Humanitarian needs are raising every year – emerging and ongoing conflicts, the COVID-19 pandemic, and Russia's war in Ukraine have a major impact on the global humanitarian context. Coordination of humanitarian aid is being strengthened both at EU and UN level to bridge the gap between humanitarian needs and humanitarian funding. As a full-fledged EU Member State and an international donor it is essential for Lithuania to respond quickly, timely and flexibly to international requests for assistance and even with limited resources to provide aid where it is needed the most.
In 2024 Lithuania has provided humanitarian aid worth 400 thousand EUR (from the Strategic Action Plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania "Strengthening Lithuania's participation in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in partner countries" funds – 300 thousand EUR).
