The development cooperation fund in 2023

The state budget provided the DCF with EUR 357.65 million in 2023; added to which are the assets available on 1 January, i.e EUR 15.79 million, as well as revenue during the year (EUR 2 613 070.18). Revenue includes repayments by NGOs and agencies of undisbursed funds from projects co-financed by the Ministry.

In 2023, a total of EUR 364.64 million was disbursed through the DCF. LuxDev, as the state’s principal agent responsible for the implementation of projects and programmes falling under the heading of governmental bilateral cooperation, benefited from the majority of this amount, i.e. EUR 143 million (39.26%).

Humanitarian aid was credited with EUR 98.85 million (27.11%). Next come non-governmental development organisations, which received EUR 45.90 million (12.59%) as part of the co-financing of their projects and programmes and to cover some of their administrative costs, and multilateral organisations and agencies (10.84%). The balance was accounted for by projects implemented by the Ministry directly with other partners (9.09%) and programme support (1.11%).
