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 Kingdom
In November 2023, the United Kingdom published its international co-operation white paper “International development in a contested world”. This followed significant changes to its development co-operation architecture and policy in 2020 with the creation of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (EU). Among Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members, the United Kingdom provides the highest share of private sector instruments to least developed countries (LDCs) and other low-income countries (LICs). It also has a high share of bilateral ODA to fragile contexts. The United Kingdom’s total official development assistance (ODA) (USD 19.1 billion, preliminary data) increased in 2023, representing 0.58% of gross national income (GNI).
