Where the figures come from

The snapshot uses Global Affairs Canada’s historical project dataset for 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. Amounts are already allocated by sector and destination in the original file. We sum those allocations without applying the country percentage again. Reflows from earlier loans are a separate information field and are not added to the expenditure total.

Annual international assistance, including bilateral flows and imputed multilateral allocations. This is not all overseas or military spending. Country allocations are not necessarily payments to the recipient country’s government. A programme’s annual allocation is different from its approved lifetime budget. The examples below are part of this destination’s total; adding them on top would double count.

Who received funding, and for what?

What these records do not establish

This dataset does not provide a complete account of every form of Canadian overseas or military support. Imputed multilateral funding estimates a destination’s share of institutional assistance; it is not a traceable direct payment to that destination. A loan’s face value is different from the ultimate fiscal cost or grant-equivalent measure. We do not convert this total into a personal taxpayer share.
