Finland’s humanitarian expenditure, reported through the FTS, 2006-2008

Although both relate to ‘humanitarian’ expenditure, FTS and DAC data are not comparable. Reporting requirements and definitions are different. Some, all or none of a DAC donor’s official humanitarian expenditure might be included in the FTS figures. In some instances, more might be reported in humanitarian assistance through the FTS than is included in OECD DAC data
