DAC Peer Review of Portugal

Portugal's official development assistance/gross national product (ODA/GNP) ratio was 0.26% in 1999 and ranked 16th out of 22 DAC Member countries. Portugal rejoined the DAC in 1991 and has the lowest per capita GNP amongst the Members. Its ODA has grown continuously in recent years and recorded USD 276 million in 1999. A high proportion of this assistance is allocated to least developed countries.
