As global leaders gather in Seville for the fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), Monaco has once again cemented its reputation as a key player in international solidarity. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has just released its 2025 donor profiles, with the Principality earning notable recognition.
Monaco officially joined the ranks of the world’s committed donor nations in 2023, when it reported its official Development Aid contributions to the OECD for the first time. The figures speak volumes: between 2022 and 2024, Monaco provided an average of €637 per resident each year towards public development aid — placing the tiny nation among the world’s top contributors per capita.
In an era where many countries are cutting back on foreign aid budgets, Monaco is moving in the opposite direction. The Principality has steadily increased its development aid since 2012 and plans to maintain that upward trend over the next three years.
Monaco’s development strategy focuses on fighting poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting the planet, in line with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Particular attention is given to supporting the world’s Least Developed Countries.
Environmental action remains a pillar of Monaco’s commitment. The Principality is the leading per capita contributor to the Green Climate Fund, the primary international mechanism supporting developing nations in tackling climate change.
