OECD:Foreign development aid still small

Poland spent $421 million on foreign development aid in 2012, only about 0.09 percent of its gross national income and $11 per citizen, according to data published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Compared to other OECD countries, Poland’s spending is tiny. Switzerland spent $1,900 per person in 2012, Sweden spent $1,500, the Netherlands spent $1,200. Financial development support from Poland goes to 40 countries, mostly to Belarus and Ukraine, but also to Afghanistan, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Tunisia, Kenya and Uganda.
