I. Luxembourg’s Official Development Assistance in 2012

Allocation of ODA by type of cooperation in 2012

The table below shows the complete allocation of Luxembourg’s ODA expenditure in 2012 by cooperation type as per the DAC’s rules.

According to the DAC’s framework, bilateral cooperation accounts for 70.94 % of all expenditure, compared to 29.06 % for multilateral cooperation.

Humanitarian aid, which is included in both types of cooperation, represented 13.24 % of ODA in 2012.

As a whole NGOs managed more than a quarter of bilateral cooperation (26.01 %) and 18.45 % of Luxembourg’s official development assistance.

The difference between gross and net ODA can be explained by the payments made to the Development Cooperation Fund (cf. point 5 infra), in other words directly from the State Treasury during the financial year.
