The remaining 16,93 % came from contributions made by the Ministry of Finance (9,84 %), several other ministries (1,33 %) 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 2018 (23,11 million euros, i.e. 5,76 % of Luxembourg’s ODA).
