Revised national budget

Additional 116 million to humanitarian assistance

2018-05-15: 'Norway's humanitarian budget has never been bigger than it is now, but the needs created by the world's humanitarian crises are continuing to grow. The Government has therefore proposed increasing the humanitarian budget by NOK 116 million. The additional funds will be channelled primarily to the crises in Yemen and the DR Congo,' said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
