Week 2:

EU Commission: 2024, Budget 2025, increase from $1.8 to 1.9 billion -> 5.5% increase

Germany: Budget proposal data only, no budget for 2025 has been voted on, proposed cuts from EUR 2.23 billion (2024) to EUR 1.04 billion (2025) ->53% decrease

UK: only data on overall ODA, 2025/2026: GBP 9.24 billion, 2024/2025 GBP 8.79 billion -> 5% increase, 2024/2025 ODA spending 0.5 of GNI: (p6) long-term decrease 0.3% in 2027 -> decrease by 60%. Note that there is no data on how ODA is going to be spent in terms of humanitarian vs non-humanitarian, we assume humanitarian is spent in the same manner as overall ODA.

Sweden: Budget 2024 (pdf p15), budget 2025 (pdf p12) We considered budget line "Humanitära insatser", which dropped from 2024 SEK 4.9 billion to SEK 4.49 billion (2025) ->8.3% decrease. Contributions to international organizations, some of which are humanitarian only (for example CERF), were not considered, but they were also reduced overall.

Japan: only overall ODA data: 2025 : +1.4 billion yen from FY2024 (p6), 2024 total ODA: 565 billion yen (p8) -> 0% increase.

Norway: We consider budget lines 150 "Humanitær bistand" which increased from NOK 4.3 billion to NOK 4.8 billion and budget line 153 "Flyktninger, fordrevne og vertssamfunn" which droped from NOK 2.7 billion to NOK 2.1 billion, combined we see a decrease by 3%.

France: We considered "Les dépenses consacrées à l’action d’urgence humanitaire et de stabilisation en sortie de crise devrait s’établir". Budget cuts (p9) from EUR 895 million in 2024 to EUR 500 million in 2025 ->44% decrease

Netherlands: We considered budget line "Humanitaire Hulp" (pdf p46) which dropped from EUR 594 million in 2024 to 474 million in 2025 (p46) -> 20% decrease.

Switzerland: We considered budget line Verpflichtungskredit Humanitäre Hilfe (p58 pdf) which increased from CHF 518.0 million in 2024 to CHF 568.9 million in 2025 -> 10% increase

Canada: Humanitarian budget 2023/2024 was at $609 million (p170), it was increased by $150 million in 2025 (p342) -> 25% increase

Saudi Arabia, UAE: We could not find any data, and assume contributions are stable

Week 3:

Slide 2,3,4: Based on UN OCHA FTS 2024 data, incoming funding,internal funding for pooled funds, local and national actor categorisation from FTS, with some small modifications by GTS, so some donor government entiries are not counted as national actors. Note that CBPF totals and local and national actor categorisation on Country based Pooled Funds DATA HUB can be different from FTS.

Slide 5: Data on Direct and funding through UN OCHA CBPFs is based on UN OCHA Data. Indirect funding esitmates are based on Grand Bargain self-reporting data from 2024 (covering the year 2023).

The basic assumption is that if an organization X, on average, allocated 20% of its expenses to local and national actors, we assume that 20% of donor contributions from Grand Bargain signatory governments to organization X were also channeled to local and national actors.

The methodology is outlined in more detail here and here.

For indirect flows, we used Grand Bargain self-reporting (our interpretation of UNICEF's reporting is as follows: We used the percentage calculated based on total self-reported amounts - 459 million + 379 million / 2.73 billion = 30.7%)

For CERF, we used Annual Report 2022 data, as outlined in OCHA's 2024 Grand Bargain self-reporting.

WFP's Grand Bargain self-reporting includes the cost of commodities (unlike other reports). Therefore, we approximated funding flows from WFP to local and national actors using CERF 2023 data.

For indirect flows where no data was available from Grand Bargain self-reporting, we used the global average of indirect flows from Grand Bargain signatory governments, based on available GB self-reporting data.
