Breakdown of ODA by intervention sectors in 2013
The following table gives the breakdown by sector of all Luxembourg ODA expenditure in 2013.
In 2013, Luxembourg development cooperation continued to focus on sectors under the category of infrastructure and social services, which make up 35.37% of total aid (and over 80% of bilateral aid, i.e. 81.50%). Within this category, education and health (15.60% and 15.34% respectively of bilateral aid) remain the main sectors of Luxembourg cooperation, followed by support for good governance and civil society (6.34%).
The category of infrastructure and economic services made up 6.17% of aid (8.63% of bilateral aid), the main sub-category being that of investments in the sector of banks and financial services (6.71% of bilateral aid).
The category of production sectors made up 4.59% of ODA in 2013 (5.75% of bilateral aid), in the main allocated to agriculture, forestry and fishing.
Support intended for cross-cutting issues represented 5.01% of ODA (12.60% of bilateral aid).
We should note that, under multilateral ODA, a large part of the investments (82.01%) cannot be allocated to a precise sector. This can be explained by the nature of multilateral aid, which is made up of direct, mandatory or voluntary contributions, to the multilateral agencies’ general budget.
