Portugal
In 2005 Portugal’s net ODA came to USD 377 million. This represents a decrease in real terms over 2004 of 64.1% due to the exceptional debt relief for Angola that year. The ODA/GNI ratio also fell from 0.63% to 0.21%. Commitment to the MDGs. Portugal’s ODA focuses on the five Portuguese-speaking African countries and Timor-Leste, all of which are LDCs. In November 2005 the Council of Ministers approved a new strategy for development co-operation which makes commitment to the MDGs one of its five guiding principles. Specific steps and a calendar to reinforce the integration of poverty reduction throughout Portugal’s development co-operation programme have since been adopted.
