Development Co-operation Profiles
The OECD’s Development Co-operation Profiles compile and analyse verified statistics and trends on how development assistance is allocated geographically, to sectors, multilateral and civil society organisations, cross-cutting priorities such as gender equality and women’s economic empowerment and the environment and climate, and to mobilise private finance. The profiles cover official and philanthropic providers of aid, official development assistance (ODA) and development finance. These providers include members of the OECD and its Development Assistance Committee (DAC), other countries and philanthropic foundations. The profiles also give an overview of key strategic and policy priorities for development co-operation, the institutional set-up and evaluation systems.

United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a provider of development co-operation since 1971. The UAE’s development co-operation is guided by its foreign assistance policy and its ambitions to reduce poverty, enhance stability and peace, strengthen relationships, and foster trade and investment ties, contributing to global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The United Arab Emirates’ official development assistance (ODA) focuses on supporting fragile countries and contexts and is mostly channelled to bilateral country partnerships for development through multi-year programmes. The United Arab Emirates’ total ODA (USD 1.9 billion, preliminary data) increased in 2023, representing 0.37% of gross national income (GNI). DAC members adopted the grant-equivalent methodology starting from their reporting of 2018 data as a more accurate way to count the donor effort in development loans. See the methodological notes for further details.
