commission's efforts to reduce the flow from what was, at the time, the source of the third largest number of migrants.

[12] Since 2016, he has been working to implement the European Union's 44 billion euro Emergency Trust Fund for Africa which is aimed to entice private investors to some of the world's poorest nations and slow mass migration to Europe.

[13] Also during Mimica's time in office, the European Union suspended direct financial support for the government of Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza after concluding that it had not done enough to find a political solution to the 2015 post-election unrest in the country.

[15] Towards the end of his term, in 2019, Mimica pledged a total of 500 million euros in contributions of the EU to Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for the 2020–2022 period.
