Payments by donor in the last 5 years

Donor	2016	2017	2018
FCDO (United Kingdom)	€1M	€1.9M	€470,967

Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.

Spending on declared projects (IATI)

Only the projects the organisation publishes on IATI: usually a fraction of its total spending (median 14% in our checks).
