The table shows the amount of money provided to developing countries by the USA, the EU, and other nations between 2006 and 2010, with figures given in millions of dollars.
Overall, the USA consistently contributed the largest sums throughout the period, with its donations rising substantially, whereas the EU and other countries provided considerably smaller amounts. Another notable feature is that contributions from all donors increased by the final year.
In 2006, the USA provided $9.8 million, which was more than three times the EU’s $3.1 million and over three times the $2.8 million contributed by other countries. The USA’s donations rose substantially to $17 million by 2008, dipped slightly to $16.7 million in 2009, and then grew by a further $3.6 million to reach a peak of $20.3 million in 2010.
The EU began at $3.1 million in 2006, after which its contributions climbed steadily to $3.9 million by 2008. This was followed by a slight decline of $0.3 million in 2009, before rising again to $4.1 million in the final year. A similar pattern was observed for other countries: donations started at $2.8 million, increased to $3.5 million by 2008, fell marginally to $3.2 million in 2009, and ended at $3.7 million in 2010.
Regarding total contributions, the combined figure for all three sources was $15.7 million in 2006, which rose sharply to $28.1 million by the end of the period
