Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NMFA) is a significant donor to NGOs of the civil society type, and many of the recipients dovetail with NATO objectives. The donor budget was NOK 18 billion in 2020, approximately $2 billion.
Syria
The Ministry was a significant sponsor of civil supplies during the US/NATO regime change operation in Syria, where 90% of all humanitarian aid went to areas controlled by the 'opposition', which controlled 10% of the population. Some of this aid could be used by the militias (food, clothes etc), other parts could be sold on the open market, to create plausible deniability of funding these militias.[citation needed]Noticeably, this funding has mostly stopped in the 2020 budget.[1]
Surprisingly for a country not part of EU, it is financing several Balkans NGOs which are working for EU-accession.
From 2007 onward, Norway gave NOK 640 million $100 million) to projects run by the Clinton Foundation. After Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election, the support were reduced to almost nothing.[2]
The list of donor recipients is just a selection from several hundred projects.
