BMEIA PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE According to preliminary reports, Austria’s official development aid (ODA) amounted to EUR 1.09 billion in 2017. This corresponds to an ODA rate of 0.3 percent of gross national income (GNI). DEVELOPMENT OF TOTAL AUSTRIAN ODA A total of 517.7 million euros were spent on bilateral development cooperation. 573.1 million euros have flowed into multilateral funds. The operational budget of the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) / Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) amounted to 94.3 million euros in 2017. As a result, the share of the ADA budget in bilateral ODA rose from around 9 percent in 2016 to around 18 percent in 2017. The lower ODA quota compared to 2016 can mainly be explained by the decrease in eligible funds for first aid for refugees. In total, the eligible refugee costs have decreased by 403.1 million euros and are expected to account for 12 percent of Austrian ODA in 2017. In 2016, the share of refugee costs was particularly high in Austria due to the increased number of refugees arriving in 2015.
