The Spanish government announced in a statement on Monday that it will donate 935 million euros (about 1.2 billion U.S. dollars) for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals in 2006, 78 percent higher more than that in 2004.
Leire Pajin, secretary of state for international cooperation, signed an agreement on Monday with Eveline Herfkens, the UN executive coordinator, to deliver the money to the millennium campaign, the statement said.
Pajin said the agreement represents "a very important advance in quality and quantity, but there is still a long way to go."
