I. Luxembourg’s official development assistance in 2015

Breakdown of ODA by type of cooperation in 2015

The table below gives the distribution by type of cooperation of all Luxembourg’s 2015 ODA expenditure, following the rules of the DAC. 

This reveals that bilateral cooperation (as defined by DAC) represents 73,64% of all expenditure (DCF and budget items) against 26,36% expended on multilateral cooperation.

Humanitarian aid, which is included in bilateral cooperation, was 13,08% of ODA in 2015.

NGOs administered over a quarter of bilateral cooperation (26,28%) and a fifth (19,35%) of all of Luxembourg’s official development assistance.

The difference between gross and net ODA can be explained by the reimbursements made to the Development Cooperation Fund (DCF) or direct to the State Treasury during the year (cf. point 5 below).
