Breakdown of ODA by type of cooperation in 2023

This reveals that bilateral cooperation, as defined by the DAC, represents 73.21% of all expenditure (DCF and budget items), while 26.79% was expended on multilateral cooperation.

Humanitarian aid, which is included in bilateral cooperation, was 18.60% of ODA in 2023.

NGOs administered a fifth of Luxembourg’s ODA (19.87%), of which 15.22% was administered by Luxembourgish NGOs approved by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.

The difference between gross and net ODA is due to the reimbursements made to the Development Cooperation Fund (DCF) or directly to the State Treasury during the year (cf. point 5 below).
