This dataset comprises aid statistics on official and private flows in terms of disbursements and commitments and includes aggregate data (no breakdown by recipient) on official development assistance (ODA), other official flows (OOF), private and NGO data by donor, type of aid and flow. The data covers development resource flows (net disbursements, grant disbursements, loan commitments) from all bilateral and multilateral donors. Data are available from 1960 onwards.
The OECD-DAC Survey on forward spending plans is the only regular process that brings together most bilateral and multilateral aid spending plans up to 3 years ahead at the global level.
The Survey traces country programmable aid (CPA), a core subset of gross bilateral overseas development aid (ODA) and multilateral outflows essential for the support of development goals. Only the donors that have agreed to make their forward spending plans publicly available are included in the dataset.
These figures represent donors' future plans of CPA as reported to the OECD-DAC Surveys on donors' forward spending plans. They are donors’ current indicative planning figures, and do not represent firm commitments, but rather donors’ best estimates of future aid efforts. The figures can include both future spending of already committed, on-going aid projects and programmes, as well as estimates of future total country budget envelopes over the next three years. The total figures presented for each donor should therefore be taken as indicative and not misconstrued as obligations of any sort.
This comparative table is a subset of the geographical distribution of financial flow dataset which pertains to the sectoral distribution of bilateral ODA commitments. The distribution refers to the economic sector of destination (i.e. the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure whose development is intended to be fostered by the aid), rather than the type of goods or services provided. These are aggregates of individual projects notified under the Creditor Reporting System, supplemented by reporting on the sectoral distribution of technical co-operation, and on actual disbursement of food and emergency aid.
This subset of the geographical distribution of financial flow dataset provides comprehensive statistics on the volume, origin and types of aid(portfolio investment, ODA loans, ODA grants,contractual lending, food aid) and other resource flows to developing countries on the DAC list of ODA recipients. Data are expressed in millions of USD and are available from 1960 onwards.
