Geographical Focus of UAE Assistance
Commitments
In 2022, the UAE pledged AED 425.3 million
(USD 115.8 million) towards supporting two
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in Africa:
Guinea Bissau and Somalia. Breaking down
this commitment by sector reveals that a
dominant 89% is allocated for construction and
civil development initiatives, while the balance
is geared towards improving water transport
infrastructure.
Detailed narratives of the UAE’s assistance to
two countries in Africa – Ethiopia and Sudan – are
provided in the ensuing pages.
