Country page
Norway
Donor: DAC member
Norway gives aid rather than receiving it. Country pages are built around aid received: who funds what in the country, its crises and needs. So this page starts with the aid it gives; most of the other sources have nothing for a donor, so after it come only its economy and governance.
As a donor: the aid Norway gives
From the OECD's statistics on aid this country reports. Data only, no AI text.
Total aid by year
Period · 2016–2025 (provisional); net official development assistance (ODA), current USD
No cut of more than 10%: total aid fell 7% in 2024 and rose 5% in 2025 (provisional).

Largest recipient countries, 2024, including through multilaterals
Period · 2024; OECD CRS gross disbursements and OECD imputed multilateral aid, current USD millions
Ranked by the two together. Countries only: USD 1,736 m of USD 3,894 m in bilateral aid went to regions, groups of countries or was not allocated to one country. The multilateral part is the OECD's estimate: each organisation's spending in a country shared out in proportion to this donor's core contributions. Each name opens that country's page.

Aid by sector, 2024, including through multilaterals
Period · 2024; gross disbursements, current USD millions: bilateral USD 3,894 m (OECD CRS) and USD 1,036 m through multilateral organisations (estimated)
Ranked by the two together. The multilateral part is ONE's estimate, not the donor's choice: each organisation's spending by sector over three years, shared out in proportion to this donor's core contributions. It covers all of the donor's core contributions, so it can differ from the OECD's own estimate for countries in the card above, which counts spending in single countries only. Rest is administrative costs, refugees in the donor country and aid not allocated to a sector (CRS codes 910, 930 and 998), bilateral and multilateral together.

Who delivers the bilateral aid, 2024
Period · 2024; OECD CRS gross disbursements by channel of delivery, current USD millions
Bilateral aid only. Core contributions to multilateral organisations are in the total above, not here; aid earmarked through them counts as bilateral and shows as multilateral organisations (earmarked).

Norway's own figures, 2025 (NOK)
Period · 2025, with 2024 for comparison; disbursements in NOK millions
Largest recipient countries, 2025
Largest multilateral partners, 2025
Multilateral partners: core and earmarked funding together. Norway's own figures are gross disbursements, a year newer than the OECD's country and sector data; the table below sets the two totals side by side.

Norway's figures and the OECD's, side by side
Period · 2020–2025; Norway's disbursements in NOK and converted to USD, against the OECD's net ODA in USD
| Year | Norway, NOK bn | Norway, USD m | OECD net ODA, USD m | Difference, USD m | Capital to Norfund, USD m | Explained |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 39.5 | 4,201 | 4,196 | +6 | 199 | Yes |
| 2021 | 40.1 | 4,668 | 4,673 | -5 | 199 | Yes |
| 2022 | 49.6 | 5,154 | 5,161 | -8 | 280 | Yes |
| 2023 | 58.6 | 5,544 | 5,293 | +251 | 255 | Yes |
| 2024 | 55.7 | 5,182 | 4,905 | +276 | 274 | Yes |
| 2025* | 58.9 | 5,669 | 5,157 | +512 | 475 | Yes |
Every difference is explained: up to 2022 the two totals match within 1%; from 2023 the OECD's net ODA leaves out Norway's capital transfers to Norfund, which account for the gap.
Converted at Norges Bank's annual average rate (NOK per USD: 2020 9.40, 2021 8.60, 2022 9.62, 2023 10.56, 2024 10.74, 2025 10.39). Capital to Norfund: Norway's disbursements to Norfund for private sector instruments in the same Norwegian data, converted at the same rate. * provisional OECD figure.

The index scores how much an agency publishes about its aid (strategies, budgets, projects, results), mostly in the IATI standard, and whether that data passes the index's quality checks. It does not check the amounts on this page, which come from the sources named under each card. The agency took part in the index's accreditation.
