Switzerland provided USD 5.2 billion (preliminary data) of ODA in 2023 (USD 4.8 billion in constant terms) representing 0.6% of GNI.1 This was an increase of 6.9% in real terms in volume and an increase in the share of GNI from 2022. Switzerland’s ODA budget started to increase in 2020, after some decline, and appears to be maintaining the positive trend. Switzerland is in line with its domestic objective of a 0.5% ODA/GNI ratio, but below international commitments to achieve a 0.7% ODA/GNI ratio by 2030. Within Switzerland’s ODA portfolio in 2022, 99.4% was provided in the form of grants and 0.6% in the form of non-grants.2
In 2023, Switzerland ranked 8th among Development Assistance Committee (DAC) countries when ODA is taken as a share of GNI. In 2022, Switzerland is among the DAC members that channelled the highest share of its bilateral ODA support to and through CSOs (25.1%). In 2022, Switzerland was among DAC members with the highest share of gross bilateral ODA disbursements to fragile contexts given for peace (23.8%). The increase of in-donor refugee costs in 2022 means that shares of bilateral ODA allocated to other areas may have decreased from 2021 to 2022, even if absolute volumes have not.
