Through its well-structured columns, this dataset sheds light on the financial engagement and priorities of these countries in the realms of humanitarian efforts, military expenditure, and overall financial contributions within bilateral agreements. Additionally, it highlights the share of financial allocations attributed to the EU's budget, thereby offering insights into the economic dynamics and commitments of EU member states versus non-EU countries featured within the dataset.
