The Development Cooperation Fund (DCF) in 2013
Established by the amended law of 6 January 1996 on development cooperation and humanitarian action, the Development Cooperation Fund - is an instrument which enables the Ministry for Foreign Affairs to carry out successfully development programmes and projects extending over several years.
The state budget provided the DCF with 178 491 591 euros in 2013; added to this are the assets available on 1 January, i.e. €1.905 million, as well as revenue during the year (2.192 million euros) – essentially reimbursements from NGOs of funds not disbursed on projects co-financed by the Ministry.
In 2013, a total of 178.523 million euros was disbursed through the DCF. Almost half of this amount (49.24%, i.e. 87.90 million euros) was granted to the agency Lux-Development as the state’s principal implementing partner for projects and programmes involving bilateral governmental cooperation. We should also note that almost 20% of the available funds were allocated to non-governmental development organisations as part of the co-financing of their projects and programmes. The interventions by UN organisations in Luxembourg development cooperation’s partner countries account for 12.18% of the funds disbursed.
