SUSTAINABLE FINANCING OF MPAs IN THE MEDITERRANEAN: A FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Figure 15: Resource mobilisation from international cooperation over the period 2010-2014

4.1.1 Official Development Assistance

Total biodiversity-related bilateral ODA amounted to almost €11m for 2010-2014, from which
68% was devoted to Coastal and Marine Protected Areas/activities, amounting to almost
€7.5m. Only disbursements allocated to the recipient countries were taken into
consideration, as they represent the current annual expenditures. The recipient countries are
Albania, Algeria, Croatia, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey. A small set of
donor countries such as France, the Principality of Monaco and Spain are the primary
contributors in the Mediterranean region along with some private foundations (MAVA
Foundation, Albert II Foundation).
Table 14 below indicates selected types of projects, donor country, and cooperation agency
