tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn't realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it'll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all

What % of its GDP does the Netherlands have to put into international aid to make seventh place?!

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

7.4 billion, which is around 0.7% of GDP. 0.66% of GNI.

For comparison, the US might win out on pure billions, but compared to the size of the economy, it uses a whopping 0.24% of the GNI on foreign aid, a figure that is almost certainly going to drop in the near future.

The US traditionally has funded quite a few "for the good of the world" programs and aid. At least until recently. Thats a good graph.

The new overloads can't be having with any of that Helping People nonsense. Not for free, anyway.

It looks like just the UK, France and Germany combined already add up to more aid with a combined GDP that’s much lower than the US. These kinds of graphs give a distorted picture due to the high population and GDP that the US has.
