FOREWORD
Human beings in our age face a
multitude of distresses at any given time.
Human capability to cope with serious
problems ranging from instabilities to
wars, from epidemics to natural disasters
is closely related to the development
levels of countries. It is beyond question
that people in a country embrace the
future with hope to the extent they are
healthy, happy and prosperous. However,
we cannot and must not overlook the
fact that inequality between countries
and the ever-widening gap of living
standards between human societies are
the most serious problem of our age.
We must dwell with full conscience on
the question how long this would be
allowed to sustain.
It is our major responsibility, as
mandated by our age-long history, to
accurately interpret the events we
have recently been witnessing in our
geography, and take necessary action.
In the face of uncertainties introduced
by the new awareness arising as ancient
paradigms collapse one after another, it
is our obligation to future generations
to be all prepared at all times and uphold
the global esteem for Turkey.
In an age when human pursuit of
freedom and justice has effectively
unfolded active reaction to the status
quo in North Africa and Middle East
to build a mass of energy that has
the potential to have a bearing on
future decades, our country has for 10
years been growing steadily, sharing
the national income more fairly, and
developing its economy that has
achieved global competitiveness and
making significant progress to become a
regional power.
In this context, Turkey has left behind
the old introverted, wait and see
approach. All the activities by our public
entities, achievements in and outside
the country are institutional outcomes
of such new approach to foreign policy.
Our country has become a leading
actor in the world in development
cooperation efforts, a main pillar of our
new approach.
Through efforts to ensure that human
beings fairly enjoy the resources offered
by the Earth, and further converge the
development levels of countries, Turkey
has augmented her assistance activity
both towards the goals adopted by the
global community and in the geographies
of common historical and cultural
relations with us. In addition, we have
built a Vision of Turkey that touches and
assists human lives regardless of their
distance to Turkey.
As Turkey has since 2002 been
ascendant by her economic development
and effective role in international arena,
other countries tend to expect more
from us. To respond positively to such
friendly interest, all Turkish public
entities, non-governmental organizations
and private sector strive to outreach
anyone anywhere in the world.
Turkey has, on the other hand,
effectively implemented an “open-door
policy” for Syrians who have left their
country since April 2011 after the onset
of civil unrest, with the total figure
of arrivals exceeding 150,000 in 2012.
Hosting in our country these oppressed
people is our humanitarian duty which
necessitates a continuous allocation of
our resources.
Turkey increased her official
development assistance by 100% to 2.5
billion USD in 2012 at a time when the
total budget allocated by OECD-DAC
countries receded to 125 billion USD by
a decrease of 4% on the previous year.
In the same period, Turkey extended her
helping hand to 121 countries ranging
from Somalia to Bangladesh, from
Myanmar to Kosovo.
Against this background, the Turkish
Cooperation and Coordination Agency
(TİKA) has continued to grow as the
major body with the leading role in
Turkish official development assistance.
Mandated with the coordination of
all public entities to smoothly and
consistently execute development
cooperation activities, TİKA implements
and monitors through its 35 Programme
Coordination Offices in 32 countries,
and dynamically responds to the needs
of local peoples.
I congratulate the staff members who
selflessly devote their time and energy
to the highly commendable efforts and
achievements of our public entities,
including TİKA, which diligently
work towards implementing Turkish
development assistance programmes
and projects, and appreciate the work
of TİKA staff in the Department of
Strategy Development who have
produced this report.
Bekir BOZDA⁄
DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER
INTRODUCTION
Every year marks a new stride forward
in Turkish cooperation efforts in
that Turkey continuously augments
economic, business, technical, social and
educational cooperation with developing
countries around the world and leads
in delivering projects and programmes.
Accordingly, Turkish public entities and
non-governmental organizations marked
a new milestone in 2012 in Turkish
development cooperation establishing a
new source of pride for our country in
the international arena.
Our mission transcends ages, cultures
and forms as Yunus Emre voiced plainly
centuries ago, highlighting Turkish
achievements in economy (i.e. for self)
and development assistance (i.e. for
others), and guiding our future work:
“Revived have we become springs,
Awakened have we risen rivers,
Surged onto seas now, hamd to Allah.”
Accordingly, our existing cooperation
with countries in the Balkans,
Caucasus and Central Asia was further
strengthened through Turkish assistance
efforts responding to immediate,
mundane needs of peoples as well as
chronic needs of those countries. Turkey
in this context undertook major projects
ranging from education to health, from
agriculture to transport infrastructure,
deriving significant experience in
terms of furthering the development
cooperation process on the basis of
reciprocity.
On the other hand, Turkey fulfilled all
her humanitarian obligations in 2012
particularly in the case of Syrians who
fled their destabilized land and were
hosted in various Turkish cities. In this
context, all Turkish public entities
including mainly AFAD and Turkish
NGOs continued selfless work aroundthe-clock as they did in the previous
years to alleviate human suffering during
their time in our country.
Turkey continued in 2012 to play
significant roles in crises of global
and regional scale. Particularly since
2011 when the hunger in Somalia was
declared a “humanitarian crisis” by the
United Nations, Turkey augmented her
efforts in Somalia and assisted Somalians
by all means and against all adverse
circumstances.
Heeding the demands of Arab peoples
for freedom, justice and democracy,
Turkey on one hand delivered aid to
peoples in need, and made best efforts
on the other to ensure expeditious
transition to peace and stability longed
for in the Arab geography.
Against this global panorama, Turkish
total development assistance amounted
to 3,324 million USD in 2012, with 2,533
million USD through public entities as
official development assistance, 735
million USD by the Turkish private
sector in direct investments, and 111.65
million USD by Turkish NGOs through
own resources.
Capable of delivering only 70 to 80
million USD in official development
assistance by 2003, Turkey has since
then consistently increased her aid
volume, culminating in a ratio of
assistance to gross national product
of 0.13% in 2012 contributing to
Millennium Goals, and 0.17% in 2011 and
0.32% in 2012.
Turkish assistance to Least Developed
Countries (LDCs) was estimated
at 279.81 million USD in 2011 and
increased by 21% to 337.27 million USD
in 2012, with Afghanistan, Somalia,
Sudan and Myanmar as the largest
recipients in this category.
Geographically, 46.6% of Turkish
assistance was delivered to the Middle
East, 31% to Africa, 18% to South and
Central Asia, and 3% to Balkans and East
Europe.
Ten largest recipients of Turkish aid in
2012 were in descending order Syria,
Egypt, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Somalia,
Sudan, Tunisia, Palestine, Kazakhstan and
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The preliminary data for 2012 reported
to OECD-DAC indicated that Turkey
was the fourth largest donor of official
Humanitarian Aid.
Since development assistance covers a
wide range of sectors, the collection of
relevant data through a professionally
designed data collection mechanism and
the harmonization of all donors with
international statistical reporting ensure
that assistance operations be conducted
more effectively and efficiently.
I wish to express my gratitude to
those selfless working officials of our
institutions and organizations, public or
private, including TİKA which authored
highly successful, effective and efficient,
sustainable projects; as well as Mr.
Hasan Burak CERAN, Head of Strategy
Development Department, Ms. Füsun
GÜR and Ms. Nurçin YILDIZ and all
staff members who have since 2004
compiled accurate statistics on Turkish
development assistance to coordinate
and promote our country’s efforts.

1.A. TOTAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE IN 2012
Turkey delivered a net total of 3,436.48
million USD in total development
assistance (TDA) in 2012. The
constituent parts of TDA include official
development assistance (ODA) to
developing countries by Turkish public
entities and other official flows (OOF)
aiming to foster economic development
and welfare in developing countries but
lacking the minimum grant element to
qualify as ODA. Turkey provided in 2012
a total of 2,533.3 million USD in ODA
and 56.53 million USD in OOF, with the
latter in the form of loan facilities.
Direct investment, referring to capital
export to developing countries,
qualifies as development assistance for
their potential to stimulate economic
development in recipient countries.
The Turkish private sector realized new
investments amounting to 735 million
USD in 2012.
Assistance operations by national nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)
constitute another component of total
development assistance. Turkish NGOs,
working actively both in development
cooperation and in Humanitarian Aid,
delivered a total of 111.65 million USD
through own resources.
Turkish total development assistance in 2012
exceeded 3 billion USD.

As would be seen in Chart 2, Turkish
development assistance which totaled
1,051.94 million USD in 2005 went
up to 3,436.48 million USD marking a
3.3-fold increase in 8 years mainly due
to the significant increase in official
development assistance.
Taking account of changes in currency
exchange rates and inflation from 2011
to 2012, TDA increased by 43.55% on
the previous year (shown in Table 1).
Official flows on the other hand reached
98.96% of TDA setting new highs.
On the other hand, the loans made
available by Eximbank contributed
negatively to TDA by 2010, but did
positively in the last two years because
the facilitated loans exceeded the total
interest received.

organizations (NGOs) decreased by 44%
as well from 199.52 million USD in 2011
to 111.65 million USD in 2012.
On the other hand, Turkish public
entities provided 39.43 million USD of
funds to NGOs. The said funds on top
of NGOs’ own funds meant a total of
151.08 million USD of assistance fielded
by our NGOs.

Official Development Assistance
Delivery Modalities
Official development assistance, as
the most important component in
development assistance, is delivered to
relevant counterparts mainly through
one or more of the following channels:
directly by the public sector,
Countries that are members in the
OECD Development Assistance
Committee (OECD-DAC) have
identified such international
organizations as a list; thus,
contributions or membership dues to
international organizations not in the list
do not qualify as assistance because they
are not intended for development.
through national or international
NGOs,
Turkish Official Development
Assistance in 2012
within the framework of publicprivate partnership,
Turkey delivered 2,533.3 million USD
in ODA, with 2,033.3 million USD
being grants, and 500 million USD in
official loan assistance. As a further
classification, 2,422.5 million USD of
the Turkish ODA involved bilateral
assistance to countries whereas
110.8 million USD was multilateral
contribution to international
organizations. Taking 2011 as the basis
and considering changes in exchange
rates and inflation, Turkish official
development assistance increased by
96.45% in 2012 to exceed 2 billion USD
for the first time. Turkish ODA since
2002 is charted in Chart 3.
by contributions to international
organizations.
The first three of the modalities above
are classified as bilateral, while the last as
multilateral.
The multilateral component of
development assistance is operated
through international organizations
which implement programmes and
projects through the participation and
budgetary contribution of members
and/or directly conduct loan facilitation
operations. Donors’ contributions
and membership dues to international
organizations are taken into account in
this category.
Annex 2 presents the list of ODA
recipient countries as identified by
OECD-DAC members, and the amount
of Turkish assistance to each recipient
country.
Turkish official development assistance
increased by 96.45% in 2012 to exceed
2 billion USD for the first time.

1.C. 2012 OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE BY CATEGORY
Regular annual statistical conferences
by OECD-DAC endeavor to ensure that
all countries compile data on the same
basis where representatives of donors
suggest various ways to better compile
and classify statistics. “Peace-building
assistance” for example, handled as a
distinct category in previous years, is
now classified under a new heading.
Similar changes may also be introduced
as in the case of a new category
“imputed student costs” created in 2011,
or the “Emergency and Humanitarian
Aid” being reclassified under the
Programme Assistance category. Overall,
efforts are made to improve the OECDDAC reporting system on the commonly
agreed ground.
In addition to novelties introduced by
OECD-DAC, Turkish assistance has
diversified in recent years with new
entries in budget items not previously
reported. Two new entries in 2012
are significant as they are the first of
their kind for Turkey: concessional
lending and direct support delivered to
developing countries’ budgets. Chart 4
depicts Turkish ODA by major category

The only negative change, or decrease,
in categories occurred in Asylum Seekers
by 48.77% not because the assistance
to asylum seekers declined in 2012, but
because the assistance to asylum seekers
classified as such in 2011 was reclassified
under Emergency Aid in 2012, hence
contributing to the 3-fold increase in the
latter category.
OECD-DAC reports the aid to an
asylum seeker in a developing country
for the first year as official development
assistance. However, tens of thousands
of injured Syrian guests who entered the
Turkish territory could not be classified as
asylum seekers in the conventional sense.
Turkish assistance in Emergency Aid,
Support to National NGOs, Publicity
and Promotion categories increased by
more than 200% in 2012.
A major reason for the increase in
Turkish 2012 ODA was the rising
figure of Syrian guests who arrived in
Turkey and were hosted in 8 Turkish
provinces. Another major reason was the
Turkish lending and budget support to
developing countries.
Turkish assistance in Emergency Aid, Support
to National NGOs, Publicity and Promotion
categories increased more than 200% in 2012.
Concessional Lending
Assistance qualifies as official
development assistance if all of the
following three requirements are
fulfilled:
Provided by public sector
Intended to promote economic
development and welfare,
Concessional in character, involving
at least a grant element of 25%.
Lending on concessional terms is
defined as “concessional loan/debt”.
In other words, the recipient receives
financing on terms more favorable than
the market, in the form of either lower
interest rates or longer maturity longer
or both.
Turkey lent Egypt in 2012 her first
concessional loan that qualified as
official development assistance under
a Protocol signed in September 2012
between the Turkish Undersecretariat
of Treasury and the Egyptian Ministry
of Finance, as two countries of longstanding historical, cultural and friendly
ties.
The said Protocol provided for a loan of
up to 1 billion USD to Egypt to stimulate
economic growth and development
of Egypt through financing public
infrastructure projects.
The concession rate of the loan was
28.95% which would meet the “minimum
grant element of 25%” as prescribed
by OECD-DAC. The first tranche of
500 million USD of the loan was made
available in late 2012, whereas the
second tranche is to be released in 2013.
1.C.1. Programme Assistance, Technical Cooperation and Imputed
Student Costs
Technical cooperation refers
to strengthening the capacities
and effectiveness of individuals,
organizations and institutions through
transfer of ideas, technologies,
knowledge and skills to foster
development in partner countries. In
addition to transfer of knowledge
and skills, it does intend to create an
enabling environment to disseminate
knowledge and skills so transferred. In
essence, it means helping the recipients
improve their functioning through selfhelp. Technical cooperation relies on
short, medium and long term provision
of expertise, training, advice, research
and equipment; and involves “hard”
cooperation, i.e. engineering/supervision
and technical feasibility studies as well
as “soft” cooperation, i.e. training and
management advice.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of
technical cooperation activities:
Scholarships in secondary and higher
education to students from developing
countries
Training courses designed to build
institutional capacities, vocational skills,
Equipment, materials and supplies in
training courses
Assignment/secondment of trainers,
instructors
Printed materials for capacity
development
Events of intellectual activity such as
seminars, symposia,
Contests, e.g. essay writing, Mathematics
Olympics
Other similar activities designed to
enhance capacity.

Programme Assistance has two basic
components, namely, investment projects
which involve all activities designed to
enhance physical capital of the recipient
country and associated technical
cooperation, and programming aid which
covers support to budget and balance
of payments, funding for fixtures and
commodities and sectoral assistance.
The following represent typical activities
under Programme Assistance:
Improve physical infrastructure for
education through building or repairing
schools, supplying desks, computers and
other school materials
Operate universities, hospitals
Supply of residential potable water
through construction of water wells,
water treatment plants
Provide funding support to the
agricultural development budget of the
recipient country.
Programme Assistance, Technical
Cooperation and Imputed Student Costs
may be supported by sectoral breakdown.
Turkish assistance in 2012 under these
categories and sectors is non-exhaustively
described in the following sections.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES SECTOR
EDUCATION
Turkey engages in many activities to
introduce innovation in educational
systems of developing countries and
help them attain world standards.
Major objectives in this field include
educational system reforms, modernizing
educational institutions and materials
in line with technological advances,
enhancing teachers’ professional
knowledge and skills, and improving
learning and teaching processes through
reforming school administration. In
addition, access for all to primary
education represents the cornerstones
of educational policies and strategies
implemented.
Turkey continued in 2012, as she did
in previous years, to implement such
quality projects as would respond
to local needs and gaps, e.g. building
modern schools and renovating older
ones, setting up language laboratories,

IMPUTED STUDENT COSTS
The “Grand Student Project” was
initiated in 1992 and implemented
through 2010 under the Ministry
of National Education to provide
government scholarships in higher
education to students from Turkic
Republics and Turkic and Relative
Communities.
In the past two decades, 40,000 students
from countries and communities were
awarded scholarships in higher education
in Turkey under the “Grand Student
Project” and bilateral agreements.
In 2012 the scholarship programme
was taken over by the Presidency
of Turks Living Abroad and Relative
Communities and the Assessment Board
for International Students.
Considering the importance of
internationalization in higher education,
a comprehensive scholarship programme
named “Turkish Scholarships” consisting
of scholarship programs of various levels
and categories was established in 2011
through consultation with 21 ministries,
116 Turkish universities and 56 Turkish
missions. The basic principles adopted
for the programme were “rigorous
selection, high quality education and
effective post-education relations”.
The Turkish Scholarships programme
provided the opportunity to file
applications through Internet, thus
making it accessible to more students
around the world.
The online application system multiplied
the overall applications in a short time
exceeding 45,000 which earlier stood at
8,000 on average annually.
Scholarships were diversified
depending on the needs and regions,
offering educational departments and
programmes considering the needs of
recipient countries and the capacity and
priorities of Turkey.
The selection process involved local
interviews with applicants, with
interviewer panels of academicians and
specialists having interviewed more
than 10,000 short-listed applicants at 70
venues in 49 countries in 2012.
Individual scholarship grants were raised
by 50% to 80% by educational levels.
Through coordination and awareness
raising efforts with relevant domestic
agencies and universities, bureaucratic
processes such as obtaining student
certification, residence permits etc. and
other procedures were simplified and
rationalized.
Accommodation was improved and
diversified for international students. As
an example, postgraduate students were
subsidized for dormitories. Students
were covered under the “universal health
insurance” so that all would benefit
healthcare.
The Ministry of National Education and
the Presidency of Turks Living Abroad
and Relative Communities implemented
the following actions in 2012:
322 teachers were deployed to
13 countries including Tunisia, Iran,
Lebanon, Libya, Afghanistan, Georgia,
Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Moldova and
Tajikistan.
1,171 students were awarded
scholarships by own governments
through the scholarship funds made
available by the Turkish government.
Under the Turkish Scholarships,
4,715 students from ODA recipients
received education in Turkey with 65
students in Turkish language courses at
Turkish Teaching Center (TOMER), 169
associate level, 3,324 at bachelor’s level,
664 at master’s level, 489 at doctoral
level and 4 in integrated doctoral
programmes. In addition, 233 students
from other communities received
education in Turkey.

WATER AND SANITATION
As a result of the rapid increase in
the world population and continuous
expansion of the global economy,
pressures on natural resources build
up enormously and key environmental
indicators deteriorate gradually due to
overconsumption.
If necessary measures are not taken in
good time, the eco-system of our world
will be disrupted and ultimately make it
uninhabitable.
The desertification and drought which
directly threaten an area of more than
4 billion hectares and lives of 1.2 billion
people in 110 countries are not just
an environmental problem, but also
an adverse influence on economy and
development.
Fresh water is scarce on the Earth: 97.5%
of the entire body of water consists of
salt water in seas and oceans; while only
the remaining 2.5% is fresh water.
One third of the world population does
not have adequate fresh water sources.
We should easily infer that water is not
a cheap and easily accessible commodity.
In this context, Turkey carries out
projects and programmes for Access to
Fresh Water, with examples cited in the
following section.

Comoros
The heavy rainfall on Comoros
Islands on 24-29 April 2012 caused
losses of life and property in the
capital Moroni and two other islands.
The water pumping station providing
potable and non-potable water to
nearly 70% of the capital’s population
became dysfunctional. Turkey provides
rehabilitation for Vouvoni Water
Pumping Station.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE
The more such principles as political
representation, participation,
accountability, effective civil society,
rule of law and decentralized
administration take place in the society
and political field in a developing
country, the easier that country adapts
itself to the developments in today’s
world. In this regard, Turkey attaches
great importance mainly to activities
regarding human resources in order to
make developing countries successful
in said areas. Turkish public servants
share their experience sincerely with the
people of developing countries through
long term programmes.
Under the leadership of OECD member
states, tax centers were established in
order to provide an experience sharing
forum in taxation for senior tax officers
of new independent states emerging
after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc
and the Soviet Union for the purpose of
providing such countries with technical
knowledge assistance during their
transition to market economy.
Turkey provides cash and in kind
contributions to the OECD Multilateral
Tax Center and to date, 4,375 senior
tax officers from 47 different countries,
particularly from Turkic Republics,
attended the seminars held in OECD
Ankara Multilateral Tax Center active
since 1993.
The attention attracted by the “Foreign
Young Diplomats Training Programme”
organized annually in the past 20 years
gradually increases every day. One
diplomat from each of 77 countries in
Caucasia, Central Asia, Balkans, Middle
East, Far East, Latin America and Africa
attended the eighth program in 2012.
Having provided training to nearly 800
foreign diplomats so far, the program
has a special place to the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs of recipient countries.
From 1993 to date, 4,375 senior tax officers
from 47 countries, particularly from Turkic
Republics, attended the seminars held in OECD
Ankara Multilateral Tax Center.
Another programme assistance
implemented by Turkey is the
“International Police Training
Cooperation Project” which aims to
strengthen relationships between
police organizations of countries
which cooperate with Turkey with
regard to security, particularly to
ensure coordination and cooperation
between police training institutions,
disseminate international standards in
policing applications, and developing
the understanding of cooperative fight
against regional security problems.

ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure services should be
provided in the best way to foster
economic development. While such
services do not directly increase total
production, they are the driver of
development. Economic infrastructure is
grouped under five subsectors:
TRANSPORT AND WAREHOUSING
Infrastructure investments underlie
transportation services. High quality
transportation services facilitate
economic activities and reduce costs.
At this point, the presence and capacity
of qualified human resources who
will carry out the services becomes
more of an issue. Examples of projects
implemented in 2012 for transport and
warehousing include the following:
Master Plan was drawn up for Bhutan
Roads.
Senegal, Burkina Faso, Moldova,
Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ethiopia and
Egypt and 15 students from Somalia
were given training in Turkey on
transportation infrastructure.
Improvement of Mogadishu inner city
roads is in progress in Somalia.
Under Mogadishu Airport Rehabilitation
Project, VOR device was installed in
the airport, and the calibration test was
completed and the system was made
technically ready.
Thus, both the capacity was built in
the field of civil aviation and flights
were made more regular. Two Somalian
engineers completed their graduate
studies in Turkey for the operation and
maintenance of devices.
21 experts from Turkey were deployed
in Somalia, Afghanistan and Libya within
the scope of experience sharing.
A bridge crossing was constructed
between Mirwais and Darul Aman Palace
in Afghanistan.
3 bridges destroyed by the flood disaster
were rebuilt in Novi Pazar, Serbia.
Landscaping was made in Ankara Avenue
in Mongolia. Mısır’dan 34 uzmana ve
Somali’den 15 öğrenciye Türkiye’de
ulaştırma altyapılarıyla ilgili eğitim
verilmiştir.

strengthening the telecommunication
systems of developing countries
through equipment support to news
agencies, training of media members,
establishment of news studios,
renewal of studio settings, provision of
transmitters, provision of transmitter
equipment and assembly of transmitters
in communication and information
subsector.

PRODUCTION SECTORS
AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK
Agricultural activities underlie nutrition
so essential to sustaining life. Soil has
always been an indispensable resource
for human beings since the onset of
sedentary life. Today, agriculture has
an important role in the process of
industrialization to foster economic
prosperity of a country. Turkey
continues to increase agricultural
experience through innovative works
implemented by the Ministry of Food,
Agriculture and Livestock, and shares her
experience with developing countries.
Examples of agricultural assistance
programmes and projects implemented
in 2012 include the following:
An agricultural storage of 500 tons was
built in Wardak Province in Afghanistan
and farmers in the region were provided
training for 10 days. At the end of
training, each of 900 farmers was given a
disinfection machine, pruning saw, large
and small pruning scissors. Furthermore,
810 farmers were trained in cattle
breeding, and Afghan veterinarians were
trained on animal diseases for 4 months
in Turkey. A milk collection and cooling
center with a capacity of 6 tons/day
was built in Wardak province. In
cooperation with the University of
Faisalabad, 300 goats were distributed
to 50 families living in Pakistan villages.
The project implemented under the
name of “Breeding of Beetal Goat for
Reducing Poverty and Strengthening
Rural Women” is expected to provide
benefits to 1,500 people at the end of a
5-year period.
Olive farming was supported in
Montenegro and Palestine, with 35
olive harvesting machines donated to
Palestine.
An apiculture project was implemented
in Azerbaijan and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Azerbaijan was donated 1,000 bee
colonies, and Bosnia-Herzegovina was
donated 1,220 hives, 1,220 swarms, a van
for migratory beekeeping, machinery and
equipment for such apiculture works
as honey extraction and pollen cleaning
under the project to be utilized by 80
farmer families.
Projects were implemented in Albania
and Azerbaijan to support organic
agriculture and 750 kg of wheat suitable
for seeding was donated to Azerbaijan.
Material and equipment support was
given to the hydrochemistry laboratory
of Aquaculture Research Center
operating in Albania University of Tirana,

1.C.2. Emergency and Humanitarian Aid
Emergency aid refers to aid provided
in situations where own resources of a
country are insufficient in emergencies
arising from extraordinary events
resulting in loss of lives and/or loss of
crops or livestock. Emergency aid is
typically provided in such situations as
natural disasters, war or civil unrest, food
shortage arising from the loss of crops
due to drought and disease.
Emergency aid further includes those
provided to prevent diseases, given to
asylum seekers under extraordinary
conditions, to eliminate problems arising
from natural disasters, and aid given for
measures which reduce damages during
disasters.
Turkish emergency aid is categorized in two
subsections: aid for Syrian guests and emergency
aid given due to wars, conflicts and natural
disasters. Turkish emergency aid in 2012
exceeded 1 billion USD by an increase of 300%
on the previous year.

Assistance to Syrian Guests
Turkey has effectively implemented an
“open-door policy” for Syrians who have
left their country since April 2011 after
the onset of civil unrest, with tens of
thousands of Syrians entering the Turkish
territory. The Disaster and Emergency
Management Presidency (AFAD)
established 14 tent cities with 5 in Hatay
(Altınozu-1, Altınozu-2, Yayladagi-1,
Yayladagi-2, Apaydin), 2 in Sanliurfa
(Ceylanpinar, Akcakale), 3 in Gaziantep
(Islahiye, Karkamıs, Nizip) and 1 in each of
the provinces Kahramanmaras, Osmaniye,
Adıyaman and Adana and 3 container
cities with 1 in each of the provinces
Kilis, Sanliurfa and Gaziantep for Syrian
citizens. Turkey hosted 156,853 Syrians
together with injuries and their hospital
attendants with the following totals
by province: 12,897 in Hatay, 26,157
in Gaziantep, 13,433 in Kilis, 61,112 in
Sanliurfa, 16,935 in Kahramanmaras, 8,297
in Osmaniye, 9,163 in Adiyaman, and
8,859 in Adana.
While the management of similar camps
in Lebanon and Jordan was undertaken by
the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR), needs of said
Syrian guests in the camps in Turkey
were met by Turkey for a period of more
than one year. The sum of aid made to
Syrian guests for this purpose in 2012
was estimated at 979.39 million. 41,239
personnel from 26 professional groups
deployed for Syrian guests worked in
the said provinces. In addition to 25,239
police officers, a wide variety of human
resources from Arabic speaking teachers
to such security officers as gendarmerie
soldiers, from sociologists to engineers,
from translators deployed by provincial
muftis to Turkish Red Crescent teams
worked in the region.
Aid to Syrian guests in 2012 totaled
980 million USD.
23,467 students received education in
361 classrooms in 24 schools under. 2,870
children received preschool education. 57
Turkish and 6 Arabic speaking teachers
were deployed in preschools and the
total number of teachers reached 860,
with 228 Turkish and 632 Arabic speaking
teachers. Additionally, 24,364 people
were trained in 107 course activities
ranging from literacy to vocational
training.
For health care services, 7,568 surgical
operations were made in 2012 bringing
the total of surgical operations to 54,922.
Further 1,776 babies were delivered
while 532,346 medical examinations were
conducted at polyclinics.

Emergency Aid due to Armed Conflicts and
Natural Disasters
African countries, particularly Somalia
faced the threat of drought due to
climate changes. On the other hand,
Turkey stood with her neighbor after the
earthquake in Iran while she endeavored
to heal the wounds of flood disaster in
Pakistan.
Additionally, Turkey was not indifferent
to the events in Myanmar and helped
people in hard times.
Visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Davutoğlu to Arakan – Myanmar
SOMALIA
Somalia was the country most affected
by the drought in the Horn of Africa
in 2011. While 61% of the people was
affected by this disaster, the United
Nations declared that about two million
children remained undernourished in
the region and that the total number of
people affected by the drought was 10
million. Nearly 260,000 people lost their
lives with half children under 5 years of
age, and thousands of people who left
their livelihood due to loss of livestock,
damage to agricultural fields sought
refuge in Dadaab Camp in the south of
Kenya. However, under horrible camp
conditions many were malnourished,
infected with terminal diseases needed
emergency treatment. Human rights
organizations warned that women in the
camps were assaulted and the aid was
mismanaged by camp administrators.
On the other hand,
security problems
experience due
to the civil war
since 1988 limit the
effectiveness of aid
efforts and prevent the establishment of a
stable government in the country.
Nevertheless, Turkey, with all of its public
entities as well as with its NGOs, assisted
the people of Somalia, delivering public aid
of 47.54 million USD in 2012.
Examples of the aid made include the
following:
16 personnel including 3 experts, 2 family
physicians, 11 paramedics serve in the field
hospital constructed by Turkey in Dikfer
region of Mogadishu. Health care teams
intervene in any emergencies other than
gunshot injuries. 500 polyclinic patients are
examined daily, and laboratory and x-ray
services are provided. An average of 15
surgical operations is conducted daily with
5 under general anesthesia, and 8-10 under
local anesthesia. In Jazire Life Camp, 150
patients are examined every day, and those
who have a serious condition, and require
an advanced examination and treatment
are evacuated to Turkey.

1.C.3. Peace Building
According to OECD, the concept of
“peace-building” covers all the activities
intended to contribute to the building
of a peace culture. The term of “peacebuilding” became an expression covering
the preventive diplomacy, peace building
and protection policies in 1992 through
the peace agenda of the UN and it has
been improved among practitioners.
Being aware of its strategic position,
importance and responsibilities, Turkey is
determined to actively contribute to the
reduction of tensions and resolution of
crises.
Turkish Armed Forces is the major
agency involved in Turkish peace-building
efforts in two categories namely military
security and observer missions.
The developments in Caucasia, Middle
East and Balkans after the end of the
cold war dramatically affected the global
peace. Peace and tranquility to be built in
these regions will have a positive effect
on the global peace. For this purpose,
Turkey has increasingly concentrated on
activities of cooperation in education,
partnership programmes for peace,
organization of multinational peace
forces and contribution to peacebuilding operations.
Turkish peace-building activities
continued in 2012 in many countries,
particularly in Afghanistan, BosniaHerzegovina, Kosovo and Lebanon.
Turkish contribution to peace-building
efforts was estimated at 77.31 million
USD in 2011, and 87.24 million USD in
2012.

Turkey took over Kabul Regional
Command, one of six regional
commands of ISAF Operation in
Afghanistan, on 01 November 2009. The
term was extended for periods of one
year.
Turkey led the establishment of
the South-Eastern Europe Brigade
Multinational Peace Force, to which
Albania, Bulgaria, Italy, Macedonia,
Romania and Greece also contributed, in
order to ensure the sustainability of the
regional security and stability in Balkans.
Turkish Armed Forces provided
training to armed forces personnel
of Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan,
Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil,
Morocco, Georgia, Iran, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon,
Macedonia, Mongolia, Mauritania,
Pakistan, Senegal, Serbia, Tunisia,
Turkmenistan and Ukraine in 2012 in the
Partnership for Peace Training Center.
ATATÜRK AND WORLD PEACE
One of the most important goals in the 89-year period as from the establishment of
the Republic of Turkey has been to contribute to world peace. At this point, it should
be certainly reminded that the Great Leader Atatürk and the founder generation
of the Republic spent most of their lives in battle fields and personally witnessed
the bloodshed. The statement “Peace at home, peace in the world”, as the clearest
expression of Turkey’s goal of ensuring world peace, was pronounced as the result of
such experience.

1.C.4. Asylum Seekers
The reporting category of Asylum
Seekers includes the costs of hosting
for the first 12 months and of moving
to third countries incurred by donor
countries on account of persons who
arrive from developing countries and
reside in the donor country under the
status of refugee or asylum seeker.
While the terms refugee and asylum
seeker are often used interchangeably,
they indeed refer to different concepts.
The reference text of international
literature, the Geneva Convention
relating to the Status of Refugees of 28
July 1951, defines in Article 1 a refugee
as a person who “owing to well-founded
fear of being persecuted for reasons of
race, religion, nationality, membership
of a particular social group or political
opinion, is outside the country of his
nationality and is unable or, owing to
such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of
the protection of that country”.
An asylum seeker on the other hand
is a person who seeks international
protection as a refugee but is not yet
granted an official status as such.
The latter term usually denotes the
status of a person who has filed an
application for refugee status and
is pending decision by the relevant
government or the United Nations High
Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR).
Turkey, due to territorial limitation,
refers to a person who has newly
arrived and filed an application as an
“applicant for asylum” and following the
completion of all procedures an “asylum
seeker”. In this context, assistance
to asylum seekers includes such cost
items as mission expenses of teams
assigned to process the applications of
asylum seekers (applicants), provision of
education to children of asylum seekers,
costs of operating the hosting centers,
aid in the form of cash, health, housing,
clothing and heating to asylum seekers,
and travel costs for their return to own
or third countries. Turkey received
75,969 persons from various countries in
2012, with 70,501 being asylum seekers
from developing countries for whom
Turkish expenditures totaled 110.80
million USD.
Many people from Afghanistan, Iraq and
Somalia who have left own countries
for economic, political and cultural
reasons for Turkey live as “temporary
asylum seekers” in Turkey. While
very few enter Turkish territory with
passports, a large majority enter illegally.
Syrians who entered Turkish territory
in large numbers were named “guests”
and related costs were classified as
emergency aid. Syrians processed and
classified as “asylum seeker” by the
Turkish National Police stood at 7,908.
Iran, then moved onto Turkey due to
economic and political reasons. Afghan
arrivals in official records stood at
13,425 in 2012, while the same figure
was 7,501 in 2011.
Arrivals in Turkey from Iraq, Syria,
Palestine and recently Myanmar
increased significantly due to political
instability and life-threatening
circumstances in the origin countries.
A large majority of arrivals are illegal
entrants, e.g. 6,120 of 6,691 arrivals from
Myanmar.
The largest group of asylum seekers are
Afghan people who mostly fled their
country in the 1980s following the
Soviet invasion and sought asylum in

Countries of Origins of Illegal Migrants to Turkey
Development assistance reporting to
OECD includes only the first 12 months
of asylum seekers in the host country.
However, differing interpretations do
exist for the first 12 months; for example
Belgium, France, Portugal and United
Kingdom start that period from the
date of entry of an asylum seeker into
their territory, while Canada, Germany
and USA do so from the date when the
refugee status is granted. This excludes
those asylum seekers pending decision
on their application.
Another practice covers both methods:
Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Japan,
Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and
Switzerland start the 12-month period
from the date of filing for asylum and
extend beyond the final decision on
the refugee status. Costing however
varies by country depending on the time
before or after receiving the asylum
application and whether the application
is granted.

1.C.5. Administrative Costs
Administrative costs refer to all staff,
administrative and logistic expenditures
incurred by agencies, either through
central, field or foreign units, to carry
out their assistance activities.
Turkish administrative costs for 2012
were estimated at 90.44 million USD
accounting for 3.57% of Turkish ODA in
2012. Declining rates of administrative
costs also indicate that Turkish ODA
efficiency have increased in time.

1.D.2. Development Assistance by Non-governmental Organizations
Human beings engage in various
struggles as an inevitable result of living
together. It is of essential importance
that feeling, seeing and acting jointly
lead to success in such efforts. Free
people who come together for certain
purposes combine their energies to
common ends and lay the democratic
groundwork to have the final say for
their future. These fora are named civil
society in general and chamber, society,
foundation, union, interest group or
initiative in particular.
In line with the recent Turkish foreign
policy, Turkish NGOs, deeply rooted
in centuries of charitable foundations
tradition, play a significant role in
Turkish development assistance in
a multitude of geographies across
the globe. Turkish NGOs engage in
assistance activities of accommodation,
health, clothing, food in situations of
humanitarian crisis as well as post-crisis
activities of education, vocational
training, cultural and health aid etc. to
heal disaster victims.
Assistance by Turkish nongovernmental organizations was first
reported in 2005, standing at 199.52
million USD in 2011 and went down
to 111.65 million USD by a loss of
44% year on year.
On the other hand, Turkish public
entities provided 39.43 million USD
of funds to NGOs. The said funds
on top of NGOs’ own funds meant
a total of 151.08 million USD of
assistance fielded by our NGOs.
Assistance by NGOs in 2012 was
classified as 89.10 million USD in
technical cooperation and programme
assistance, 54.80 million USD in
emergency and humanitarian aid, and
7.18 million USD in administrative
costs.

Africa is the leading recipient of NGO
assistance, with Somalia, Sudan and
Niger leading recipients in 2012 as in
earlier years. Assistance engagement by
Turkish NGOs is welcomed across the
world serving as a standing proof of
altruism of Turkish people.
The recent developments in Syria
causing distress and dislocation to many
people triggered Turkish NGOs into
action to provide humanitarian aid.
Pakistan and Bangladesh were similarly
fields of action by Turkish NGOs on
account of natural disasters on one side,
and political and religious instability on
the other.

Years of armed conflicts in many
countries and adverse climate pose grave
difficulties for human living conditions
and serious obstacles to development in
Africa. Accordingly, NGOs engaging in
Africa concentrate on projects to ease
daily human life, including mainly those
on food aid, water supply and health.
Food aid is usually delivered by setting
up soup kitchens, free delivery of hot
meals, distributing sacrifice shares and
food packages.
On the other hand, the decline in
water sources further reduces fresh,
potable water reserves posing a global
threat. Keen on fostering water sources
vitally important for environmental
sustainability, NGOs implemented
significant projects in Africa and Middle
East countries, Bangladesh, Pakistan
and Afghanistan. A large part of such
projects involve drilling of many water
wells of medium-to-deep range.
NGOs also conducted large scale health
screening and surgical operations in
recipient countries, including cataract,
hernia, birth, cancer, brain surgery,
orthopedic and orthodontic, as well
as supply of medicines and medical
supplies. Assistance was also provided
for renovation and repair of hospitals
and supply of medical equipment.
Training was delivered to many health
staff including mainly physicians. The
following section gives examples of
busiest Turkish NGOs.

2. TURKISH OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE 2012 BY REGION AND COUNTRY
2.A. BREAKDOWN BY REGION
Turkish bilateral official development
assistance in 2012 reached 2,422.5 million
USD almost doubling the 1,226.21 million
USD reported in 2011. Turkish 2012
figure represented a 95% increase on
2011, with the 2011 figure being a 33%
increase on the previous year. Syrian
guests as described in the emergency aid
section definitely accounted for a major
part of such significant increase recently
in Turkish bilateral ODA. Accordingly,
the Middle East was the largest recipient
of Turkish bilateral ODA in 2012
followed by Africa, which ranked third
in 2011.
South and Central Asia which ranked
first in 2011 receded to the third largest
recipient at 136 million USD although
the assistance did not notably decrease
from 2011 to 2012.
The Middle East, as the largest recipient
region, received 1.124,24 million USD
of Turkish bilateral ODA, followed by
Africa at 749.47 million USD. Balkans and
East Europe received 87.83 million USD.
Please see Chart 24 for the distribution
of Turkish bilateral development
assistance.

2.B. BREAKDOWN BY COUNTRY
Syria was the largest recipient of Turkish
bilateral ODA in 2012 at 1,019.93 million
USD, largely on account of Syrian guests
who fled their country in large numbers
from March 2011 in the wake of civil
unrest triggered by the so-called “Arab
Spring”.
Egypt was the second largest recipient
of assistance in 2012 with 503.92 million
USD in aid, 500 million USD of which
was a concessional loan made available
by Turkey to Egypt.
Turkey continued in 2012 to support
the reconstruction of Afghanistan by
assistance amounting to 151.75 million
USD making her the third largest
recipient.
A large part of 105.51 million USD of
Turkish assistance to Kyrgyzstan was
the funding support to Turkish-Kyrgyz
Manas University, as well as project
funding to public sector projects
implemented by Kyrgyz public entities.
Turkey extended her helping hand, as
she always did, to human beings trying to
survive the difficult conditions in Africa
including mainly Somalia and Sudan.

2.C. ASSISTANCE TO LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) is
a definition introduced by the United
Nations in 1971. The definition refers
to a country which has fundamental
structural challenges to development. To
qualify as an LDC, a country should meet
all three of the following criteria:
Per capita income criterion, based
on a three-year average estimate of the
gross national income per capita, with a
threshold of 992 USD for possible cases
of addition to the list, and a threshold
of 1,190 USD for graduation from LDC
status;
Human assets criterion, involving a
composite index based on indicators
of nutrition, health, life expectancy,
education and adult literacy ratio;
Economic vulnerability criterion,
involving a composite index based on
indicators of instability of agricultural
production and exports of goods and
services, share of manufacturing and
services in the economy, merchandise
export concentration, and other
shortages in economic activity.
A further threshold of 75 million
population was introduced; and the
recent ranking done in the year 2012
included 49 LDCs in the list (see
Table 9). To be included in the list, a
country should qualify all three criteria
above, and to graduate out of the status,
move above the threshold in at least
two of the criteria. Only three countries
have so far graduated from LDC status:
Botswana in December 1994, Cape
Verde in December 2007, and Maldives in
January 2011.
A large majority of LDCs are 35 African
countries, with the rest distributed as
8 in Asia, 5 in the Pacific region and 1
in the Americas (Haiti). Most LDCs are
either island states or land-locked states.
Despite the threshold of 75 million of
population, 10.7% (614 million) of the
global population live in LDCs, whereas
only 0.5% of the global product comes
from LDCs.

OFFICE FOR COORDINATING
SYRIAN GUEST AFFAIRS
Turkey has effectively implemented
an “open-door policy” for Syrians who
have left their country since April 2011
after the onset of civil unrest, with
tens of thousands of Syrians entering
the Turkish territory. The emergency
was effectively responded by a fullscale mobilization of the Turkish
public administration apparatus with
governorships, municipalities, AFAD,
Ministries of Health, Finance, Foreign
Affairs, Interior, Environment and
Urbanization, National Education, Family
and Social Policies, Food, Agriculture
and Livestock, Turkish Armed Forces,
TOKI, Department of Religious Affairs
and Turkish Red Crescent with central
and field units devoting a significant part
of their resources to the effort, all staff
working around the clock. The data on
the highly fluid situation were reported
to AFAD Provincial Directorates. All
these efforts were collectively recorded
under the Office for Coordinating
Syrian Guest Affairs.

OF TURKS LIVING ABROAD AND
RELATIVE COMMUNITIES
The “Grand Student Project” initiated
in 1992 and implemented by the
Ministry of National Education offered
scholarships to tens of thousands of
overseas students for education in
Turkey. Initially the project was designed
to enhance human resources in the
newly independent Turkic Republics,
thus strengthen brotherly relations with
the Turkish world; now Turkey hosts
students from more than 150 countries
today.
Students graduating associate,
bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral
programs are equipped to rise to notable
positions in their own countries.
The Grand Student Project implemented
so by the Ministry of National Education
was administered under a new title of
“Turkish Scholarships” in its 20th year in
2012 by the Presidency of Turks Living
Abroad and Relative Communities.
Awarded students are paid a monthly
stipend in addition to scholarship
subsidy in accommodation, transport,
stationery, clothing and residence
permits. They enjoy free language
courses and health services.

4. OECD DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE 2012 BY DONOR COUNTRY
4.A. OVERALL ASSESSMENT
Official development assistance by
donors had a rising trend through
2010, then fell by 4% in real terms in
2012, following a 2% fall in 2011. The
continuing financial crisis and euro zone
turmoil has led several governments to
tighten their budgets, which has had a
direct impact on development aid. There
is also a noticeable shift in aid allocations
away from the poorest countries and
towards middle-income countries.
However, on the basis of the DAC
Survey on Donors’ Forward Spending
Plans, a moderate recovery in aid levels is
expected in 2013.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría
expressed concern over this trend: “It is
worrying that budgetary duress in our
member countries has led to a second
successive fall in total aid, but I take
heart from the fact that, in spite of
the crisis, nine countries still managed
to increase their aid. As we approach
the 2015 deadline for achieving the
Millennium Development Goals, I hope
that the trend in aid away from the
poorest countries will be reversed. This
is essential if aid is to play its part in
helping achieve the Goals.”
According to preliminary data, in 2012,
members of the Development Assistance
Committee (DAC) of the OECD
provided 125.6 billion USD in net official
development assistance, representing
0.29 per cent of their combined gross
national income (GNI), a 4.0% drop in
real terms compared to 2011.
Since 2010, the year it reached its
peak, ODA has fallen by 6.0% in real
terms. Excluding 2007, which saw
the end of exceptional debt relief
operations, the fall in 2012 is the largest
since 1997. This is also the first time
since 1996-97 that aid has fallen in two
successive years.
Data for 2012 show that although
total net ODA fell, aid for core bilateral
projects and programmes (i.e. excluding
debt relief grants and humanitarian aid)
rose by 2.0% in real terms; by contrast
core contributions to multilateral
institutions fell by 7.1%.
Bilateral aid to sub-Saharan Africa was
26.2 billion USD, representing a fall of
7.9 % in real terms compared to 2011.
Aid to the African continent fell by
9.9% to 28.9 billion USD, following
exceptional support to some countries
in North Africa after the “Arab Spring”
in 2011.
Bilateral net ODA to the group of
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) also
fell by 12.8% in real terms to about 26
billion USD.

4.B. DONOR PERFORMANCE
The largest donors, by volume, were
the United States, the United Kingdom,
Germany, France and Japan. Denmark,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway
and Sweden continued to exceed the
United Nations’ ODA target of 0.7%
of GNI. Net ODA rose in real terms in
nine countries, with the largest increases
recorded in Australia, Austria, Iceland
(which joined the DAC in 2013), Korea
and Luxembourg. By contrast net ODA
fell in fifteen countries, with the largest
cuts recorded in Spain, Italy, Greece and
Portugal, the countries most affected by
the euro zone crisis. The United States
continued to be the largest donor by
volume with net ODA flows amounting
to 30.5 billion USD in 2012, representing
a fall of 2.8% in real terms compared to
2011. US ODA as a share of GNI also fell
from 0.20% in 2011 to 0.19% in 2012.
The fall was mainly due to a reduction
in bilateral net debt relief from 1.1
billion USD in 2011 to 56.3 million USD
in 2012. However, US contributions to
international organizations reached a
historic high of 4.9 billion USD (+30.0%
in real terms compared to 2011). In 2012,
US bilateral aid to sub-Saharan Africa
fell to 8.8 billion USD (4.5% in real terms
compared to 2011); however, excluding
debt relief it rose by 7.2%.
ODA from the fifteen EU countries
that are DAC members was 63.7 billion
USD in 2012, representing a fall of 7.4%
compared to 2011. As a share of their
combined GNI, ODA fell from 0.44% in
2011 to 0.42% in 2012.
ODA rose or fell in DAC EU countries
as follows:
Austria (+6.1%) due to debt relief
operations with sub-Saharan Africa;
Belgium (-13.0%) reflecting overall cuts
in its aid budget;
Denmark (-1.8%) reflecting a reduction
in bilateral grants;
Finland (-0.4%)
France (-1.8%)
Germany (-0.7%) due to reduced
contributions to multilateral institutions;
Greece (-17.0%) due to austerity
measures;
Ireland (-5.8%) due to fiscal constraints
leading to cuts in its aid budget;
Luxembourg (+9.8%) reflecting an
increase in bilateral grants;
Netherlands (-6.6%) due to overall cuts
in its aid budget;
Portugal (-13.1%) due to the
unprecedented financial constraints leading
to cuts in its budget;
Spain (-49.7%) due to the financial crisis;
Sweden (-3.4%) due to reduced capital
subscriptions to international organizations,
although cash disbursements to these
organizations increased;
United Kingdom (-2.2%) reflecting firm
budget allocations were put into place to
ensure that the government spent an ODA
volume of 0.56% of GNI in 2012 and 0.7%
from 2013 onwards.
Italy (-34.7%) due to lower levels of
aid to refugees arriving from North Africa
and reduced debt relief grants compared to
2011; however, the Italian government has
made a firm commitment to increase ODA
allocations in order to reach 0.15-0.16% of
GNI in 2013;
In 2012, total net ODA by the 27
EU member states was 64.9 billion USD,
representing 0.39% of their combined GNI.
Net ODA rose or fell in other DAC
countries as follows:
Other donor countries reported preliminary
ODA figures as follows:
Australia (+9.1%) to meet its
international commitments to scale up aid in
order to reach 0.5% ODA/GNI in 2016-17.
Czech Republic (-4.2%): due mainly to
lower contributions to the EU;
Canada (+4.1%) due to an increase in
debt relief and its continued commitment to
major regional initiatives;
Iceland (+5.7%) reflecting the overall
scaling up of its aid programme;
Japan (-2.1%) due to a fall in bilateral
grants and reduced contributions to
international organizations;
Korea (+17.6%) due to the overall
scaling up of its aid to achieve an ODA/GNI
ratio of 0.25% by 2015;
New Zealand (+3.0%) reflecting the
overall scaling up of its aid to reach an ODA
level of $NZ 600 million;
Norway (+0.4%);
Switzerland (+4.5%): reflecting the
overall scaling up of its aid to reach 0.5% of
GNI by 2015.
Estonia (-2.7%): due to lower
contributions to the EU;
Hungary (-7.5%): due to the lower
disbursements to the EU and a decrease in
bilateral aid;
Israel (-10.1%): due to a reduction in
bilateral ODA;
Poland (+12.4%): which increased its
bilateral ODA;
Slovak Republic (-3.5%);
Slovenia (-2.4%);
Turkey (+98.7%): reflecting help to a
large number of refugees arriving from Syria
and increased support to North African
countries following the Arab Spring;
United Arab Emirates (+30.6%): due to
the overall scaling up of its bilateral aid.
