Introduction

This current ODA profile is based on the DAC database managed by the OECD, updated on April 24th 2021. Categorization of spendings are based on the analytical work done in the Ceres2030 project.

All amounts are indicated in constant Canada-2019.

Spendings done by multilateral organizations are not included in Canada’s spendings, except if reported directly by the donor to the OECD.

Evolution of ODA over time from 1999 to 2019

In this section, we describe the overall evolution of Canada ODA in terms of total flows, for both Food Security and non-Food Security focused spendings.

Role of Food Security in Total ODA

We group spendings into 9 categories: Not related to Food Security & Nutrition, Emergency Food Assistance*, Ceres2030 portfolio, Fisheries related projects, Other Nutrition, Other projects related to Agriculture, Other Food Security measures, Others with impacts on Agri-Food Systems, Environment related projects. The category “Others with impacts on Agri-Food Systems” gathers spendings that can are relevant, but loosely linked to Food Security and Nutrition outcomes, especially in terms of improved utilities such as water sanitation, or improved, and sustainable, energy production.

Loans and Grants

The graph below shows the evolution for both grants and loans.

Grants Only

Focus on Food Security and Nutrition

In this section, and the following ones, we will focus on spendings with direct impacts on Food Security and Nutrition, namely Emergency Food Assistance*, Ceres2030 portfolio, Fisheries related projects, Other Nutrition, Other projects related to Agriculture, Other Food Security measures.

Evolution of FNS ODA Grants for FNS topics

As shown on the figure above, the Ceres2030 portfolio captures most of the core FNS development spendings, as soon as we exclude Emergency Food Assistance spendings.

Analysis of recent ODA spendings (2017-2019)

In this section, we focus on the recent period and look at the last 3 years. Amounts are expressed as an annual average.

In the recent years, the FNS-relevant ODA spendings, as defined in the previous section, for both for grants and loans, average 487.7 million, of which 474.8 million are grants only. Ceres2030 interventions, supported by grants, represent 227.6 million. The main difference between our FNS-relevant ODA spendings and Ceres2030 spendings are due to Emergency Food Assistance* (68 million).

Specific Ceres2030 interventions, such as Vocational Training and Women’s rights, include spendings that may be related to non-farm, or non rural-oriented projects, and therefore overestimate their active contributions to FSN goals.
