Abstract:
Until the late 1980s, Greece was an aid recipient. However, in the 1990s the country adopted an aid programme focusing on the Balkans and was accepted as a member of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC). In the second decade of the 21st century, the economic crisis led to drastic cuts in its bilateral programme. Today, Greece provides substantial multilateral assistance both to the European Development Fund, which finances programmes in poorer countries, and to UN agencies. It also devotes significant resources to hosting asylum seekers, with the refugee crisis appearing to at least temporarily reverse the trends of declining aid due to the economic crisis.
