Norwegian budget proposal for 2021
Vaccines trump most other Norwegian aid efforts in budget for 2021
The Norwegian government has proposed a budget for 2021 that would reduce aid spending by NOK 1.1 billion, while keeping the level at 1 per cent of GNI. COVID19 dominates all areas with vaccine initiatives Gavi and CEPI coming out as the biggest winners, while Norfund, development research and several UN agencies face severe cuts.
