The EU Donor Atlas makes data on development needs and financing for development easy to access and understand.
By clicking on the left, you will be able to explore the Atlas by topic.
For each topic, you have access to an interactive site to customize your search as needed ( data by geography, year, currency...)
A set of Infographics is available for selected topics: snapshots on global trends (scaling up ODA, Africa the top receiver continent..)
Global Trends: The World’s Leading Donor
The European Union is the world's leading donor working with partner countries across the globe.
The primary and overarching objective of EU development policy is the eradication of poverty in the context of sustainable development, including the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
You can explore here overall EU aid trends, and EU aid by region, sector, theme and channel.
Accountability: Financing for Development
Financing for development aims to create a favourable environment for development by addressing the responsibilities of both developing countries and the global community.
You can explore here how the EU and its Member States have fulfilled so far their commitments for more and better financing for development.
MDGs: Ending Poverty
The European Union (EU) joined world leaders at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000 with the aim "to free fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanising condition of extreme poverty". 189 countries committed to a global partnership, focused on eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to reduce extreme poverty by 2015. The UN Millennium Goals Report 2011 confirms significant progress on a number of time-bound targets since its adoption in 2000.
Here, you can explore how EU aid is supporting the achievement of these goals worldwide.
Conflict and Fragility: Supporting Stability
Fragile situations require more efforts and interventions and a combination of tools and instruments going beyond the traditional ODA scope of action, particularly in times of crisis.
Security and development are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
You can explore here overall EU aid to countries in situations of fragility by region, country and sector.
Education: Investing in Human Capital
The EU promotes access to quality basic education for all children, youth and adults.
This global commitment was agreed upon through the international Education for All movement.
You can explore here overall EU aid for education by region, country, and sub-sector.
Population & Health: Protecting Lives
Ill health is both a cause and effect of poverty. In a vicious cycle, poverty generates ill health, and poor health, in turn, brings more poverty.
The EU, in order to improve the health conditions in developing countries, is taking action in health care as well as in nutrition, water & sanitation, information & education for healthier behaviour.
You can explore here overall EU aid for population and health by region, country, and sub-sector.
The EU is collectively the biggest donor in the world, spending €53 billion every year on helping the most vulnerable people on the planet and advancing development globally. I am always impressed by the combined force we achieve with European aid efforts – a fact that is also strikingly demonstrated by this new edition of the EU Donor Atlas.
