Figure 2: Budget sums 2013 per country and global in NOK

The pie chart shows the 2013 budget per country, global and regional with a total of 270 Million NOK. Detailed amounts can be found in the table. Some of the budget in the large ‘Global group’ are costs that should have been allocated to a country. In budgets for 2014 and 2015 Norad will get more detailed country budgets for the 42 projects and will be able to allocate more of the budgets to the relevant country.

The table shows that Brazil has the highest budget amount, while Indonesia has the highest number of projects. The commodity projects are to a large degree global (focusing on demand side), but at the country level (supply side) they are concentrated on Brazil and Indonesia. DRC and the Congo basin are not targeted by the projects in the commodity category.

The table includes the countries with the highest budgets and/or a high number of projects.
