The State of Qatar places development cooperation and humanitarian assistance at the centre of its foreign policy. The Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) serves as the country’s principal institution for delivering official development assistance (ODA). QFFD supports programmes across health, education, economic empowerment and humanitarian response, working with bilateral and multilateral partners. 

In January 2015, Qatar announced a pledge of US$ 10 million for Gavi’s 2016–2020 strategic period (Gavi 4.0). At the Global Vaccine Summit 2020, Qatar pledged US$ 20 million to Gavi, doubling its contribution: US$ 10 million supported Gavi’s core programme for 2021–2025, and US$ 10 million financed the Gavi COVAX AMC as a new donor. Qatar’s support for Gavi forms part of a broader development portfolio focused on international solidarity and sustainable impact. According to preliminary OECD data, Qatar provided US$ 911.2 million in ODA in 2025, equivalent to 0.43% of gross national income. Its development cooperation combines strong bilateral engagement with partnerships across the United Nations system, multilateral development banks, civil society and the private sector.
