In 2008, DAC donors spent US$1.7<br />
billion (15.1%) through the public<br />
sector – a channel that comprises<br />
donor government agencies, such as<br />
embassies and ministries, universities,<br />
and recipient governments.<br />
The above graph (Figure 7) shows just<br />
how much the choice of channel can vary<br />
widely by donor:<br />
• the amount of humanitarian aid<br />
spent directly through NGOs and<br />
CSOs varies from 1.9% in the case<br />
of Portugal to 46.6% in the case of<br />
Switzerland<br />
• Luxembourg does not spend any<br />
money through the public sector,<br />
whereas Austria spends three-fifths<br />
of its humanitarian aid in this way<br />
• 14 donors spend over 60% of their<br />
aid through multilateral agencies<br />
and the UN.<br />
