Resource mobilisation at the national level consists of both national expenditures and
resources from international cooperation. Over the period 2012-2014, resource mobilisation
for the Mediterranean region amounted to €148,757,020. International cooperation
represents 18% of the total funding, with 82% of funding coming from public budgets.
The financial share of international funding resources and national budgets is shown in the
next graph. Five countries out of 14 are very much dependent on international cooperation.
This is mainly the case for the southern countries of the Mediterranean region.
