In 2013, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs managed and implemented 85.11% of official development assistance, i.e. 274 926 million euros (of which 270 410 million euros was managed by the Department for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action).

The remaining 14.89% came from contributions made by the Ministry for Finance (8.75%), several other ministries (1.07%) and the share of Luxembourg’s contribution to the EU’s general budget – apart from the European Development Fund – allocated by the European Commission for the purposes of development cooperation in 2013 (16.39 million euros, i.e. 5.07% of Luxembourg’s ODA).

We should note in this respect that Luxembourg assistance via all the EU’s bodies, including Luxembourg’s contribution to the EDF, amounted to almost 32.28 million euros.
