I. Luxembourg’s official development assistance in 2016

ODA in 2016 by Ministry

In 2016, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs managed and implemented 81,65% of official development assistance, i.e. 288,32 million euros (of which 282,75 million euros was managed by the Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action).

The remaining 18,36% came from contributions made by the Ministry of Finance (10,78%), several other ministries (1,12%) and the share of Luxembourg’s contribution to the EU’s general budget – apart from the European Development Fund (EDF) – allocated by the European Commission for the purposes of development cooperation in 2016 (22,81 million euros, i.e. 6,46% 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 32,65 million euros.
