Berlin, January 22, 2025 – Germany has provided approximately €35 billion in development assistance in 2023, according to official figures released today. This represents a significant increase from the €31 billion contributed in 2022.
The German government’s commitment to international development is driven by a recognition of the global challenges facing the world, including poverty, climate change, and conflict.

- Peace and Security: Contributing to efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts, promote peacebuilding, and protect vulnerable populations.
- Governance and Human Rights: Supporting measures that strengthen democratic institutions, promote the rule of law, and protect human rights.
In 2023, Germany directed approximately €10 billion to sub-Saharan Africa, making it the largest recipient region of German development assistance. Other significant recipients include South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
The German government’s development cooperation is implemented through a variety of channels, including bilateral partnerships, multilateral organizations, and non-governmental organizations. The government works closely with partner countries to identify and address their development priorities.
Welcoming the announcement, the German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Svenja Schulze, emphasized the importance of global solidarity in tackling urgent global challenges. “The funds provided by Germany will make a significant contribution to improving the lives of people in developing countries and supporting their sustainable development,” she said. “We must continue to work together to build a more just and equitable world.”
