ODA 2024: 4'053 billion Swiss francs or 0.51 percent
In 2024, Switzerland's official development assistance (ODA) amounted to CHF 4.05 billion, equivalent to 0.51% of its gross national income (GNI). A quarter of it came from asylum-related costs in Switzerland. Excluding these asylum costs, the ODA ratio was 0.38%.
The decline in ODA in 2024 reflects the decreased asylum-related costs eligible to be recorded as ODA (CHF 300 million) and international cooperation funding (CHF 285 million). In an international comparison, Switzerland remains in eighth place compared to 2023.
Calculating ODA and cross-country comparison
ODA is calculated on the basis of the directives issued by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This allows a statistical comparison of the international commitments of the 31 DAC member states, based on the share of GNI each country spends on ODA.
