In 2010, Norway directed $1.202 billion (Kroner 7.268 million) in development assistance to sub-Saharan Africa. -2% of Norway’s global increases between 2004 and 2010 were directed to the region meaning that while ODA grew to other regions between 2004 and 2010, it fell for sub-Saharan Africa.

Norway’s assistance has focused on health. In 2007, Norway and the UK launched the International Health Partnership (IHP), a global campaign to accelerate progress in meeting the health MDGs, by providing better coordination among donors, focusing on improving health systems as a whole, and by developing and supporting domestic health plans in developing countries.

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative was established in Norway. Norway published the first EITI Report in January 2010 and was accepted by the EITI Board as EITI-compliant on 1 March 2011.
