I. Luxembourg’s official development assistance in 2016

Breakdown of ODA by type of cooperation in 2016

The table below gives the distribution by type of cooperation of all Luxembourg’s 2016 ODA expenditure, following the rules of the DAC. 

This reveals that bilateral cooperation (as defined by DAC) represents 71,57% of all expenditure (DCF and budget lines) against 28,43% expended on multilateral cooperation.

Humanitarian aid, which is included in bilateral cooperation, was 13,82% of ODA in 2016.

NGOs administered a fifth of Luxembourg’s official development assistance; 16% of it was administered by Luxembourg NGOs approved by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.

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).
