This dataset comprises statistics on creditor report system with a core focus on aid activities. The table examines aid activities in terms of flows, recipient, region, income group, sector, policy objective, type of aid, rio markers, channel, purpose code and amount. The core purpose of this dataset lies in identifying policies it what policies aim to implement by analyzing where aid goes, on a comparable basis for all DAC members. Data are available from 1995 onwards.
This dataset contains bilateral commitment data on aid in support of environment sustainability and aid to biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and desertification from the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Creditor Reporting System (CRS) database.
In addition to bilateral flows, since 2013 the DAC also collects data on climate components from the main Multilateral Development Banks and Rio-marked data for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Adaptation Fund.
Bilateral flows
In their reporting to the DAC CRS, donors are requested to indicate for each activity whether or not it targets environment and the Rio Conventions (biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and desertification). A scoring system of three values is used, in which aid activities are "marked" as targeting environment as the "principal objective" or a "significant objective", or as not targeting the objective.
The environment marker identifies activities that are "intended to produce an improvement in the physical and/or biological environment of the recipient country, area or target group concerned" or "include specific action to integrate environmental concerns with a range of development objectives through institution building and/or capacity development". A large majority of activities targeting the objectives of the Rio Conventions fall under the DAC definition of "aid to environment". The Rio markers permit their specific identification.
Watch out for double-counting!
The same activity can be marked for several objectives, e.g. climate change mitigation and biodiversity. These overlaps reflect that the three Rio Conventions are interlinked and mutually reinforcing. However, care needs to be taken not to double-count the amounts when compiling the total for aid in support of more than one Convention: biodiversity-, climate change- and desertification-related aid should not be added up as this can result in double or triple-counting.
This dataset comprises statistics on destination of Official Development Assistance while focusing on disbursements. These disbursements are analyzed by looking at the recipients, donors, aid type (ODA loans, grants, debt relief, capital subscriptions) with amount types in both current and constant prices. Data are presented from 1960 onwards. This dataset replaces the dataset Aggregate Aid Statistics: ODA by recipient by country, which is no longer available.
This dataset comprises statistics on ODA commitments which are firms written obligation by government or official agency, backed by the appropriation or availability of the necessary funds, to provide resources of a specified amount under specified financial terms and conditions and for specified purposes for the benefit of a recipient country or a multilateral agency.Commitments are considered to be made at the date a loan or grant agreement is signed or the obligation is otherwise made known to the recipient (e.g. in the case of budgetary allocations to overseas territories, the final vote of the budget should be taken as the date of commitment). This comparative table is broken down by recipients, aid type (grants, capital subscriptions, total commitments, associated financing, technical cooperation), amount type and donor country. Data are available starting from 1966 onwards.
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.
This comparative table includes statistics on other official flows which are official sector transactions which do not meet the ODA criteria, e.g.: i.) Grants to developing countries for representational or essentially commercial purposes; ii.) Official bilateral transactions intended to promote development but having a grant element of less than 25 per cent; iii.) Official bilateral transactions, whatever their grant element, that are primarily export-facilitating in purpose. This category category includes by definition export credits. This category includes by definition export credits extended directly to an aid recipient by an official agency or institution ("official direct export credits"); iv.) The net acquisition by governments and central monetary institutions of securities issued by multilateral development banks at market terms; v.) Subsidies (grants) to the private sector to soften its credits to developing countries [see Annex 3, paragraph A3.5.iv)b)]; vi.) Funds in support of private investment. Data coverage starts in 1960
This subset of the detailed aid statistics focuses on private flows which consist of private transactions undertaken by firms and individuals resident in the reporting country. The core variable is further analyzed with the following dimensions: recipient, aid type and donor. Data are provided from 1968 onwards.
This comparative table includes statistics on Official Development Financing (ODF), measured for recipient countries only which is defined as the sum of their receipts of bilateral ODA, concessional and non-concessional resources from multilateral sources, and bilateral other official flows made available for reasons unrelated to trade, in particular loans to refinance debt. ODF are presented by recipients and amount type. Data are expressed in both current and constant prices and are presented from 1960 onwards.
This comparative table pertains to total official flows which represent the sum of Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Other Official Flows (OOF) corresponding to the total (gross or net) disbursements by the official sector at large to the recipient country shown. The table features total official flows by recipient, donor, aid type. Data are available starting from 1960.
This dataset provides statistics on net total receipts which includes Official Development Assistance other official bilateral transaction that are not concessional which are in fact primarily trade facilitating in character (i.e., ‘Other Official Flows’), changes in bilateral long-term assets of the private non-monetatry and monetary sectors, in particular guaranteed export credits, private direct investment, portfolio investment, and to the extent they are not covered in the preceding headings, loans by private banks. Data are available starting from 1960 onwards.
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.
