Feb. 24 marks the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine. During the past year, aid worth tens of billions has flowed from donor nations. But how much? From whom? And what impact has it had on the development sector?
An analysis published earlier this week by a team of researchers from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, known as IFW, breaks down all spending up to mid-January, and shows more than €67.2 billion ($71.3 billion) of commitments that might count as official development assistance.
This aid falls into three main groups: €12.1 billion in humanitarian support, €27.8 billion in grants for direct financial support, and €27.3 billion for supporting refugees.
